Not a stump grinder. I just made it into an image link and removed the "s" from https (hitting the quote button on that post will show all). ;-) Cheers. |

Not used with a jetway. But more likely to be used at an airport big enough to have a jetway. (Your next clue.) ![]() ![]() |

Something to do with towing luggage carts? David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Okay, what else gets towed at an airport besides planes, luggage carts, and jetways? As shown, is that third wheel on the ground or hanging in the air? Starter cart? David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Should have read all the replies before replying to David. It is indeed a runway friction measurement tool. Chandorchasma has it! Winner! PM sent. I think the new rules say you get to accept the win, or throw it up for grabs. ![]() ![]() |

Hmm, looks like a rendering rather than a physical item? The hemisphere's look like they will interlock, is that a hinge in the middle? Isn't used in kitchen so not a melon baller headlight buckets and cross bar for a model T rat-rod? |
