#476: can opener
#477: I think it's a comb for flax or hemp fiber, used prior ro
spinning. The needles are too long and too coarse and the head is too
small for it to be for wool.

I sure hope it isn't for combing hair!!!

472 - Alignment block?

473 - Looks like the connection on an electric skillet

474 - Reaming tool for pipe?

475 - Bung tool for wooden casks

476 - Looks like a can opener but I'm not sure it is. The lower piece
appears to swivel?

477 - Flax breaker. Used like a wool card to break the flax into useable
fibers prior to carding.

According to R.H. :

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.

472) Hmm ... it looks like a variation on a magnetic parallel
for holding things higher than the surface of the magnetic chuck
on a surface grinder.

Most that I have seen had the aluminum (or brass or bronze) body
the full height of the magnetically soft (mild steel) pole
pieces. In any case, they transfer the magnetic poles of the
chuck to the higher level. (There are also V-blocks made
similarly.)

Others are alternating plates of brass and steel, riveted
together by brass rods.

I would guess that "J. BRACKEN" is the name of the person who
made this as part of his apprenticeship program.

473) contact pins and shell end of a fluorescent lamp tube.

474) I think that this is an internal remote grabber. It probably
has a spring loaded plunger which expands the fingers unless
the plunger is depressed from the other end, allowing it to be
inserted into the object being grabbed, or to release said
object.

475) A trepaning wood bit. The screw tip at the center pulls
it into the wood workpiece, and the outside legs cut a circular
groove until it falls through the workpiece. It is limited as
to how deep it will make a hole, simply because it does not have
the sharp edges between the center screw and the outer cutters
of a typical auger bit to shave wood out of the center of the
hole, so the cross-pieces will eventually hit and prevent any
farther progress.

However, the lack of those center cutters will reduce the amount
of torque which the operator will need to apply to the handles.

476) This looks like yet another variety of can opener.

477) A "card" for wool, perhaps? Designed to straighten out the
fibers prior to spining, and to make it easier to separate
from the dirt which comes with the sheep.

Now -- to see what others have guessed.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Five of the six have been identified:



472. One of a pair of magnetic parallels

473. The end of a fluorescent light

474. No correct answers yet, closest guess so far is pipe reamer

475. Boring tool for a barrel

476. Can opener, this one works differently than most, with the small
forked piece going on top of the rim and the blade cutting up from the side

477. Flax tool



Rob

well, it looks old and pitted with rust, so it looks like an OLD tool. i
can't tell if the ends of the wires have barbs on 'em. how about scraping
the built up crud off the tubes in a steam engine heat exchanger? (i don't
even know if the tubes in steam engine heat exchangers get cruddy, just a
wild guess.) maybe you can screw on extensions to make it longer for
engines like the "BIG BOY". :-)

oops. i meant "number 474..." and "...off the INSIDE of the tubes in a
steam engine...." did/do heat exchanger tubes in a steam engine get cruddy?
or i guess maybe even a stationary boiler.

i went to china in 1986 and they were still using steam engines there. it
was marvelous to ride through the terraced hills of china on a fire
breathing dragon. i WISH i had the presence of mind to have begged or
bribed a ride in the engine!!! one night i stayed in a hotel near a train
yard and it was wonderful to hear a steam engine starting up with a heavy
load ("CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF") then the drive wheels breaking loose
("chuffchuffchuffchuffchuff") and the engineer cutting the power and
starting up again ("CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF") was wonderful. like time travel.

Nope, not for steam engines. Also it wasn't made to have extensions added
to it.

i went to china in 1986 and they were still using steam engines there. it

breathing dragon. i WISH i had the presence of mind to have begged or

Sounds like fun.

I recently saw a report in TV. They still use steam locos and you can
drive them (at extra cost). There's a company (in Germany) offering such
travels. I bet you could find someone in the US too who will be happy to
send to to China as a coal monkey. ;-)

No, it's a wool comb, not a card. Used for aligning the wool fibers
for making worsted yarn (the smooth stuff) instead of woolen yarn
(the fuzzy stuff you're more used to). Cards do the woolen thing.

I found quite a few flax tools that look much like this one, do you know if
there is a difference between wool and flax combs?

According to William Wixon :

If that is for cleaning the bore of a gun, it must be a
smoothbore of some form, not a rifled bore. Either a smoothbore
muzzle-loader, or perhaps a shotgun.

It certainly does not seem correct for a rifled barrel.

Enjoy,
DoN.

No, it's clearly not a set of transfer punches, or gage pins - if it
were either of these, the pins wouldn't all be the same size.

I think the answer to this one has been given - it's a thing that
you set on top of the magnetic holding plate of a surface grinder.

Thanks,
