maybe a white cloth goes over it to provide soft-field/omnidirectional

2377. Trigger for Vickers machine gun

2379. Dunno. Brand template?
2389. Adjustable strap wrench. Used for undoing oil filters or similar.
2381. Billy can? Perhaps for brewing tea / coffee over a campfire.

if 2380 is really a tool for removing oil filters, then there must be
some elongation missing. The cord is much too small to surround an oil
filter.
2382 i think that the miracleous part is a holder for glas balls, that
are used as condensor lens for bright enlightening of the specimen.

They're called "drip torches". We use them all the time down here for
pasture burns.

2380 And a very nicely made old strap wrench at that... Nowadays they
are a polymer handle-stick and strap.
2377 Sure looks like the trigger mechanism of an M2 Browning .50 caliber
machine gun.
2378 A gasoline burner/torch. I can't help with the specific application.

Strap wrench is correct though it's not for oil filters.
2377 the operator's handle for airplane mounted machine gun
2378 used for lighting back fires, for fighting forest fires
2379 part of wood worker's hold down clamp. The right side
is broken.
2380 soft touch version of a pipe clamp, for tightening
stainless steel pipe where appearance matters.
2381 storage can for fishing bait
2382 changable design (inserts not shown in this picture)
yarmulche for small Jewish scientists.

Do firemen burn the pastures or do farmers start their own fires?

Like 'most everything on the farm/ranch, it's a part of the job.
Generally is done cooperatively w/ neighbors w/ or w/o help of "custom"
crews that travel the areas that have significant burn areas every
spring, particularly out here in the Flint and Red Hill areas.
Farther west where there's much CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) grass
that has replaced formerly tilled highly erodible (think wind, sandy,
dirty-30's) ground in large areas, burning is one of the alternative
maintenance practices. Several quarters (160A/quarter) or sections of
one or several owners/landlords may be burned in a single burn. Begin
w/ a disc'ed buffer around edges of some distance for a break then a
backburn downwind and the main burn set upwind the other side.
Folks here have setups of a drip torch mounted on an old 4x4 or use
4-wheelers and head off across the burn target area at a heady clip
trailing the fire behind.
It is required to file burn plans and coordinate w/ County Emergency
Management organization whatever that is locally--generally there's a
County Fire Department who's in charge.
It's a real challenge when one gets started on hot, dry, windy days by
carelessness or accident Train hotboxes are a great source as well as
windblown power line coming down or the tossed cigarette butt along the
highway. One of worst around here last summer was a fool welding
outside in windy weather w/o protection and set his yard going which got
away into adjacent fields. Ended up w/ a 20-mile long by 5-7 mile
stretch and several houses.

Have any of those grass fires been started by dry lightning?

A cloth does go over it but it's not for lighting.

2381 looks like it would hold 2 gallons. It would serve as an ash
bucket by a stove or fireplace.
That's interesting as always. I did get a couple right,
which is satisfying. A couple were good learning moments for
me.

Perhaps you have not removed many oil filters, many can be quite tight
especially if the previous person that put one on did not put oil on the
gasket. I have had to destroy some filters to remove them. Leverage is
certainly your friend.

2377 - ANM Spadegrip backplate off a Browning M2 set up for aircraft use.
2378 - Drip torch. Used to light controlled burns.
2379 - Looks like an early version of a combination tool. One piece
serves to draw circles and arcs while the other allow you to cut mortice's.
2380 - Some form of strap wrench. Looks to be a special purpose one for
gas company use?
2381 - Ye Olde lunch pail
2382 - Well there's a microscope but the other item ????

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2377) Aiming grips and trigger (the knurled surface between
the two handles is pressed by either or both thumbs) for
a machine gun -- M2, I think.
And I think that this is the remote one which can be used while
the weapon is on a low tripod and the operator is standing.
I recently stumbled across this information when looking for an
example of the "Manual of Arms" from the period of WW-I. About
four days ago, I would not have known this at all.
2378) Perhaps an agricultural sprayer for insecticides?
2379) Looks as though it might be one of the tripod feet from 2377
above.
2380) One of the nicest looking and best made strap wrenches that I
have ever seen.
For turning a smooth cylinder without marring it.
2381) A bit small for the first thought of being for boiling corn
on the cob.
Perhaps for sterilizing medical instruments by boiling them?
2382) Given its location, I would think that it might be to use
water to form a lens to focus illumination (perhaps from a lamp
wick or a candle) onto the mirror below the stage of the
microscope shown.
O.K. That's all the questions, and all my suggestions.
Now to spell-check this and then post it and go check what
others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
