Not necessarily!

Just think how many views your headstone would get if it said "He loved cogs"!

Re: London's Portobello Road

Went back to that Portobello shop this morning ... the boss says it's for testing the tension of wool.

I'll post another pic later, also in the same shop, a Steampunk flamethrower.

Nothing to do with testing tension, the explanation can be found here

"This antique hank winder was used for testing yarn supplies. A hank of yarn was randomly selected from a delivery and wound onto the winder. The bell rang when a set length of yarn had been wound. The weight per length was then calculated to check the yarn was of the right quality."
