Well done everyone! Perhaps those of us who are still struggling for that elusive electric drill answer could jot down any thoughts - and then it might spark an idea with someone else.
To state the obvious - it must be mid to late20th century or even 21st to have an electric drill.
Why would anyone need a drill? -perhaps ice? behind panelling?
Any more thoughts out there?

YES ! I have the electric drill answer
So don't worry - I'll give you all a few clues in the next couple of days before I reveal all by Friday - lots of time to send it in. Just to make the fun last a little longer

Well done you'all.
I'm still a tad worried about Quarrels 4 as I wonder about the 'thrashing'.
I'd just like to say this has been really good fun. I've always done these on my own before but I look forward to helping out next year.
I don't send in an answer by the way, the last thing I need is 10,000 more books.

Mr Tulliver has a stroke whilst riding home on horseback when he reads a letter from his lawyer indicating that his securities had been transferred to Wakem (another Lawyer).
