more what the heck are these things

They look like hold down clamps for machining or stamping

The cylinders in the packages look like the pins used to lock gorilla rack corners together. Make solid sets of racks. They go in the unused slots in the vertical angle pieces.

Don't know about the other stuff.

The square parts look like some sort of hold-down clamp.

The aircraft fuses maybe for use in instrument panels? I've taken apart a couple of old instrument panels, and while I don't recall seeing anything like that, I did see a lot of weird and unusual components I haven't found anywhere else.

well, the cylinders are in a package that says they are 2 amp fuses -- but I haven't seen fuses without covers before - at least not this form factor, hence the inquiry

"William Noble" held forth in news:477c740d$0$25995$ snipped-for-privacy@free.teranews.com:

Not including the fuse looking parts, the others look like the tools we use for cutting rubber conveyor belting and attaching a splice in said belting. The splice would look a lot like a zipper. Ours is part of a kit depending on the width of the belt. It has a piece 36 inches long everything is lined up on for a straight edge and to bring it all together.

Hope this helps, Harry

well, that could be, but I don't think so - the things with the screws in them are stainless steel, and there are a lot of them with the pins in different combinations of holes - it's like they are part of some giant timer or sequencer maybe - I guess I could post more photos but so far no one has said they are unclear - and I still don't havea clue -

on the tool for splicing conveyor belts - are all the thingies the same? and what size are they? these are 1/2 inch wide, and the slot with the screw is .065, and the pins are .095 diameter
