Still trying?!?!?

I thought that "pneumatic brake" would be sufficient.

We can keep going...... no, not for tension.

Hey man, not to be a bad sport or anything... But what kind of answer are you expecting? Is there a brand name for this thing or do you want us to figure out what machine this gets attached to. Maybe what products the machine makes or perhaps what type of component the brake is attached to?

It's just... If this is a pneumatic brake and that has been said... Is this one solved?

Sorry, just hoping for clarification

Thanks for asking for clarification!

I was only looking for "brake" so I think pliskin is up!

It's a pneumatic shafts brake. It belonged to a 30 year old industrial paper laminator that I'm working on modernizing at my internship. I'll update this post with a photo when I get a chance for those that would be interested!

bumpity bump... can we haz a new picture ?

OK here you go. This one is about 6 inches long but they can vary in size. What is it?

Shed skin from a reptile. Snake, perhaps?

Some sort of dried algae?

Not a skin/reptilian or algae.

Iarn · April 21, 2016, 01:17:36 PM

Is it some sort of preserved carcass? Is it biological at all or is it inorganic?

pliskin · April 21, 2016, 01:22:44 PM

It is biological but not preserved.

a tentacle off like a man o war or something? definitely looks nautical.. but i really have no clue.

ShowBizWolf · April 21, 2016, 10:16:01 PM

Is it food ? (Sorry, I'm hungry and it's reminding me of freeze-dried bananas like in trail mix LOL)

pliskin · April 22, 2016, 07:20:53 AM

Not a tentacle or dried food but it Greenweenie is on the right track. It is "nautical" in nature.

Some type of coral?

Ohhh good guess. I cheated just now to figure it out though. If no one gets it by tomorrow I'm putting what i found

Oh man, how did I miss that this game is still going?!
I thought it died out long ago.
Oh well.

Ok...those are Conch egg casings!
Mostly unhatched, by the look of them.

There's no way you knew that off the top. Are you some sort of sea wizard?
