As I also mentioned on the web site, I'm going to be away from my computer
for a couple days, so I've scheduled the answer page to be posted late
Friday afternoon.

It was also part of a power feed, which consisted of a chain which you looped
around the tool. I forget how you controlled it, our Doall had the power feed
and this pusher too, but no one ever used it. I think the chain just hooked at
the points near each handle.

1369. Vibration isolating mount.
1370. DoAll stock pusher for a vertical band saw. (Wanna sell it?)

1369 Shock/vibration isolator/damper. For example, mount under a
motor-generator to keep vibrations out of the support structure, or mount
under a truck transportable radio to keep shock from making the vacuum tubes
shake. The flexing of the cables causes inter-strand friction that damps
the vibration.

1374 Guess... The steering gear from a (modern or late version) of one of
those antique steam farm tractors.

The other choice was to make everyone wait another day or two until
I got back to post the answer link. It was just a one time change, since
I'll be back on my regular schedule for a while.
----
Based on some of the responses, I changed my answer for number 1369 to read:
"According to the owner, it's a shock absorber, used in the bottom of boxes
that were air dropped
by the military, they would cushion the equipment when it hit the ground.
These were also used as
vibration isolating mounts for large machinery."
-----
A number of replies have disappeared from my server, so I'll answer a couple
more in this post.

I had to rotate the photo because when I had it in landscape mode and scaled
it
down to fit the page, the resolution of the tines became really bad.

I would sell it to you but it doesn't belong to me, someone bought it at the
flea
market and I got a photo of it before he took it to his car.

I found a couple good things for the site this week, and someone sent in an
unusual artifact from Tasmania, so I hope everyone can stop back again this
Thursday.

I'm familiar with these things being used as vibration dampers and shock
absorbers.
I'd be surprised if something this heavy, expensive, and with such a short
travel range were used as an air-drop buffer. That is what prisoners and
privates are for. :)

Hmm -- a new approach -- and one which I don't like, because it
means that I will have to save it until the proper time -- or I guess
follow the link from the puzzle page which is bookmarked since it is a
stable URL.
1369) A shock mount -- typically used in fours or eights -- usually
used for rack-mounted electronics inside an outer case -- used
for equipment which needs to be transported in a ready-to-use
format -- on trucks, aircraft, and the like.
1370) Looks like a tool to guide a workpiece into a saw -- perhaps
a bandsaw. The workpiece normally goes in the 90-degree V, and
this keeps the operator's hands well clear of the cutting blade.
I'm not sure why the outside curve also has similar teeth.
Perhaps it could be used on the inside of picture frames when
cutting the outside.
1371) Interesting, and this is only a guess, but the bronze end looks
like a sensor which screws into the side of a container, or into
the bottom of a boat. The end which looks like case pot metal
looks like a connector housing to allow connecting the sensor to
the readout device.
1372) Hmm ... looks like mother-of-pearl inlays (the diamond shapes)
which makes it unlikely that this was used in an industrial
setting.
So -- my guess here is that it is intended to be used for
something like winding yarn into a skein as it is pulled off of
the spindle.
The sharp end of the stick could be stuck in the ground
outdoors, or in a dirt-floored dwelling.
1373) Again just a guess -- but I think that it might be used for
forming the round hay bales -- or at least for starting them.
It does not look strong enough to support a complete round bale.
But -- it looks a lot older than the round hay bales.
1374) Interesting. I would like to see more viewpoints. I *think*
that multiple heavy cables pass through the grooves, and turning
the double leadscrew (left-hand thread at the big end, right
hand thread at the small end) causes the smaller arm (resting on
the small stone) to change its angle relative to the mass of the
object.
Now to see what others have guessed.
Enjoy,
DoN.

O.K. I wound up using the link in the puzzle page.

O.K. I've seen them used in sets of eight -- four on the bottom
and four on the top between the inner rack and the outer protective
shell. It is what I would have used in putting one of the older hard
disk drives in a permanent truck mount or something like that. The 8"
and larger ones were really sensitive to shock.

Just barely in time, then. :-)

Hey Rob,
1370 is the frame for the "powered" feed for a bandsaw, first seen on
a DoAll. The "power" is a weight which drags this contraption and
hence anything that is in front of it.
If you look closely in the lower of the two pix, you can see where the
operator didn't get it shut-off quite quickly enough a couple of
times!!

Are you sure 1373 is right-side up? The N in the framed print on the
right of your picture looks upside-down: I'd expect the serif to be on
the top part of the N, not the bottom. Also, the photo behind the item
looks as though it should be in portrait orientation, not landscape.
Finally, the left side of the photo looks suspiciously like ceiling
tiles. :-)
Other than that, I have no reasonable guesses.
Well, maybe on 1374: If the top part is a movable arm, perhaps it
releases clay discs for trap shooting. (I doubt it, though.)
