I'll have a pix up just as soon as I get one set up on my server, Thanx John, Edit: This one is not to hard, what it is made of is there for the seeing, what it was made for should follow, so after it is determined what it is made of I'll accept any thing that the object can do with reason. First hint: It is a tool. ID: 1469734 ·

The only function I could find for it was demonstrating how the spin axis aligned with the centre of gravity, not the center of the length of the object. ID: 1469759 ·
