Quite good guess! It is the end of side supersonic whistle that could occur on 78 wax discs when the wax cooled and became harder. This could cause an uncontrolable [if small] high frequency oscilation in the cutting head stylus. It can be filtered out in transfer, without harm.
Twaddel? Could that be the pitch, or rate at which the groove mooves towards the middle of a disc on a cutting lathe?

OK a question - what is Twaddel or to me more precise - degrees of Twaddel??
Is it something to do with the strength of caustic soda, or something.

Degrees of twaddle refers to measurement of brine density.
However, degrees of Twaddel is something else.
Some examples:
'Jockey Wilson... what an athlete.'
'He's as cool as a prized marrow.'
'It's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline.'
'There's only one word for that - magic darts!'
My favourite:
'When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer.... Bristow's only 27.'
One hundred and eighty! Thank you, Sid Waddell.

Dear Rob!
Good enough! The answer I was looking for wan an early process for making second [and more] metal masters from the original wax disc for when the original master part was worn out!
I think we ought to change the name of this to just Quiz! If you see this Adam could you delete "Replay" from the Menu title! If ya feel like it that is and ya don't mind!

Maybe you should change it to CHAOS QUIZ.

Q. Staying on the theme of textile finishing, what is the precise origin of the word Stenter

Was the question: "who invented a sharp hobby knife and who discovered mesembriantemum?"?
Hi George, perhaps "tenuous but true?" could replace replay?

Dear Rob,
I thnk there was some sense in Chaos Quiz, but I think Chaos alone sums it up, but its making me smile! So I am not worried {:¬))-I-<
George
I have no idea idea about the second question by the first must have been that chap Sir Stanley Knife! First cousin of Mack the Knife was was not Jack the Ripper, but an unfortunatle namely Welsh knife grinder, but as they say still a bit of a black sheep! His brother was an organ grinder, but can I help it if castrated his monkey to get some organs to grind. I never knew that ground monkey's testicles were an aphrodisiac any how!

I am glad we are keeping you amused George. (The second question involves the latin name for something that Livingstone may have discovered - bit of a gardener in his spare time..)
I initially thought a Stenter was a specially trained surgeon who was trainer up to insert stents. However I would suggest it has something to do with stiffening garments rather than enhancing bodily conduits.
Q: Where would you find a Molgogger?

Why don't we call it the no answer quiz, or lets all ask a question at the same time quiz?
