I will not rest until I have remembered the word.I need to look at that well-known book 'Concerning Clogs' which I wrote in the 70s.

Never heard of that either, they were always know as a LAST, dad had one, lump of mallable iron shaped like a foot with a spike on it, driven into the end of an old mangle roller, he aslo had another one with three different size feet on it, that one had to be used on a bench.
