[alberg30] Mystery Widget

[Robert Kirk]

From: Robert Kirk <kirk at neptune.gsfc.nasa.gov>

There's a  mystery widget on Isobar that came with the boat and I've never
been able to figure out what it's for.  maybe the wisdom of this group can
solve it for me.

It's a tubular piece of Bakelite or such about 3/8 OD with a 1/8 dia hole
running thru it. It's about four inches long with an enlargement to a 3/4
inch diameter  bobbin like apparatus at one end.  It's stored on a small
spring bracket above the ice box on the port side.  It looks as if it might
be a reducing coupler between the pieces of tubing, but what for? (It's too
big to plug in the icebox drain. My icebox has been rebuilt from the early
drop top configuration. This thing probably has nothing to do with the
icebox.)

Any ideas?  I'd be very embarrassed if it was a vital and common part of
the boat that everyone should know about.
