Oops, I meant DVD. My brain tricked me.

Ok, here's an easy one.

It looks like the rigging of an umbrella. If correct any and all members feel free to jump in for the next challenge. 02:30 wake-up comes early.

An umbrella it is. One of the compact ones.

Here it is, practicing for a remake of Mary Poppins.



At the Admiral's request, the challenge is open.

Here's one.
What is it? What is it used for?

 

[twerppoet49]

Kind of looks like another buss seat, but it's way too clean.

Sorry,not a bus seat. I'm sure you have or had an item like this yourself.

 

[twerppoet49]

Amazing how perspective can mess with you.

In that case my other guess is an electronic device, small enough to be clipped to a pocket or belt. A pager maybe?

 

[scifan5752]

The device itself is not electronic but is used in an electronic device. The item is almost 100% plastic. Here 's another photo.

 

[twerppoet49]

Ah, got it. It's an audio cassette tape.

I probably do have one or two gathering dust somewhere.

 

[fleur07]

VCR tape?

 

[twerppoet49]

VCR tape?

I think you're right, now that I look closer.

 

[fleur07]

If I am, please take it away.. It's almost 1am

 

[scifan5752]

It is a VHS cassette.

as per Fleur's request,the challenge is open to anyone who wishes to post a challenge.

This, and several like it, go inside a popular school accessory

One of the inserts of an automatic pencil, or at least the cheaper version of an automatic pencil.
