What is it? Set 490

It could be for clocks.

It definately is a puller, but given its not adjustable..its probably a piece made for a given object to be removed. What that object is...is open to question. It is 7" long..so the opening in the center is probably 2.5". Given the thumbscrew..its not meant for something commonly rusted or jammed on.

Good!

Intersting. I get nothing from the site with Firefox -- but on a system running Sun's Solaris OS -- and the CPU would not support Windows anyway -- it doesn't run on an UltraSPARC CPU. :-)

Opera no longer supports Solaris -- so I can't run anything newer than 10.11 (*way* out of date by now). And, since unlike Firefox, it is not open source, so there is no chance of someone else making it work there.

With FireFox, I am running 19.0.2. But I am also using "noscript" with it, which may be turning off something which it needs to work. (But turning things back on does not make it work.)

Maybe the site just needs an Intel CPU to work. :-(

Thanks, DoN.

Not yet -- probably somewhere downthread a bit.

Thanks!

Enjoy, DoN.

I'm familiar with the masking. I was unable to use Opera at all for a while. I had added a second Creator-3D framebuffer and turned on Xinerama (allows spreading of a virtual screen over multiple physical screens), and it was crashing Opera before it ever displayed anything on the screen, and was crashing some pages in FireFox (even the latest) when they needed JavaScript and Flash (and Flash also no longer supplies updates for Solaris. :-(

But I replaced the two Creator-3D frambuffers with an XVR-1200 dual one, and I now have things working as desired -- and Oprea no longer commits suicide on invocation, so I can go back to trying that.

Great! Yes, that works for me, too. I should have tried that earlier. Except that the URL is hard to pry out of the browser. :-)

Well ... wget helps. And Opera works for me now, even "identifying as Opera" -- no masking needed. So they have fixed part of the problems -- but they still have something which does not like UltraSPARC based FireFox for whatever reason. I wonder what would happen with an X86 based Solaris? O.K. The 5.0 version of Firefox on that system just hangs with a blank screen. That system can't even ping the img.photobucket.com site, though traceroute does get (slowly) out past my own domain's machines into the ISP's world. And no problem accessing:

so it is not the net access itself which is the problem, though a lot of my machines are intentionally blocked from reaching the outside. :-)

It does not now matter, since Opera does work for me, but the version of Opera which I have is 10.11.

Thanks, DoN.

It might be a pulley puller -- or a fan blade puller -- both of which normally need lower forces. The thumbscrew looks like about

1-4/20, so it is for fairly small hub devices scaling up from that.

Enjoy, DoN.

Okay for now, glad you got something working :) I'll make a note for your version of Opera just in case.

At the time I thought it might have been something that Opera was correcting via their browser.js file. But I just looked through their latest version of browser.js and there is no mention of either blogspot or photobucket in it. My other best guess is that they fixed something at either blogspot or photobucket and it took a bit to get flushed out of my disk cache.

Glad to hear that the problem is solved, if you have any more similar issues please let me know.

I had some troubles at the time and I was running Opera 12. Been using Opera 12 builds for maybe a year now, too lazy to figure out exactly...

At the time it seemed to clear up when I forced/downloaded the latest browser.js update, but I think now that was just a coincidence. In looking over the latest browser.js there is no mention in it for either photobucket or blogspot. It was screwed up for maybe a two week period for me. Not quite long enough for me to dig into it seriously ;-)

Thanks for the tip that Photobucket was definitely messing around with their code at the time.

Rob I think item 2855 was made/used to find the exact same point on two sides of an object. I'm sure I've seen one elsewhere, just can't place it. It wold definitely be carpenter type accuracy, not machinist.

Is there a different name for it than calipers? Because I haven't found any calipers that have handles.
