Mr Lait’s Time-Viewing Monoggle

Mr Jonathon Nightingale Lait's Time-Viewing Steampunk Monoggle

What a marvellous contraption!  Mr Jonathan Nightingale Lait on the Steampunk forum was kind enough to show us some very well taken photographs of his latest creation – a monoggle that allows seeing into either the future or the past.  As one might imagine, this is very handy in the workshop when wondering where you last put a particular item, or how the next project might pan out.

There’s even talk that he might post some details on the construction of the piece at some point soon – which I very much look forward to.  Mr Hildebrandt believes it may be the long-lost Chronovisor – this is of course impossible, as the chronovisor was designed only to view the past.  *chuckles*  A lovely item, and surprisingly good photography to match!  Well done, Mr Lait.

    I do not right out disagree with the spelling of this fine contrapticon, but, as I am wont to brandish an eyepatch, a double-sighted goggle would be half again too much. While I do respect "monoggle" as a singular goggle, I feel there's something vulgar and pedestrian about it. I prefer, to raise up from the monocle, and the one I sport during Experiments, I refer to as my "monogle".

    No rules to follow, except perhaps the ones of nature. I wouldn't make a direct copy, but I would nab his more ingenious ideas.
  • This is some fine workmanship! The only thing I am surprised wasn't included was some play on words with the naming of the device. Chrono, Mono etc.

    A most dashing contraption!

    Blast! If I only had a workshop and tools! Alas, I have only the 3 wrenches it takes to repair the boiler.

    Just. . . make. . . one. There are no rules. You are all making this up as you go along.

    If there are details provided on how to make one... One will most certainly be adorning my workshop in a matter of hours.
