I thought it might appeal!  It's my sister's. 

Guess again Andy.  If it helps, it is in her kitchen.

The central spindle twists.  The thing on the left is a blade which swings down and in.  The other bit pushes the object in question from left to right (I think).

I know, but with the remedial class it is all about rewarding effort...  tongue

Seriously though, don't you just love that someone could think, "hmm, peeling an apple...  What I need for that is a mechanised anvil with a chain utilised somehow..."?

She is a part time ninja.  If you throw an apple at her, she can peel it with the billhook before it hits the ground.
