I need some help with the second item this week: Rob

"Rob H." fired this volley in news: 2745 is a portable spark coil or high-voltage generator -- for what purpose (lab? megging phone lines?) I don't know. The first one I ever made had the annealed iron wire core, as does that one. Tuning the contactor part for minimum current at a given voltage yielded the highest voltage output (basically just tuning the contactor frequency to match the resonant frequency of the coil). I don't see the capacitor required for best performance, but it could have been placed in the base, as the capacitors were often flat-plate designs that early. Lloyd

It does look like a card shuffling machine but this particular device is indeed a tie press, I had shopped off the name a tie company that was beneath the crown. No luck yet

2746, bird/foul hanger for butchering/aging The methodology of the left has always been: 1. Lie 2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible 3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible 4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie 5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw 6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

What is it? Set 472

2745 -- I'm almost certain that it is a battery charger for lead-acid or Edison cells. AC line in, rectification from vibrating contacts producing a pulsed DC. I've been trying to find a reference to cite, but so far haven't located.
