Roman water screw on Nero's great ship

It looks like some kind of Archimedean jobbie, so would it be for moving something along rather than drilling, as u crank asks?

Good question...it may have been indirectly used in a war effort, but not directly.

Indeed, but still wrong.

Does it move a product or does it move the object it is attached to?

It moves a product, lots of them down the screw to the destination...and that then helps move the object that it is attached to.

Indeed...but what steam locomotive?

Eichhörnchen · 10-12-14, 05:16 PM

D'you know, I was just about to say coal, but for excavating the stuff!

Well, let's go over the clues.

It was made in the UK
It has seen wartime use

And another clue for you:

Although built in the UK, it was not made for any British railway.
