Who / What / Where Game Part 2

[bracer]

Is it used to indicate something?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Nope

[bracer]

Interesting!
To measure something?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Nope - like I said, it's not 'used' by people

[bracer]

Is it a bug?

[Catfish]

Is it in the cm-range, size-wise?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ bracer - bug-related, yes

@ Catfish - yes, small

[bracer]

Is it a bug weaving net/silk?

[Aktungbby]

a spider's web weaving pore?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ bracer - A creature or bug wove the filaments at the top - but exactly what is it we are looking at?

@ Aktung - not connected with spiders

Clue: a regal connection

[mapuc]

Is it a caterpillar who is building a pupa we see in the picture ?

Markus

[bracer]

Is it a cocoon? Monarch butterfly :-)

[Aktungbby]

a queen bee?

[Eichhörnchen]

I have to award it to Markus since he got in just ahead with "pupa" - although very well done to bracer for getting it just a whisker too late - and spotting the 'regal' connection with the Monarch butterfly :up:

https://i.imgur.com/uRYu3BX.jpg

[bracer]

Fair! :salute:
Nice challenge! I love how it went from wearble hat to pupa :-)

[Eichhörnchen]

Thanks, mate - butterflies & moths are a special interest of mine, so if you pick something you know about then you can answer the questions with confidence, picking your way through the awkward business of answering honestly but without giving up too much

:Kaleun_Salute: Top marks to Markus!

[mapuc]

Ok so what is this

https://i.imgur.com/MoxJjwUm.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Did James Bond drive it?

[Jimbuna]

Lotec C1000?

[mapuc]

No James Bond did not drive this car

No it's not Lotec C1000

The car in question is way older

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Did James Bond drive it?

I watched him die last night...something I thought I'd never see.

[Jimbuna]

Post WWII?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this intake visible on the outside - or must the car be opened up to see it?

(@ Jim - what did I miss?)

[mapuc]

Post WWII?

If you mean after the war....then Yes.

Markus

[mapuc]

Is this intake visible on the outside - or must the car be opened up to see it?

(@ Jim - what did I miss?)

Yes the intake is very well visible from outside

Markus

[Jimbuna]

He actually died in the movie 'No Time To Die'

[Jimbuna]

Yes the intake is very well visible from outside

Markus

Post 2000?

[mapuc]

Post 2000?

A lot earlier. I can say that most of us wasn't born or being an adult then.

Markus

[bracer]

Was it in a movie?

[mapuc]

Was it in a movie?

They may have made a movie about the car..but this car wasn't made for movies

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Frontal air intake of a Mercedes Benz racing car, one of the legendary "Silberpfeile" (silver arrows) of the 1950s. I'd guess a W 196.

[Jimbuna]

Frontal air intake of a Mercedes Benz racing car, one of the legendary "Silberpfeile" (silver arrows) of the 1950s. I'd guess a W 196.

I'd be surprised if so, ten were built.

Produced from: 1954 - 1955 ; Numbers built: 10 (4 Streamliners) ; Internal name: W196 ;

Congratulation-You got it :Kaleun_Salute:

Here some link to this racing car

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W196

https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/en/heritage/silver-arrows/mercedes-benz-w-196-r-1954-1955/

The picture I used was from a 1/8 scale model of this car.

Markus

[mapuc]

I'd be surprised if so, ten were built.

Produced from: 1954 - 1955 ; Numbers built: 10 (4 Streamliners) ; Internal name: W196 ;

Yes there was produced 10 but none of them was build to drive on ordinary roads.
Each of them was produced for one thing--Formula 1

You asked if the car was a mass production.

Edit
I toke information about the car from this model side
https://www.agoramodels.com/1955-mercedes-w196/

And here it gives the impression that only one car was build
I should have made further search on the car.

End edit

Markus

[Ostfriese]

That had me confused as well, but the air intake is quite distinctive.
Anyway, here is a new one:

What EXACTLY is being built in this picture?

https://s20.directupload.net/images/230102/csil3t6m.jpg

[mapuc]

(I'll try to ask wrong question hereafter)

the building in the picture is part of a Battleship.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

That had me confused as well, but the air intake is quite distinctive.


Quite, and a little too ambiguous in my estimation.

On your question above....A US warship.

The Pennsylvania?

[Ostfriese]

Not a battleship (neither US nor any other nation's), so not the Pennsylvania, either.

[Jimbuna]

Motor armored car of the Kirov Plant?

[Ostfriese]

Motor armored car of the Kirov Plant?


Interesting suggestion, but no :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Part of the 'Atlantic Wall' defences?

[Jimbuna]

Is it military in nature?

[Ostfriese]

Yes

[Jimbuna]

A destroyer?

[Ostfriese]

A destroyer?


^ No

[Jimbuna]

Warship?

[bracer]

A carrier?

[Ostfriese]

Warship?
A carrier?


Yes to both.

[Jimbuna]

151 aircraft carriers were built in the U.S. during World War II so that is quite some list.

[Eichhörnchen]

Essex Class?

[Ostfriese]

Essex Class?


^ No

[bracer]

Brittish?

[Jimbuna]

American?

[Ostfriese]

Neither British nor American.

[Jimbuna]

Graf Zeppelin?

[Ostfriese]

Graf Zeppelin?

Not that many other options left if it's neither Japanese nor American nor British, right? :03:

It is indeed a picture of the island of Graf Zeppelin, taken on June 20th, 1939, while the ship was still fitting out. Over to you, then.

[Jimbuna]

What exactly is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/zBHzNVMx/gbggg.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

The sail of a british sub?

[Jimbuna]

Not quite.

[Aktungbby]

is it a sub?

[Jimbuna]

It is and I suspect you will be the first to identify it.

[Eichhörnchen]

Ohio class?

[bracer]

Dreadnought?

[Jimbuna]

Ohio class?

Not as big dimensionally.

[Jimbuna]

Dreadnought?

Not as old.

[bracer]

Dolphin class?

[Aktungbby]

diesel?

[Jimbuna]

Dolphin class?

Afraid not.

[Jimbuna]

diesel?

Diesel-electric.

[Catfish]

No. 569?

[Jimbuna]

Not sure if you are referring to the USS Albacore or the Type VIIC but neither of those.

[Catfish]

^ thought of the 2nd USS Albacore as a Diesel-electric test bed for the streamlined hull

Is it a US sub?

[Jimbuna]

Not American and becoming increasingly surprised Vinnie the Pooh hasn't come up with the correct answer.

[Ostfriese]

Is it a sub in a museum?

[Eichhörnchen]

Was the pic taken in Scotland?

[bracer]

Yuan-class?

[Jimbuna]

Is it a sub in a museum?

Not in a museum and is still in service.

[Jimbuna]

Was the pic taken in Scotland?

Less than one hundred mile away.

Yuan-class?

Not Yuan but an ally/NATO member.

[Aktungbby]

Upholder class?

[Jimbuna]

The sail of a british sub?

Upholder class?

Not RN.

A photo clue: A guard on deck.

https://i.postimg.cc/Gt0YWMdt/6u6uui7i.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Ostfriese]

A type 212 submarine?
edit: probably not.

[Jimbuna]

No but I was wondering if the naval uniform would have given the identity away.

Another clue (are you seeing this Aktung) I took the picture.

[Aktungbby]

built in England?

[Jimbuna]

No :)

[Aktungbby]

did it theoretically 'sink' an American aircraft carrier in a fleet exercise?'

[Ostfriese]

A Dutch sub? Walrus class?

[Jimbuna]

did it theoretically 'sink' an American aircraft carrier in a fleet exercise?'

It sure did.

[Aktungbby]

It is and I suspect you will be the first to identify it.

Not American and becoming increasingly surprised Vinnie the Pooh hasn't come up with the correct answer.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/HMS_Gotland_-_Ystad-2015.jpg Gotland managed to penetrate the defensive measures of Carrier Strike Group 7 undetected and snap several pictures of USS Ronald Reagan during the December pre-deployment Joint Task Force Exercise 06-2 (JTFEX 06-2) in the Pacific Ocean (probably in the California Operating Areas), effectively "sinking" the aircraft carrier.[15] The exercise was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the US Fleet against modern diesel-electric submarines, which some have noted as severely lacking.[16][17] In 2001, during the exercise JTFEX 01-2 in the Caribbean Sea, the German U24 of the conventional 206 diesel-electric class "sank" the carrier Enterprise by firing flares and taking a photograph through its periscope.[18]

In July 2007, Gotland departed San Diego for Sweden.[19]

[Jimbuna]

A Dutch sub? Walrus class?

BINGO!!

Over to you :salute:

Photo taken by me in 2014 when she was berthed a little over a mile away from my place of abode.

@Aktung....I've a niggling feeling I've used this example before and you were the first to identify correctly.

[Jimbuna]

I'll not tinker with your deletion Glynn but needless to say....a day late and a dollar short :)

[Ostfriese]

And here I thought Aktung beat me :D


OK, something new:


https://s20.directupload.net/images/230103/2jajgis5.jpg


Where would you find this?

[mapuc]

I think it's a display on a ship and the icon who looks like a cross is the rudder indicator.

Markus

[bracer]

Controls for machinery?

[Ostfriese]

I think it's a display on a ship and the icon who looks like a cross is the rudder indicator.

Markus

Controls for machinery?


It does control machinery, but not on a ship.

[Eichhörnchen]

I'll not tinker with your deletion Glynn but needless to say....a day late and a dollar short :)

It would've made no difference I thought it was French :D:haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Ostfriese: connected with accumulator technology?

:D That would be way too easy.

[Eichhörnchen]

[Aktungbby]

It would've made no difference I thought it was French I didn't know there were 2 theoretical sinkings by diesel-electric subs:: one Swedish(my post); one dutch:hmmm: https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/0https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/07/walrus-the-submarine-that-sank-a-u-s-navy-aircraft-carrier-in-a-simulation/ank-a-u-s-navy-aircraft-carrier-in-a-simulation/ The submarines were in high demand by NATO as they are noted to be extremely silent. During the multi-national “Joint Task Force Exercise/Theatre Missile Defence Initiative 1999” (JTFEX/TMDI99) HNLMS Walrus successfully penetrated the U.S. Navy screen and “sank” several ships, including the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) before escaping.

[Ostfriese]

I didn't know there were 2 theoretical sinkings by diesel-electric subs:: one Swedish; one dutch:hmmm:


A German Sub (U-24, a Type 206 submarine) achieved this as well, successfully sneaking up on USS Enterprise (CVN-65) during an excercise in the Carribbean.

[mapuc]

Apparently so.

[Jimbuna]

A crane?

[Ostfriese]

A crane?


Not really, but not too far away either.

[Jimbuna]

A car crusher?

[Ostfriese]

A car crusher?


^ No.

[Eichhörnchen]

A dockside derrick?

[Ostfriese]

A dockside derrick?


No, although similar to Jimbuna's earlier suggestion ("crane") not too far away.

On a very basic level it does the same thing a crane/derrick does, but it's very basic, and clearly different as soon as you get into detail.

[Catfish]

remote control for some beam hoist?

[Ostfriese]

remote control for some beam hoist?


No, neither remote nor beam hoist.

[bracer]

Controls for a conveyor belt?

[Ostfriese]

Controls for a conveyor belt?


^ No

[Jimbuna]

A silo bucket that picks up grain?

[Ostfriese]

A silo bucket that picks up grain?


No, not even close.

[Aktungbby]

it lifts heavy things?

[Ostfriese]

it lifts heavy things?


It lifts things, indeed, but they are not heavy in industrial terms.

[Aktungbby]

used indoors or outdoors?

[Jimbuna]

Boxes and packages?

[Ostfriese]

@Aktung: outdoors


@Jimbuna: no, neither boxes nor other packages

[Jimbuna]

Electrically powered?

[Ostfriese]

Electrically powered?


Not primarily, but it comes with an emergency system which is electrically powered.

[Jimbuna]

Could be anything so I'll await a couple of clues.

[Ostfriese]

I agree that an additional clue is necessary:

the entire machinery is mobile, and its mobility is absolutely essential, it would be pointless if it wasn't mobile.

[Jimbuna]

Can't be a fork lift truck surely?

[Ostfriese]

Can't be a fork lift truck surely?


No, not a fork lift.

[Aktungbby]

Does it have a combination of wheels and tracks ?

Markus

^ No
:nope:can't be a forklift truck; that'd have wheels...:hmmm: I know; iv'e drivin' a few!:03:

[Ostfriese]

:nope:can't be a forklift truck that's have wheels...:hmmm: I know; iv'e drivin' a few!:03:


Be careful here, Markus asked for a combination of wheels AND tracks. Before you ask: it does have wheels, but not tracks.

[Aktungbby]

so: a stationary lifting device with engine power?

[Ostfriese]

so: a stationary lifting device with engine power?


To repeat myself: The entire machinery is mobile, and its mobility is absolutely essential, it would be pointless if it wasn't mobile.

[Aktungbby]

made in Germany?

[Ostfriese]

made in Germany?


In this specific case yes, but there are producers in other countries as well.

[Eichhörnchen]

Railroad loco recovery unit?

[Ostfriese]

Railroad loco recovery unit?


Nothing to do with railroads.

[Eichhörnchen]

Highway breakdown recovery then?

[Ostfriese]

Highway breakdown recovery then?


Nope, but "recovery" is not an entirely wrong direction.

[Eichhörnchen]

Do its wheels have tyres (tires)?

[Ostfriese]

Do its wheels have tyres (tires)?


Yes

[mapuc]

Do you push this thing or does it drive by itself ?

You mentioned before that it had electricity only for emergency shutdown
(from memory)

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Four-wheeled?

[Ostfriese]

Do you push this thing or does it drive by itself ?

You mentioned before that it had electricity only for emergency shutdown
(from memory)

Markus


It drives itself (with a driver, that is).



To clarify: the entire thing has an engine that under normal circumstances powers both the driving mechanism and the machinery (which is controlled by a control panel, partially shown in my picture).

The electric emergency system is only needed if the standard engine fails, and the emergency system only powers the additional machinery, not the driving mechanism.

[Eichhörnchen]

How many wheels has it (counting paired/double wheels as one)?

(And not including the steering wheel lol)

[Jimbuna]

How many wheels has it (counting paired/double wheels as one)?

See two posts up.

[Ostfriese]

Four-wheeled?


Usually yes, but there also are six-wheeled variants and -rarely- eight-wheeled variants.

[Aktungbby]

does it handle freight for shipping?

[Ostfriese]

does it handle freight for shipping?


^ No.

[Eichhörnchen]

See two posts up.

Looks like we crossed - I didn't see yours :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

Does it clear up hazardous spillages?

[Ostfriese]

Does it clear up hazardous spillages?


^ No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does it have a large tank or other container on the chassis?

[Ostfriese]

Does it have a large tank or other container on the chassis?


No, usually not, but there are exceptions, and while those exceptions are extraordinarily rare in most parts of the world they are more common in the US. I don't know how common, though.

For its main purpose it doesn't need large tanks - those tanks would offer an addional function.

[Ostfriese]

Maybe another addition is necessary: when I wrote that it lifts things I really shoud have written:


it lifts "things"

[mapuc]

Does this machinery have a special working area..Meaning working at train station ?

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Does this machinery have a special working area..Meaning working at train station ?

Markus


No, it is not specifically used at train stations (but it could be used there, if necessary).

[mapuc]

No, it is not specifically used at train stations (but it could be used there, if necessary).

I used the train station as an example.
Your answer gives me the indication that this machinery can be used almost everywhere outside.

Markus

[Catfish]

Some self-moving lift, like used for controlling and repairing electrical stuff and wire poles?
(I do not even know how this is called in Germany, saw it numerous times)

[Ostfriese]

I used the train station as an example.
Your answer gives me the indication that this machinery can be used almost everywhere outside.

Markus


Indeed, one of it's key features is that it can be used in many different locations outside, usually outside of buildings.

[Ostfriese]

Some self-moving lift, like used for controlling and repairing electrical stuff and wire poles?


It oculd be used for that, but that would be highly unusual.


(I do not even know how this is called in Germany, saw it numerous times)


Do you mean a "Hebebühne" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebeb%C3%BChne ?

[mapuc]

Does this type of machinery have hydraulic support legs ?

Markus

[Catfish]

^ not exactly, what i mean is a self-propelled and steerable moving lift. It comes with different number of wheels, and is steerable from the ground or from the platform at the top. Also used indoors like for expositions/fairs.
This "Hebebühne" you mentioned is stationary.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it ever used for towing?

[Ostfriese]

@mapuc: Yes, it does.


@Catfish: it is, you are quite close, but still not quite there.



@Eichhörnchen: no, it's not used for towing.

[mapuc]

I have to thing in my mind

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Does it produce some sort of textile, like cloth or fabric?

[Jimbuna]

[Jimbuna]

A tractor?

[mapuc]

@ Aktungbby No not battery powered

@ Jimbuna no even if this object or machine is mobile when in use and stationary when not.

This machine is the forefather to future machine-Here I'm talking about the engine.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

[mapuc]

Must be an aircraft engine then?

No this machine was build earlier- In fact in the end of 1800.

Markus

At the end of the year 1800 or at the end of the 19th century (like in the 1890s)?

[mapuc]

Yes in the end of the 19th century

I should specify what I want you to guess

It's the entire object which was the first of its kind
Even the engine was first of it's kind and a forerunner for future engines.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

Should have remembered that one earlier, I've seen it in the Deutsches Museum in Munich half a dozen times (if you ever are in Munich, the Deutsches Museum is well worth a visit. Also Bavarian beer is great, and I'm saying that as a "Saupreiß", a person from former Prussia!).


Anyway, who's looking at us here?
