    Ironing board?

    can you see, can you see what it is yet?

    we're all done with that blue thing? yes

    I sure hope so.

    I am afraid I cannot keep it in. Why are we waiting, why are we waiting, oh why are we waiting, oh why why why...Why are we waiting, why are we waiting, oh why are we waiting, oh why why why...Why are we waiting, why are we waiting, oh why are we waiting, oh why why why...Why are we waiting, why are we waiting, oh why are we waiting, oh why why why...

    Well I'm STILL in between moving houses, not getting into the new place for another couple of weeks, so unless you literally want an ironing board, someone else will have to take up the challenge.

    Actually, second thoughts, I'll just nab a picture off the web... What is this and what would you use it for?

    Can see why you'd say that, but nope. As an idea for scale, it's a wee bit big for putting in your mouth... But you're not a million miles away.

    Nah everything's in storage, moved out the old house, with friends at the moment until the new place is ready.

    Is it a brace for holding the head during an optical test (old bit of equipment)?

    Nope, but I will tell you it is for the body.

    Not a pelvic clamp. They do come in different sizes, but as a rough guide, here's one beside a small dog:

    Nice idea but no. It's something you would use on the body.

    Is it for fitting a dressing?

    Something like an elasticated bandage, you put it on the spreader and then, say, put the leg through it to pull it on.

    Or, keeping a wound open so that you can work inside?

    Bingo. They're balfour retractors, mainly used for abdominal surgery to give you a good view.
