I think it is for Braille, but specifically for communicating
with someone who is also deaf: the deaf person reads the
Braille, rather than the something getting embossed, which would
require a mechanism to move the material being embossed in a
controlled manner.

3163, boat builders level?
3164, totally no clue.
3165, I have never seen one of these in
person, and the owners and operators have
also never seen one either. I'm about 99.9%
sure I know what this is, but I'll withhold
my guess, until I see what others write. My
comments are enigmatic, so as not to blind
others. Just scrolled down and saw the second
picture, and now I'm 100% sure.
3166, not sure. I do believe that photography
could be a bit better.
3167, not sure
3168 possibly PVC pipe cutter

After looking at 3168 again , I believe it is used to score terra cotta
drain pipe .

3163 - that's a little level on the slider, isn't it? Then the tool
is for measuring the angle by which something is tilted off the
horizontal or vertical, or could be used to place it at a chosen tilt.
3164 - for binding a place where a heavy cable has been spliced?
3165 - obviously for writing Braille manually.

Actually 3168 is a Presto Log cutter used to break the log into smaller
pieces to get the fire started.

Yes, that's what the owner said it was for.

That's a good link, thanks.

Looks to me to be similar to a roofer's square in some respects. Slightly
more up-market and expensive than this one:

Based on the translations of the words on this device I'm now sure it's for use
with some type of artillery, though I couldn't find another one like it on the
web. I don't have an answer yet for the brass tool but the rest have been posted
here:

Thanks to everyone who answered the piston groove cleaner.

Neither of them is a fence tightener? ;-)
Actually, I sincerely know (or believe I know) one of them this week
without having to revert to lousy jokes. 3165 is a braille device, used
for producing brailler more quickly than a stylus and grid. My piano
teacher when I was a kid had one of these, as she wanted to do her good
deed by helping convert sheet music to brailler for the blind. The
certification exam involved transcribing 35 pages into braille making no
more than three mistakes. The first time out she made four. :-(

Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking as
always. (Also, my living room, for Stormin' Moron. :-)
3163) Well -- it serves to measure the angle of surfaces from the
horizontal or the vertical. The calibration is in degrees,
though the markings appear to be in some other language than
English. Possibly Italian? The markings "D.T.", "DISTANZI" and
"ADVANTI" and I can't make out the markings more distance from
the end.
3164) Shock mount for shipping sensitive electronics equipment,
usually used in sets of four to mount the equipment to the
inside of the shipping crate -- or on sets of eight if used on
both top and bottom instead of just bottom.
3165) This is a keyboard and press/punch for embossing Braille
letters into plastic or paper -- probably paper, given the
apparent age of it -- and the lack of a mechanism for indexing
the paper or plastic to space the letters in a straight line.
I'm not sure how the paper or plastic is to be held down. With
paper, likely just by thumb pressure.
3166) This one looks sort of like a universal clock winding tool.
3167) A strange thing. I could see it being used to unscrew jar
lids -- but I'm not sure about the turret with the various
widths of projections -- perhaps to fit into lock rings of some
sort, with one flat position for normal un-notched rings (or jar
lids).
3168) This one, if screwed to a wall or the edge of a countertop
could be used either to grip a jar lid -- including puncturing
the edge for better grip -- or it could walk around the edge of
of a can cutting the top -- and the rim -- loose from the body
of the can. Thus it would leave the can rather flexible and
harder to grip. And -- it appears to fit only one diameter of
can -- a fairly large one from the looks of it.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Why limit the followups to rec.woodworking -- especially since
the later information seems to make it a military item -- an (artillery)
gunner's protractor, not a woodworking tool?
I've reset the cross-posting as it was intended to be. This is
one of the exceptions to setting followups to a single newsgroup, as
there are people contributing from all three -- and most people do not
*read* all three newsgroups. I know that I only read
rec.crafts.metalworking of the three.
Enjoy,
DoN.

3165 Brail puncher. Used to make signs. NOt a typewriter, my wife
brails for kids and it is a different typewriter. This would probably be
used to make the elevator , or room number tiles.
