As the first two objects seem to be no longer in use I guess the treacle mines ran out of commercial treacle deposits at some stage. I wonder if they were removed at Sugarwell in Meanwood. I think we should all eat more treacle to get them working again!

Ah yes the Orgasmatron in the very funny Sleeper. Mind you, for some reason ( ) I better recall that in Barbarella though I've now found that was actually called the 'Excessive Machine' but is often referred to as an Orgasmatron.

I think Rowland Emmet of Featherstone Kite fame would have made a fine orgasmatron, but I best not elaborate on the spinning feather dusters e.t.c. The mind does boggle though ha ha
