Looks like parts for a super sized Spirograph.

Mystery solved! Three of us can't be wrong .

 

[Steve Austin]

Genius. We can now collect our reward

 

[buggi]

i was gonna say spirograph too. it must be an industrial one.

 

[domtyler]

Could they be Tutankhamen's Spirograph perchance?

 

[Brock]

Spirograph my arse.. They're for serving dips.

 

[Keith Oates]

I can't see them being a spirograph, too big and cumbersome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yenrod]

The Spirograph doesnt go with me; something else maybe ?????

They are new crystal based gear wheels that won't rust for when Westminster tower is 6' under water which will enable Big Ben to go Bumph instead of Donggggg !
Hence it's a Government hush up to stop the plebs of Londoninium panicking.

If thats not right then they are parts of the mechanism to allow E.T. to phone home.

Don't worry - they can be chucked away...they were brought into the country in case King Abdullah fancied a bit of clay pidgeon shooting...

 

[bonj2]

probably cogs for a perpetual motion machine.
