Featured Got some tools, hardware, and a flying saucer

Probably just a headache...you'll be okay unless you start doing this...

 

Trying to ID all the stuff in that box-

This is a “cable reel jack.” Used in pairs. Ms. Spring saw the model number etc in the pic and found the ID using Google.




This is a roller for a conveyor belt. Grid squares are 1 cm/side. Glad I looked it up, I was ready to use them under the 4 corners of a big pallet to make another “pallet dolly” but I doubt they would have worked out well, their not having been designed for that.

 

This is what I call a split double sprocket with sawtooth profile. It can’t be “driven” since the inside is smooth, so it can only be an idler. Usually a chain runs on a sprocket (think bicycle.) I asked on the machinist forum “ what kind of chain runs on this sprocket?” They aren’t yet in agreement on that question. Most chain sprockets have a roughly-parabolic tooth profile, unlike this one with V-shaped teeth. These sprockets are made as two halves that are held together with two socket-head capscrews. The two-piece construction allows them to be installed on a shaft where neither end is accessible. The two halves were stamped with matching numbers when made so the assembler won’t get them mixed up; there may be some slight differences in dimensions from one pair of halves to another and you wouldn’t want to risk something bad happening after installation in the end product. Those “match numbers” tell me that these sprockets were made on non-CNC machinery, because if made on any modern CNC machinery, each piece would be so identical to all others made on that shift that all would be interchangeable, and the numbers shouldn’t be needed unless called out in the drawing.

 

These are ordinary ring-gauges, yes, same as a jeweler uses to measure rings. One container in the crate was full of 10 or more different brands and styles of these ring gauges.

 

Terri Garr...................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Yes indeedy, she was even, well let’s say, more so, in “Young Frankenstein.” She had some great lines in that one: “You vant to rrrrol in de hay?”

 

Yes fabulous!
I'm so very sorry she is not well.

I recall seeing her, in an early photo, in a baby blue '57 Chevy convertible.
