Nice try - when was brass declared a resistive material? Musta missed that one.
[/P I T A] - had to edit the dummy dumb-xxx psuedo-code tags because of the "filter" on three letter words that mean butt.


I feel just as confused as ever.

zoom in and you'll see the strip (resistive material) isn't attached to the brass. maybe.

PS: I thought the profanity filter worked generally on four letter words. --- is a word that means diminuative cousin of the horse. Missed that. Of course --- hole would be descriptive but a real problem in post.

I think the technical term for what you all seem to think of as brass is, actually, "muck". And as materials go, this is immensly resistive, at least to cleaning.

My guess is that this photo shows HÄGAR, an unsucessful prototype of a new IKEA lamp.

1.Search around in the dusty corners of your lab for broken bits of ancient equipment.
2.Lay the bits out on a bench and look at them with a thoughtful expression.
3.Choose some of the bits so that you have an eclectic mixture.
4.Cobble the chosen bits together to make a random structure.
5.Take a photograph of your handiwork and send it to PF under the heading:

I already guessed what it is. The others just haven't admitted I'm right.
