I have been racking my brain for what those big iron washer thingies for reinforcing brick walls are called. It is a real pain to find source images for sculpting when you don’t know what the thing’s name is :p Searching for ‘big iron washer thingies’ didn’t really help.
So, in the name of future building-related baldness-prevention…
PATTRESS PLATES! They’re called Pattress Plates. Pattress Plates, you fool!
What a relief XD
The big S-shaped ones too?
I think those are called wall tie plates? Wall tie rods?
Always remember…… those S-shaped ties, the X-shaped ones, and the oversized dinner plates on that wonderful old wall…… they are holding the wall together fellas, without them, the place you are standing admiring em would be a pile of brick rubble! hehehe
I have the same problem sometimes with interior fixtures like specific types of moldings and panelings.
Now I can may down on my pattress and sweep!
Anchor plates for us colonials :P
