Is that a Super Adept Man uniform the jack in the box is wearing?

It may have been easier to ask what's not in the box, David is on the right track as I doe believe there is a 150mm rule in there somewhere.

As for the other comments I can't possibly let on what Neil and Ketan dress like in their spare time

I don't have a telescope so would not need any bits for it. George is on the right track but not right.

Hmm. I suspect it's a bit more exciting than what's in my box today.

That's what £80 worth of loominum offcuts look like (scrap price). And if the domestic manager finds out, that's probably what I will get for my birthday present next week – as a suppository. The big ones are about 120mm dia, so 24kg in all.

Calling the image "arc crate.jpg" might be a hint? The box looks like the one my son's X2.7L came in, so I will guess a milling machine. Hopefully yours doesn't have to go upstairs…

Another guess along the right lines but have already said there is not a SX2.7L in the box

Do they still make new shapers ADY1?

I bet it's that rusty S7 off the top of that narrow boat. Maybe the chainsaw is thrown in for good measure

To put you out of your misery, this is what it says on the side of the crate.

It would seem that ARC Eurotrade are doing their bit for the enviroment and not using polystyrene packaging which just goes to landfill, instead they have taken to packing around the machines with bits of tooling, etc.

Looks a bit like someone did a supermarket sweep of the ARC warehouse and as you can see there is a 150mm rule in there so one right answer.

Just need to work out what all these bits do and how to use them
