The rest room is down the hallway, sir.
I suspect that many of you would have guessed what the item was... if the underside of it was shown.

This is a fog nozzle that firemen would use on their hoses... back around 1849. I would imagine that the man holding the hose would get at least as soaked as whatever fire he was attempting to extinguish.
And.... please remember to "keep back 500 feet" from any fire apparatus on the road.
+1I'm confused as to how this thing works ... which end does the water come out of?
And even though I can't see the bottom, I don't know how it would attach to the hose?
Don't fire hoses have a grooved attachment that locks down with a half-turn, instead of regular spiral threads?
