name that vice

[xy mosian]

Why were the hillside towns to the north-west of Bradford such a centre of vice inventing.......

Bradford, and the area, has always been known for some good vices.

Mmmm ...... I remember staying in a hotel just off Lumb Lane in 1976. We went up for a friend's wedding. Quite an eye opener for a lad from the backwaters of Cornwall.

Ay! When I was a youngster, not long arrived in Bratfud I drove home on evening along Lumb lane, as a short cut you understand. I had a puncture and I recon I beat any F1 crew changing that wheel.
Strangely there used to be quite a lot of student accomodation in the area.

Bought this at a car boot sale today £12.00 works on a cam not a thread, its quick release just push it to the work piece and push the handle down and it tightens and locks. No makers name.

It looks like a Steelrack made by Entwistle and Kenyon, I have one , excellent

I'm sure the OP would have liked to have known, had he not 1/ been banned and 2/ died five years ago.

Name that vice?
"Pillage" is something the Vikings used to get up to, amongst other things.
What does it mean and has anybody tried it?

Yeah - I've tried one of those Entwhistle & Kenyon vices - great - but the earlier (patented 1877 a few days before the E&K) Syers doesn't have a separate rack cam to get lost, so I went with that - been installed and used on my bench for the last 8 years-- even greater vice.

So I tried and named both but didn't pillage either and not a viking to be seen-- is that what you mean Jacob?
