1025: Spoke wrench, probably for an automobile wheel, seems too large

It is indeed! I have one in my tool box. I trued, and laced quite a few
motorcycle wheels with it.

VORTAC installation. VHF Omni-Ranging. Provides a radio navigation aid
to pilots. Have one a few miles from my place.

I forget what the TAC stands for now.

#1029 appears to be a cable / wire pulling grip. Probably an old style
as the "Chinese finger" style woven wire grips are most prevalent these
days.

According to R.H. :

O.K. As usual, posting from rec.crafts.metalworking.

1025) Hmm ... what's the material here? It sort of looks like
Bakelite or some other early fairly rigid plastic.

If that is the material, I think that it is a gauge for
measuring something like perhaps wire sizes. I see that odd
sizes are on one end and even sizes on the other. And like wire
sizes, the larger the number, the smaller the size.

Presumably, the key part of the maker's name (preceding
"PRODUCTS" on the handle) has been blurred out by Photoshop or
the like.

It *almost* looks like a wrench, but the final size slot is not
deep enough, and the thickness is a bit too great to be
reasonable for one made of steel.

1026) This looks like a VOR (VHF Omni-Range) aircraft navigation aid,
and I have seen them (as a kid) in a ranch surrounded by cattle.
Perhaps even a VORTAC (add TACAN to the mix), which I think came
out after the time I visited the site as a kid.

1027) A plane for squaring the meeting point of two sides at about 90
degrees. (There is an adjustment for dealing with small
mismatches.)

1028) Orrey? (Not sure that I have the spelling right, and my
spelling checker does not know that word. :-)

1029) Do you mean a 3/4" long screw into the block from each end of
the hole, since it appears to me that there are actually four
holes, but both ends of each are visible in the surface. (Plus
another four holes in the bottom which was not mentioned.)

At a guess, it is some kind of counterbalance weight which can be
tuned by removing screws and replacing them with shorter or
longer ones -- or even trapping lead shot between the ends of
two screws coming into the same hole from both ends.

1030) Some form of wheel-lock pistol -- in which the disk rotating
runs hardened steel past flint to make sparks to light off the
powder?

Or maybe some form of shot or powder dispenser. I think that it
is firearms related in any case.

Now to see what others think.

Enjoy,
DoN.

It's metal, several people got the answer - motorcycle spoke wrench.

Pete got this one right, it's a cable grip for pulling cable through
conduit. Each of the bottom holes are connected to two holes on the side,
so the cable goes in the bottom and the screws are then tightened to secure
it.

Strangely enough, this plane is designed to create a trough lengthwise
in a piece of stock with a semicircular profile.

Stanley #57. See more he http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan8.htm

Note the first description line of the #56 :-)

Interesting -- and following your web site link I see how it is
used.

I like a lot of that fellow's writing. He has his tongue nicely
in cheek. :-)

1025: Spoke wrench. The steps allow it to fit several different sizes.

1028: Orrery, named after Lord Orrery, who owned the first one.

1030: Repeating muff pistol, or palm pistol.

1030 is a "Chicago Firearms Company "Protector", commonly called a
"palm pistol". With approximately 70% original finish and in good
mechanical condition it wold be worth between 2500 and 3000 dollars.

They've all been answered correctly this week, though I'm still not sure if
the navigation station is a VOR or VORTAC type, I'm going with VOR for now.
More details on the rest can be seen he

The link for the core box plane is the same one posted by Scott in this
thread.
