I saw that post and it sort of made sense to me. Put the handle in the hole, stands upright. Another person comes along, rotates the torch to an angle and puts the handle of their torch in another hole to balance the weight of the two torches. Same with a third of needed, I think it could work if the device is big enough.
yeah that still doesn't make sense to me, the only way i see it working is if you have a single torch placed in a face so it's all upwards.
and why would you design something so strange to hold torches? imagine coming to someone's house and their light switches are pipe valves in a closet you have to turn to dim the lights throughout the house, wack
if you want to hold multiple torches you can just have multiple sconces
Your light switch situation sounds like someone jury rigged their own Victorian gas light system with the controls in the cabinet next to the gas line for the stove.
Sounds very safe and an easy hobby project to teach both plumbing and explosive fire extinguishing
