Westminster Cathedral (or the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
In the neo-Byzantine style. Opened in 1903. The interior mosaics unfinished (as you can see in this photo!)
The Lady Chapel
The rich decoration of the chapel gives a glimpse of what the completed Cathedral will be. Here, on the Feast of St Joseph in 1903, the first Mass was said in Westminster Cathedral.
Above the altar is an image of the Virgin and the child Jesus. In the centre is the Tree of Life (the Cross) symbolising not death but eternal life. From it gush fountains of living water, and its branches produce vines, the refuge for birds and other living creatures.
To the left of the Tree stands Mary, portrayed as Patroness of London, in front of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Next to her is Gabriel, archangel of the Annunciation, and a group of saints renowned for their devotion to the Virgin Mary. To the right of the Tree is St Peter, Patron of Westminster, in front of Westminster Cathedral. Beside him is the archangel Michael, and a medallion of King David.
The domed vault is marked with a wreath, containing portraits of the first four Cardinals of Westminster. Above these scenes, angels hold a garland, representing the Rosary. The tops of the window recesses bear portraits of early women martyrs: St Lucy, St Agatha, St Justine, St Cecilia and St Catherine. In the four alcoves set into the marble are represented four prophets who foretold the coming of the Messiah: Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah.
The arch at the entrance to the chapel has a Latin inscription recalling the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady: Tota pulchra es, Maria, et macula originalis non est in te (Thou art all fair, O Mary, and the original stain of sin is not in thee).

Westminster Cathedral (or the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
The site was originally marshland (Bulinga Fen), then a pleasure garden with a bull-baiting ring, a prison holding Scots during the Civil War, and Middlesex County Prison - upon whose foundations the cathedral (architect: John Francis Bentley) was built.
Opened in 1903, the interior mosaics still aren't finished.
In the neo-Byzantine style. Mistaken for a mosque by Ukip.
(Wikipedia & londonist.com)
"The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, on the north side of the sanctuary, and the Lady Chapel on the south, are entered from the transepts; they are 6.7 m (22 ft) wide, lofty, with open arcades, barrel vaulting, and apsidal ends. Over the altar of the Blessed Sacrament chapel a small baldacchino is suspended from the vault, and the chapel is enclosed with bronze grilles and gates through which people may enter. ...
"From 1960 to 1962 the Blessed Sacrament Chapel was decorated in a traditional, early Christian, style with the mosaics being predominantly pale pink in order to afford a sense of light and space. The designer, Boris Anrep, chose various Eucharistic themes such as the sacrifice of Abel, the hospitality of Abraham and the gathering of the manna in the wilderness as well as the Feeding the multitude and the Wedding Feast at Cana."

(used the Autoknips V (wish I'd had that with me in Santiago!);
pressed against bars - but these not rigid ... "QHW".

Not in Spain any more - though you might not have thought I'd moved north (and was still in a Catholic cathedral)!

The Vaughan Chantry (Chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury):
"The small Chapel dedicated to St Thomas in the north transept and wholly enclosed by grilles of gilt bronze, is Cardinal's Vaughan's Chantry. Within its gates, the monument to Cardinal Vaughan bears the inscription: Pray for the soul of Herbert Vaughan Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church, third Archbishop of Westminster and founder of this Cathedral, born 15 April 1832, died 19 June, 1903.
The memorial to Cardinal Vaughan was designed by J A Marshall and carved by Henry McCarthy, a sculptor who had worked for Bentley, the architect of the Cathedral, for many years. It is hewn from pure white Pentelic and the Cardinal faces the altar, his head resting on a pair of tasselled cushions. Clad in lace rochet and the characteristic skull-cap of prelates, the body is more slender than this imposing figure had been in life."

(Autoknips V) (filthy lens - didn't I notice?)
Westminster Cathedral (or the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
In the neo-Byzantine style. Opened in 1903, the interior mosaics still aren't finished.
Chapel of St Paul
St Paul, together with St Peter, founded the Church at Rome. ...
He was a tent-maker, and the ceiling of the chapel is decorated to represent a tent. On the back wall is portrayed the story of his conversion. Travelling from Jerusalem (on the right) to Damascus (on the left), Paul is blinded by a great light, and is addressed by the Risen Christ. Beneath the scene the Latin inscription records Christ's words: "Get up, and go into the city, and you will be told what to do" (Acts 9:6).
On the right hand on the chapel Paul is shown shipwrecked off Malta (in Latin, MELITA). The mosaic over the arch opposite represents the riddle of Samson (Judges 14:14): bees around the head of a lion represent sweetness coming forth from strength (in Latin DE FORTI EGRESSA EST DULCEDO) - a reference to Paul's good works follows his former bitterness towards Christianity. Also depicted is a basket with ropes attached, recalling Paul's escape from Damascus when he was lowered over the wall in a basket (Acts 9:25)
Over the altar, Paul is shown with his traditional sword - a symbol both of his eloquence in preaching the Word of God, and of his death. The grey marble on the walls comes from near Athens, where Paul himself preached (Acts 17:15). Above, Christ is depicted with St Peter and St Paul, and the Latin inscription translates "The Lord gives us the Law".
The floor of the chapel is in the style of the Cosmati brothers, who worked in Italy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It recalls the magnificent Cosmati pavement of Westminster Abbey.

The "Autoknips II" self timer for ye olde film cameras that don't have one built in. Pictured here with the original instruction sheet which is starting to show its age.....
These are very simple clockwork devices that clip to the end of a shutter-release cable to fire the shutter after a pre-set time has elapsed. This one has a maximum delay of about 12 seconds.
According to my good friend The Internet, these were also pressed into use by the Germans during World War II as delayed triggering devices for booby traps.

Self-portrait taken with a mini speed graphic with a "23" Graphic 120 film back. The exposure was made using an Autoknips II mechanical delay timer to trip the shutter.
I prefocused at 8' using a heavy string and knot. After tripping the timer, I stepped back the 8 feet with the knot at the corner of an eye, let it go, and waited for the shutter to be released.

This will be a useful accessory for whatever "it" is that I've purchased. I have given quite a lot away here, it's really difficult to not come up with ideas that are either too hard or too easy!
This is a Autoknips self timer and release cable, that belonged to my grandfather. This is pretty much all we seem to have left of his old camera gear, most of which seems to have disappeared. Irritatingly I can only assume that at some point most of it was thrown out by someone who will remain nameless (and it wasn't me btw)
so now you have Clue 1, and Clue 2. any ideas?
*EDIT* clue 1, clue 2, clue 3, clue 4.
Lightroom: crop, auto levels, brightness and contrast, sharpen, tiny vignette, save to JPG.

Instructions for use of Haka-Autoknips Model I. Wind up clockwork with Winding lever until it stops, and arrest with small lever on side. Suspend Autoknips from cable-release and set the shutter.
Put clockwork into action by pushing small lever on side backwards and join the group. Please note position of red disc when exposure is taking place. Immediately after exposure is made, arrest clockwork so that the shutter will not be under pressure for longer than necessary.
Wind clockwork again. By so doing, it is easier to remove the Autoknips from cable-release.
Should Autoknips release the shutter too early so that there is not time enough to join the group, pinch off a millimetre from inside cable with a pair of sharp tweezers, whereafter Autoknips will release the shutter 3 to 4 seconds later.
When I took the test shots on my patio using the mini speed graphic with autoknips II timer, I recorded each shots "exif". This is the first test shot I took of me. You can see my pen and notepad on the patio table. This was taken on Ilford HP5 Plus 400 iso at f5.6 and 1/50th.
Trying to take a 'selfie' with my Kodak Vigilant. Unfortunately, my autoknips mechanical timer at the end of a cable release didn't travel far enough to trigger the shutter. So, I bribed my neighbor with a beer to come over and push the shutter button for me. 😊
I added a black border in post for this one.

Haka, Autoknips model I, wyprodukowany prawdopodobnie w 1924 roku przez Heinricha Klapporta, niemieckiego fabrykanta sprzętu fotograficznego z Hamburga.
Autoknips to mechaniczny samowyzwalacz z precyzyjnym mechanizmem opóźniającym wyzwolenie migawki.
Żeby skorzystać z takiego samowyzwalacza, należy podciągnąć do góry dźwignię i ją zablokować, założyć wężyk spustowy, i po zwolnieniu blokady dźwignia ściska spust wężyka, po około 15 sekundach migawka jest wyzwalana.
Haka, Autoknips model I, probably produced in 1924 by Heinrich Klapport, a German manufacturer of photographic equipment from Hamburg.
Autoknips is a mechanical self-timer with a precise shutter-release delay mechanism.
To use the self-timer, pull the lever up and lock it, attach the cable release, and after releasing the lock, the lever squeezes the cable release, after about 15 seconds the shutter is released.
