Your mysteries, Grant, seem to depend quite a bit on the blurring of your images. In this case, I presume if we could read the small print we could deduce what the machine is. All I can read is CBS and what appears to be Warning: hot hose. So I deduce it's Coventry Building Society's patent hose-heater. Am I right?

Used for fibre optic cable installation
Added by Ross on 31 May 2010
Its a machine for installing fibre optic cables, I think that it blows the cable along the conduit using compressed air.

could it be a mole ?
Added by Mark Vincent on 02 June 2010
could it be a cable blowing machine for fibre optic cables, perhaps?

Oh no it isn't, Grant. The Mystery Machine was Scooby-Doo's van!!

Looks a bit like a CBS Products Tornado Cable Blowing Machine to me

it is used in the installation of Fibre optic cables. Looks like the tornado model.

It ain't blurred Ian, its just that the small print gets smaller the older you get, and there isn't anything there to tell you what it is anyway. James is almost there with his rod pusher, it's actually a fibre optic cable blowing machine.
