National Park Mystery Photo 48: A Thingie That’s Part of a Set

By Bob Janiskee - April 12th, 2012

 Vot da hell is dis?!

 Mystery Photo 48 was taken in a national park. If you can tell us what this thing is and name the national park in which it is located, you will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

No Cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

Arguing that batting average is a very inefficient measure of a batter’s skill, sabermetricians prefer to gauge a batter's ability by on-base percentage (hits plus walks plus hit by pitches divided by at bats plus walks plus hit by pitches plus sacrifice flies, but not sacrifice bunts), slugging percentage (total bases -- one per single, two per double, three per triple, and four per home run – divided by at bats), and more recently, derivatives such as on-base slugging percentage (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage).

Shucky darn?!

You're probably going to stump me on this one, Quizmeister!  But it looks like part of some kind of gear, with some circular wearing inside the notches, so I will wildly guess it's part of a water-driven wheel and shaft at Saugus Iron Works NHS.  If I'm wrong, shucky darn!

Sorry, celbert, that's not a gear, and it has nothing to do with Saugus Iron Works NHS.  Keep working on it, though, and you may eventually see the light.

Part of a display of historic lighthouse equipment at Cape Lookout National Seashore?

No, 'fraid it's not historic lighthouse equipment, but I kinda like your thinking!

Death Valley National Park? Borax mining equipment?
