    Hello BORSCCLAUS!


     


    An aglet (or aiglet) is a small plastic or metal sheath typically used on each end of a shoelace, cord, or drawstring. An aglet keeps the fibers of the lace or cord from unraveling; its firmness and narrow profile make it easier to hold and easier to feed through the eyelets, lugs, or other lacing guides.

    Wow-- This is one of my oldest trivia questions..  I have popped this one out for years, nobody knows the answer to this.    Google has taken the fun out of honest trivia today.

    Now the world is at our fingertips. It's a sad sad situation :).

    However, if one studies fashion design or has aspirations on becoming a seamstress, they will know this answer.

    No... don't say that! Think of them as 'Calculators with Flair'!
    (Oh my goodness! I am getting on in age!)

    My father worked in a University when I was growing up. He worked with computers and was involved in Cancer Research. The computers where gigantic and made loads of noise. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have an iPhone with the world at my fingertips...... Go figure! Spinny chairs with wheels were so much fun back then and the corridors of a University research building are very very long.
