Hey Rob. I have a question/comment about 1635 - the picture molding
hook. In no particular order.
1). With that arrangement it would be very difficult to take down and
put up the pictures. You'd need two hands minimum to hold the
pictures, and that's if they're small, and where do you get the other
hands to mess about with the cord? You could hang a cord over one
side of the hook, and that would suspend one picture against the wall,
but as you adjusted the picture would be banging against the wall and
you'd still need three hands.
2). The color photograph just shows the hook and the cord and the
picture(s) are not in frame, but the link you provided shows the
standard molding hooks. Where did you get that color picture?
3). If you wanted to hang two pictures it would be far simpler to
just have two separate cords hanging from that hook. The look of the
cords wouldn't change that much.
4). I could use hooks like that for a different reason. The lower
set of "jaws" below the actual hanging hooks would be almost ideal for
pinching the cord a little bit to prevent the picture from sliding off
kilter. I would bet dollars to donuts that that is actually what that
design is for.
5). Where did the B/W diagram come from?
6). Thanks.
7). Thanks again. ;)

Hanging a single picture, friction is necessary only to the extent that
the hooks are not equidistant from a vertical line through the center of
mass. Normally, a wire bending only ten degrees over a nail behind the
picture, provides enough. If the weight is not centered between the
hooks, loosening the wire so it bends twenty degrees may solve the problem.
With the standard hangers, heavy cord goes around two sharp corners.
That should be plenty of friction to hold a picture straight.
To hang two pictures from a hook, two fancy cords could look unsightly
where they passed over the hook. Also, the decorator could not then
adjust the space between the pictures.
If the hardware on the back of the small picture were made to pinch the
cord slightly, hanging two pictures on one cord should be easy for one
person.
Hanging two pictures would require enough friction to keep the heavy one
from hoisting the light one. Having the cord pass through the throat
below the supporting hooks would increase friction slightly, but I think
the intent was to get a lot of friction by pinching the tabs once the
adjustment was correct.

I'm a little bit late to the party, I know, but my news server was too
busy for me to be able to connect last night. (I'm not complaining
about that. I'm actually really happy that my little local ISP sees fit
to continue to contract out to provide news server access for all their
subscribers, especially when so many ISPs are dropping that service.
Hurray for Green Mountain Access!)
Anyhow, without seeing other responses...
1633 - World's fanciest saw set? I don't really think that's quite
right, but I can't think of any other possibility. It's highly
adjustable, whatever it is.
1634 - Gizmo towed behind a boat when trolling that keeps the fishline
where you want it (and/or alerts you when there's a nibble), possibly?
1635 - Looks to me like a hook for hanging a picture or similar from an
old-fashioned picture rail moulding. The broad curved end hooks over
the moulding, and the hooks grab onto a wire or string to hang the
picture.
1636 - Could be a soldering iron rest for an old-fashioned (blowtorch
heated) iron, to keep from burning one's workbench, workshop, and/or
self.
1637 - Possibly for use in fire starting, as an alternative to bellows.
1638 - Strap to keep a window opened as desired, presumably a sash that
hinges inward or outward from the bottom. The chains provide a fixed
maximum opening, of course. Looks like a pretty well thought through
design for this sort of thing, actually.
Now to see what other people suggest...

I can't believe that's the second one I've posted upside down in the last
three weeks, I don't think I've had that many in the past five years!

Last November someone sent me the photos of the rail hook, it was found
while metal detecting a turn of the century hotel site in Melrose, Florida
about 15 years ago.

I agree that it would be much easier with two people.

Yes, but I guess the inventor thought it looked fancier with one cord.

Sounds like that would work but I don't know if that was the intended use
for it, I looked for a patent but didn't find one.
>5). Where did the B/W diagram come from?
The owner didn't know what the hook was for, I told him it looked like a
rail hook and later he found the link and sent me the jpgs, he kept the same
file names so I just found the site a few minutes ago, the images are at the
bottom of this page:
http://swanpicturehangers.com/rail_hooks.shtml
As someone else mentioned, the diagram shows the back of the pictures,
probably just to explain how they are attached.
That's about the extent of my knowledge on this piece of hardware. :^)

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1633) Tool for cutting keys from the depth codes in a code book.
Rotate the disk until the codes for the maker in question lines
up with the pin on the lever, lift the lever until the pin drops
into the proper numbered notch, and squeeze the handles to both
cut the key notch, and to advance the key holder to the next
notch position.
I don't know whether there is anything which controls the
spacing of the notches, or whether all car keys have the same
spacing.
The real trick to getting some use of one of these is to have
the book which the manufacturers publish which lists the depth
codes indexed by the number stamped in the keys and the lock.
1634) This looks as though it balances when supported from the eye
which should be slid to the fairly sharp angle at the bottom as
it is shown here. I think that the counterweight is enough to
handle something resting on the flat surface which would be up if
it were hung as I described.
1635) To hang something from a loop of wire. I think that it might
be something like a bucket (held in the lower hooks), and
something like the handle of a spoon or ladle in the bottom
tabs.
1636) Rest for a *big* soldering iron. I think an American Beauty.
I've got one of those -- something like 450 or 850 Watts, and a
copper tip about 1" diameter.
I always referred to it as my "slaughtering iron". :-)
1637) A hand-pumped fan -- perhaps to go over an opening in a
wood stove to pump air while trying to start the fire.
1638) Designed to capture a cylindrical part on the side of
a truck. Perhaps for hose extensions for a fire truck.
Now to see what others have said.
Enjoy,
DoN.
