Just taped over the screen. Works wonderfully.

SEE! That's proof that you don't need some ultra macro of a 1954 steam iron for the "Identify the mystery object" thread.

I'll bite. What's that?

I had hoped that one of the specialists in machinery would recognize what this is.
It was lying in the grass next to some heavy machines involved in digging up the ground to lay free the pipes and drains of a building housing the laundrette of the psychiatric hospital. I was fascinated by the colours but could make no sense of its use.

I was thinking upside down manhole covers. They look like cast iron to me.
