Summary
Hosepipe. A length of 20mm diameter reinforced rubber pressure hose with a coiled steel external protection. One end has a copper nozzle with an external collar and is attached to the pipe by two jubilee clips. The other end is the plain hose. It was probably used for boiler wash-out on a railway locomotive.
