that's funny. i can picture orville wright being SO anal retentive and
therefore *totally* miffed at his mother/wife/sister because they didn't
serve him perfectly uniform .5625 thick slices of bread that he spent HOURS
building this bread slicing "miter box" so he could have perfectly uniform
slices of bread. lol. wasn't so much an aid to them but to him. lol. i
don't blame him though, just a funny imaginary perspective on a great
american hero. we all have our funny little quirks. you never hear about
his idiosyncrasies.

1918- The skeleton of a robot roll-away bug.
I know what 1916 is, but will give it a couple days to let
others chime in. They can often be purchased, used, on Ebay.
Traditionally, they are found on a big red truck with five
men.
The others, I seriously don't know.

Good one! And would you use 1920 as the slicer (not!). I'm

fits the valve control rod, curved section likely has a hole in the ear

How does that work, then? The queens are too large to pass through the holes
in the wire cones?
Of course, you're right. Plenty of perfectly capable women
on red trucks.
And, the adjustable ones are popular. I bought one many
years ago, when I was a nozzle nut. Never used it. Still
have it.

Yes, but I was told it was a bee trap, not sure if it was used inside the

The queen can enter through the wire cones but can't get back out, and as
beecrofter mentioned, the workers can pass through the metal grate to attend
to her.

When I read that exchange the first time I got that the adjustable women
were popular and that your ex was an "older iron monster". Then I
figured out you were talking about nozzles. Which puts my mind into a
totally different gutter.

Years ago, I saw someone using a crank handled unit.
Probably in southern CA, where they have wet hydrants.
I was a fire explorer for about two years, in a suburb of
Rochester NY. Did a lot of training, but no fire fighting.
Later moved to town of Arcadia, NY, where I was in one of
the rural country departments for two or three years. All
the 80 year old exempts had department issued pagers, but
they didn't have a belt pager for me. So, I got to
essentially zero calls. They had training on Sunday AM. When
I joined the church, I didn't get to any of the training. At
the company meeting, I was about the only non-smoker, and of
course I'm allergic. So..... that department didn't get much
use out of me. I now live in a bedroom community and the vol
FD is over staffed. Sigh.

Also fondly known as Rah-Cha-Cha. My great grand father used

Supposedly, my department didn't have hydrants. we had one
or two in the far north edge, where the boundries went into
town. The town had a bastard thread for the 2 1/2, though
all the other departments around were on National Standard.
We had to carry thread adaptors.

> 1918) To guide something like a large hose into a hole?
I forgot that the owner of this device had given further description of it
in his email:
"There are two of them, they are a mirror image of one another (maybe right
and left).
Each segment has a "part number" BP 96, BP 97, BP 98 BP 99, BP100, BP
101, BP102,BP 103, BP110 and BP111.
The larger end is BP110 The smaller end is BP 111 and the center is BP100.
The ends are the only difference, they are reverse of each other large
to small. all part numbers are the same from left to right except the ends.
It springs shut but only opens as wide as I showed you in the pic.they
are not made of steel, it is an alloy maybe magnesium the springs are not
rusted so maybe stainless, but the pins are rusted a bit.
The parts are cast and then some machine work that appears to fit well
so fairly modern.
The other one (right) that I left at the store has what looks like some
sort of rubber cement on the flat side that I think is the bottom."

How about removing a glued-on shoe? The spring holds it in place as the
farrier taps the wedges into the glue line.

I'm still not sure about number 1918, don't know if it could be used for
horse shoes or not, but the rest of the answers can be found here:

They had a fire a couple decades ago. No one could couple to
anyone else's hose. Finally, a couple enterprising lads put
a suction tube into the local river, and started their own
operation. Can't rembember more than that. Probably great
Boston fire of 1890 or something.

We still have the same type of problem today. One good thing is that all
of our MA departments talk about things like this and make sure that all
of us have the proper stuff on board.
We just got a grant and we will be getting REAL new turnouts (Globe
G-Extreme) for the first time since I have been in (17 years). Many of
us have bought our own gear over the years.
http://cnyfiretrucks.com/uv/vanhornesville.html
Is the current fleet.
The Older station is a fun place. Makes it really hard to find rigs to
fit. Those doors are a HUGE 10' wide by 94" tall!!!
The ALF had to have the cab lip cut off and the roof shaved of
everything just to fit. The older Ford (157) had even more work. Cut the
entire hose bed down by 6" and it clears by 3" when full of water. When
empty you better not sneeze when you back in....

I'm glad you are able to find equipment. That does sound
challenging. I can easily imagine guys buying their own turn
out gear. My last department, many of the guys bought their
own pagers. I just couldn't see spending $250 on a pager, so
that I could go, at my own expense, to the calls. I figured
if the department wanted me, they could provide the pager
for me.
During one company meeting, they had a couple grand in the
bank account. The old guys said to leave it there, in case
something needed repair or replace later. "in case the roof
leaks". The younger fellows were all determined to buy a
brush fire truck, which eventually did get bought. I can't
say as the department responds to very many brush fires. So,
the expensive toy sits in the garage, and doesn't get much
use. Heck, they had a couple pumpers, a tanker, and a bunch
of Indian tanks.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1915) Looks like an expanding scraper to put a nice finish
on the ID of a bore.
Some, I've seen with flaps of sandpaper and rotated by an
electric drill or a drill press or milling machine.
This one is for a workpiece which is being rotated by ( perhaps )
a lathe.
Assuming that the image has not been reversed (they sometimes
have, here) it either is for a workpiece being rotated in
reverse on the typical lathe, or it is the leading edge of the
flaps which cuts -- and I would expect that to generate forces
beyond the ability to grip the wooden handle and prevent it from
rotating with the workpiece.
1916) A wrench for use by a firefighter. The smaller socket
(pentagonal) is for the valve stem on a fire hydrant, and I
think also fits the caps over the openings. The crescent is
probably for tightening the hose onto the hydrant. I'm not
quite sure where the big hex socket would be applied. Looks
like about 2-1/2" between flats, assuming that is a 2x4 that is
is resting on.
1917) Hmm ... designed to attract and trap flying insects like bees or
wasps? The sliding door is to release them into some other
container, or to free them -- or to allow smoking them into
insensibility for transfer to another container?
1918) To guide something like a large hose into a hole?
1919) For holding ground glass onto which an image is projected by
some other part not visible with a lens or a pinhole?
1920) One edge for cutting while rocking the blade (sort of like
an early pizza cutter), and the other end looks as though it is
for crimping a lid onto a container -- sort of like an oversized
cap for a soda bottle.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
