Underwater Kite
Very cool absolutely useless kite-like thing consisting of a central 19" dia disc and (2) 9 ft. "tails" one emerging from each side of the central disc. The disc is actually a metal hoop. It is covered with a very light, strong non-woven fibrous material that is translucent and extremely porous, allowing water to pass right through it. The tails are made of this same material. We have been told it is some kind of drogue for a chute used with a depth charge. We are also told it was used under water. We surmise it is an underwater drogue used to deploy a detector antenna. But it may just be a toy for Merkids. We think you will find it amusing, and may wish to chop it up and use the cool fabric in your own construction. White or olive drab, our choice.

Memory Aid
Half way to the cabin for the weekend you fill with fear that you left the coffee pot on. Do you return? Call the neighbor with the spare key to check? Or hope and pray your mind is just acting up? Avoid the anguish over any 120 VAC device that runs on up to 10 amps. For such is the switching capacity of this automatic shut-off timer from a coffee maker. It can be programmed to turn on at any time of day within a single 24 hour cycle, and will automatically shut off (2) hours after turning on. Red LED's show on and the time programmed. We include a spec sheet with programming and hook up directions. 2-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 1-1/2" deep with a white plastic face.
