I need some help with the third and fifth items this week:
Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2713) This looks to me to be a device for sprinkling sand, ashes
or salt on an ice covered roadway. The sled runners on the
front, and the horse-drawn image of a larger version in the
background.
I'm not sure whether there is some linkage from the wheels to t
he shaker in the long box, or whether someone was expected to
ride on the platform over the wheels, and turn the disc in the
center of the box.
2714) I think that this is also ice related. Either as a
traction item when moved parallel to the crossbar, or to mark
cut lines on a frozen pond prior to sawing and harvesting the
ice. It was stored in sheds packed with sawdust as insulation.
2715) A tool to mark a line down the center of a plank, (or at some
other offset depending on the setting of the guides.
2716) Frankly, this looks like some insulated solid copper wire,
typical of house wiring. The black plastic is insulation,
probably a PVC (Poly-Vinyl-Chloride).
Someone wound it around a rod, slid it off, partially unwound
the center, and formed the ends into loops -- probably just for
the fun of it, not for any functional reason.
A close look at one of the ends (if it is not too tucked against
the side) should show the color of copper in the middle.
2717) The pair of O-rings around each suggest that it is to be a snug
fit in some form of cylinder. The slightly larger end plate
limits how far in it can go, and the threaded shaft in the
handle probably compresses the length to expand the O-rings to
grip the cylinder -- therefore to be used to pull it out.
Perhaps for removing wet liners in some older internal
combustion engine styles, such as the one in the Triumph TR-3
(which I believe used the engine originally for the Ferguson
tractor.)
2718) Hmm ... military, given the color.
Rotates as the carriage slides on the clamp sleeve.
Perhaps for throwing a coiled line and weight across a gap to
start building a bridge of some sort?
Perhaps to launch some kind of grenade or other explosive
device.
I think that it is designed to be powered by a rifle, and clamps
to the barrel of it.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
2716 I have a vague feeling that I've seen things like this used as a
twist-tie to bundle or group wires. From the size, something like this
could be used to bundle telephone cables on utility poles.
After a little more memory exercise, this might be a tangent cable
support. When something like a phone or power cable passes by a utility
pole and must be held up, the center of something like this is fastened
to the utility pole and each end coiled around the cable.
2717: Well, red can mean hydrogen and yellow chlorine. Patent #4070861
was for a reactor using hydrogen and chlorine for propulsion or
electrical generation. Oxygen, perhaps air, was added to control the
reaction.
snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com fired this volley in news:49de85e5-7d51-4cb2-b461-
snipped-for-privacy@googlegroups.com:
looks more to me like something to abrasively bore the spooge out of a
cooling gallery or a valve lifter hole between two cylinders of an engine.

Grenade launcher is correct, these are fairly common now but the ones in the
photo were experimental models.
Still not 100% sure about the two mystery items but the rest of the answers
have been posted here:
