Last time was very tricky but our all-time champ, Michael Arwe, gets honorable mention for figuring out what it was (with a hint from yours truly). See last week’s to refresh your memory.

Arwe emailed, “I did the Main Street bridge, the Waterfield Road bridge, the Mt. Vernon Street bridge, the bridge to Sandy’s Island, the Shore Road bridge, the commuter rail bridge at the circle, and then...I saw the fluted concrete column I had spent days looking for: on the corner of the Get In Shape For Women shop.”

He even looked up the instrument, “The Avongard Plus Tell-Tale is a precision gauge, consisting of two plates which overlap for a part of their length. The bottom plate is calibrated in millimetres and the top plate is transparent and marked with a hairline cursor in the form of a cross.

“The Plus Tell-Tale allows monitoring of horizontal movement of +/- 25mm and vertical movement of +/- 10mm. It also features spigots for use with calipers for precision measurement to 0.1mm.”
