Was this used as part of the "omni" navigation network in use back in
the '60's?

Agreed an old coke dispenser The bottles were in the cylinder which
rotates up to drop a bottle after you pressed the lever, after you put
your nickel in.
Looks like it belongs in a large turret type gun.
2999 looks like a removeable handle for a pot pull the item to lock it
on temporarily until released.
Or looks like there might be a point on that handle, which might be for
old oil cans... (can't get photobucke to respond, it just spins so can't
see the enlarged image)
2997 Either from an airplane the electronics antenna or from a boat as
a outrigger with balast (doubtful but still might be).

It is the direction finding antenna from an ARN -6 low frequency ADF
system. I worked on many of them.

The nav unit was the ARN 14 for the vhf vor system. The military
system was the Tacan system also included in most navigation ground
stations. This system gave distance as well as bearing information.
The vor system also had a Distance Measuring Equipment DME which for
civilian use gave the distance to the station from the aircraft.
The ARN 6 was a low frequency direction finding unit. It would home in
on any radio broadcast signal. The antenna had a goniometer which was
a rotation ferite antenna and a long wire sense antenna. the goniometer
was servoed with information from the two detected signals. The ferite
antenna would seek a null signal and the indicator in the panel would
indicate the direction of the station.

Yeah... but THAT one was clearly a Coke machine.
In my errant youth (at age 14), I rescued from the dump a larger version
of that same machine that would serve up something like 60-70 (IIRC)
bottles of the 6-1/2oz or 7oz bottles. It even had a refrigerated water
fountain on the side.
It used a ratchet mechanism to drive a delivery drum a small fraction of
a rotation. The bottles were in staggered lines radiating from the
center of the drum, such that one bottle would come into alignment with a
multi-hole 'dispensing gate', arranged so that only the one bottle that
was perfectly aligned could be extracted from the hole. The others were
visible in the gate, but wouldn't come out. You could NOT purposely jam
the machine by partially extracting a 'trapped' bottle and not pushing it
back in, because the only bottle that would partially extract was always
the next one to be delivered.
Mine was a dime machine. It took two nickels or one dime; no larger or
smaller denominations were accepted, because they had no change-makers
that early.

By then they had a magnetic rejector mechanism that would catch steel
slugs, along with thickness and diameter gates (natch), and a "bounce pad"
for the dimes or nickels (one for each) that relied upon the specific
elasticity of the coins to ensure they leapt just the right distance off
the bounce pad into their appropriate slots.
They weren't as sophisticated as todays coin rejectors, but pretty
reliable.

ARN-6 was a fairly simple radio receiver broadcast band and below IIRC. The=
re was a second "sense" antenna that nulled out the ambiguous readings give=
n by the rotating loop antenna. I worked on them too, but there was only on=

2995, first thought is oil drain plug with magnet.
Second thought is burner orifice from an ocean
going steamer.
2996, when misbehaved carpentry students are made
to sit in the corner, they must wear this.
2997, prototype of the dirigible Hindenberg. This
lead filled model was less successful than the
hydrogen model.
2998, possibly an early ending machine, but for
what products, no clue.
2999, cracking walnuts, and crimping wire lugs.
3000, part of a carpenter's measuring device.
The offset wobbler and shimmy shaft are missing.
Good one, Rob. You got me on all of them. No clue.

Not answering your question, but... You have triggered a childhood
memory...
Once upon a time, in New York City, the IRT subway (privately owned) had
turnstiles. They had four (heavy solid) wooden blades on a vertical
axis. The coin slot, about 4 feet above the ground, took a nickle for a
ride. The coin dropped a short way, triggered the turnstile, and
stopped in front of a lightbulb and a 4-inch diameter plano-convex lens
that magnified the image so the attendant in the change booth could see
that the coin wasn't a slug.
Then the city took over the subways and improved things, getting rid of
the nickle fare.

I'm guessing it was coiled up on the back, but I didn't take the time to look

I took the photo in a second-hand store, there was lots of stuff piled
everywhere, so there isn't any real significance. BTW, I like the interior shot
that I found on the web better than the external one and probably would have
used it as the puzzle had I found it before I posted yesterday morning.

The usual posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking -- where do the
rest of you post from (which newsgroup, not where are you sitting. :-)
2995) Looks to me like a fuseable plug -- in a boiler or something
similar -- designed for the pink stuff to melt and blow out when
the temperature and pressure get too high.
2996) For supporting something printed on paper -- not quite stiff
enough to be cardboard. Perhaps music at an organ, or something
similar - except it is not clear how it mounts to what from just
the single view.
2997) Streamlined housing for an antenna (fairly high frequency) on
an aircraft. Not metal -- probably some fiberglass or plastic
selected to be transparent to the frequency of RF involved.
2998) It vaguely looks like a Coca-Cola bottle vending machine,
except that I would expect the output side to be on the bottom,
not the top.
But I don't see a power cord to keep the bottles cold. (Perhaps
a lack of the proper angle of view. :-)
At least some kind of vending machine, with the lever, the coin
slot, and the coin return slot on the right.
Does the presence of the fire extinguisher have any
significance?
And it seems to be in a church, based on what looks like a
stained-glass window behind it. :-)
2999) Different possibilities:
1 -- stapler and staple remover
2 -- Oil can opener and pouring spout.
3 -- something which I have missed totally.
3000) Looks like some kind of woodworking tool -- *made* by a good
woodworker. But what its precise function is I'm not sure.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
