Here is a repost of a wotsit I posted back in November 2001

   _   _
  ( \_/ )
 __)o_o(__
(__o(_)o__)
   )o_o(
  (_/ \_)

No longer a wotsit - I now see that it's gears.

Without the bolts :

    _   _
   ( \_/ )
  __) _ (__
 (__ (_) __)
    ) _ (
   (_/ \_)


More variations :

         _   _
        ( \_/ )
       __)   (__
      (__  O  __)
         )   (
        (_/ \_)
   _   _       _   _
  ( \_/ )     ( \_/ )
 __).-.(__   __).-.(__
(__(   )__) (__( O )__)
   )`-'(       )`-'(
  (_/ \_)     (_/ \_)

They fit together nicely :
                                _   _
                               ( \_/ )
                  _   _       __) _ (__
          _   _  ( \_/ )  _  (__ (_) __)
         ( \_/ )__) _ (__( \_/ )) _ (
        __) _ ((__ (_) __)) _ ((_/ \_)
       (__ (_) __)) _ ((__ (_) __)
          ) _ (  (_/ \_)  ) _ (
         (_/ \_)         (_/ \_)
