gizmo #57

easy one

[JonB]

well, since i lost 2 gizmos that i found last week (i jstcant find them on my disk?!), i had to find one new today quickly.it should be pretty easy one so i will have additional question.

I want to know what is this and WHO made it(person or company).

[ldcheap.com...]

[lorax]

It's one of the original Norden bombsights? Carl L. Norden invented it and worked for Sperry Gyroscope Company.

[JonB]

lorax: no

[JonB]

before i answer: do i have to answer on all questions? are those rules?

lawman: I am not familiar with this gizmo in details , but those are "botles"(there is soemthing in them) but i would say no electrolytes.

[jatar_k]

you don't have to answer every question if you don't want to.

does it have anything to do with a fellow by the name of O'Riely?

[lawman]

do i have to answer on all questions? are those rules?

I know of know such rule, but I defer to our exalted originator, Macguru. Otherwise, use your best judgment.

[jatar_k]

this is my guess

In 1891, Samuel O'Riely patented the first electric tattooing machine. It was based on Edison's electric pen which punctured paper with a needle point. The basic design with moving coils, a tube and a needle bar, are the components of today's tattoo gun.

[lawman]

Haha, I guess not to answer is to answer.

[JonB]

jatar: you are getting closer. half close ;)

[jatar_k]

it said no originally so I removed the link but it looks like i still have a shot

[jatar_k]

was it ben franklin that invented it?

[JonB]

i didnt ask who invented it or "first" made it ;)

to make it easier thecompany has "wild animal" in their name.

[JonB]

jatar, if you have the exact shot, you are the winner.let me see pic.

[defanjos]

[jatar_k]

defanjos beat me to it, I must concede

[defanjos]

Let me add,
It was way too easy after jatar_k answer, that is why I kind of feel bad for winning it. But that is the way the gizmo goes - dropping hints is very dangerous :)

[lorax]

I still think it's a Norden bombsight! ;)

Congrats defanjos!

[jatar_k]

>>that is the way the gizmo goes

exactly

[JonB]

dropping hints is very dangerous
-------
i agree! you need hints to see if you are in right directions but then it can happen the same it happen to him.happen to me last time when we were talking about audiophille.and almsot lost it again with star dust - there were 3 posts at the same time .

ok congratulations one more time and next time i will prepare better.next week :)

[defanjos]

Ok Guys and Gals, next Gizmo quiz will be next Saturday, most likely, around 1PM US eastern time.

See you all Saturday

[Macguru]

Ouch! No more lunch breaks for me!

Here is a funny pic [vif.com] for lorax, one [vif.com] for lawman and something unexpected [vif.com] for the rest of us.

Congrats to King Defanjos!

Added: Oops, I forgot jatar_k [vif.com]!

[lawman]

The art of funny pictures is not lost; however it seems to reside only in Macguru.

[lorax]

ROFLMAO - That one for "the rest of us" was too much! That lunch bag was added right!?
