Back in the Day

Oh let's say the 1600s, the inventions, improvements, creations and ever changing scientific instruments of Galileo's era sparked a keen interest in 'discovery' that continues to challenge advances in technology today.

As usual, the vowels have been left in place...your challenge is to use the correct consonants to rebuild these scientific instruments from Galileo's Day

Starting Consonant's Letter Pile:
B B B B C C C C C C
D D D F G G G H H J
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
M M M M M M N N N N N N
P P P P P P P P
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R
S S S S S S S S S S S S
T T T T T T T T T V V

Remaining Consonant's Letter Pile:



= 1. A---O-A-E
= 2. -A-O-E-E-
= 3. -O--A--
= 4. -E-E--IA- --O-E
= 5. -O-I-A-E
= 6. -U--E-- -E-E-
= 7. O--A--
= 8. O--E-Y
= 9. --O-O--IO-A- -O--A--
= 10. -Y-O-E-E-
= 11. -O--I-- -U-E
= 12. --I-E -U-E
= 13. A--I--A-Y ---E-E
= 14. -U--IA-
= 15. -E-E--O-E
= 16. --E--O--O-E
