Monday Mystery, Adjustable pliers?

This is an interesting adjustment mechanism on a very big pair of (I guess we'll call them) pliers, though the jaws do seem to be for something specific. Ideas, anyone?


Thanks, Arthur!

Bugatti 49


W. Boddy, Continental Sports Cars,  G.T. Foulis, 1951

Obviously a serious racer, Mrs. Billie Clarke tackles a Prescott Speed Hillclimb in a Bugatti model 49. Year unknown...

 In my opinion, not the nicest styling of the lot...

Cambro Cyclecar

  This single seat runabout was produced by the Central Aircraft Co. of Kilburn North London after WW1.  I don't know how it could be of any simpler construction, featuring a 200 cc 2 stroke twin Johnson motorwheel for "power" and did not even have a reverse gear.

   It does not seem to have been a big seller.
