World Pancake Stack Record

That's a lot of pancakes! 672 of them, to be exact, and a pair of chefs at a Scottish hotel think the stack of pancakes may get them into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Sean McGinlay and Natalie King of Glasgow's Hilton Grosvenor hotel measured their pancake tower at 29.5 inches (75cm) - beating the current title by 0.4in.

The chefs mixed about 100 eggs, more than 17 pints of milk, 11lbs of flour and 6.6lbs of butter for the challenge, a hotel spokeswoman said.

The hotel's general manager Stuart Nelson said: 'It was a bit shaky towards the end but somehow we managed to pull it off.

The current pancake stack record is 29.1 inches, set by a Slovenian team last year. Link -via J-Walk Blog

Really?
I think it's a concave surface on the top to fit on the eye, with the extension on the back to partially block the eyelids from closing and to fit the light. With this mechanism you'll maybe be able to keep your victim from sleeping (due to the intense light) and ultimately dry out the eyes leading to permanent damage of the eyes.

see? that wasn't so hard.

it looks like one of them special lightbulbs you see in discos. when they light up the shape of the glass disperses the light properly and evenly.

An optical condenser/magnifier. The diameter is almost the same as the diagonal of a 35mm negative or slide so i'll guess it is used to transfer light from a lamp to the film.

A voble resonator, used to communicate with the deceased by mystics. Unlike other gimmicks, this one actually works. The unfortunate truth is, the dead say very little that is of use to the living.

"Uncle Benjamin, where did you bury the money?"

'oooo-ooooo, I'mmmmm deeeead, ooooo'

"Its me your nephew Charley, where is the money uncle Benjamin?

'ooooooooo, its daaaaaark heeere, oooooooo'

And so on.

ok, what it looks like to me is a light magnifier.

i saw something like it only a pyramid shaped one. below deck on old ships it was dark. and this may be one of those things that worked like a mini sky light. you put the narrow end above to catch the light and the wide end to disperse it below.

Much as chris stated above, it is a condenser, but what he neglected to mention is that its more important purpose is to even out a field of light, dispersing any hotspots or dark areas that may result from imperfections in the light bulb, reflector, or lensing system.

(1050 is a lug used to connect wires to buss bars in a breaker panel)

I think "Bobby the K" has identified it, except he has it the wrong side up. The big end should go up and the small end down, to bring light below deck on an old wood ship.
