Come on then you lot, what's this?
Recently had the opportunity to clear out the Sheds of an old chap in Birmingham for his family. 3 Transit Loads later including 2 FOBCO drills (I
already have one I'm rebuilding) and some quite nice rare bits and pieces, i.e. Sturmy Archer bits.
But in amongst some other bits n bobs I found this, Google isn't much help, anyone seen anything like it before?
The label reads DSWH1 in the top right hand box and volts 230/50 in the bottom left and 30 watts in the bottom right.
Early single cup heater?

Its would appear to be an immersible heater element, exactly for what though?
Would appear Dowsing made various thing with electrical heated elements in them so this fits their repatoir.
Sealing wax? Something that didn't need boiling at only 30W

Reminds me of a bigger version of the heating element on my mam's old Carmen Rollers for doing her hair back in the 80s.

Early sex machine, later variants included a push pull movement.
Failing that it has a keyhole fixing on the base, is it used for heating home brew beer?

Looks like a heater to heat up bearings before fitting on a shaft

What it's sat on
I'm more impressed by what it's sat on. Does the other side have the timing for G45s, G50s and 7Rs? That would be even more impressive.

As they did a lot of irons for snooker tables/billiard tables etc. I wonder if it was to iron inside the pockets?
The tube does look like it would be the heater, and chromed to be smooth
What is the inside face look like when hung up on the wall?
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

my guess is photographic processing, note also the 'probe' would be vertical downwards, (see keyhole slot on base/ back)

It's for warming up a tin of grease to increase the viscosity and make easier to handle.

Is there no chaffing (ooer mrs) or liquid marks on it as evidence of it being used for anything?
