Easy one at 3205 - it was on Mythbusters. It's a hwacha, an ancient
Korean multiple-rocket-launcher weapon.
3206 looks like a whisk, for cooking eggs or similar.

It is a stirrer but not for paint.

It's used like a whisk but it's not for cooking.

I think it's for mixing size for wallpapering.

Here is a photo of the gears that he sent, they look to be not very thin:

Here is his reply:
"Well depending on how you hold it, it could go either way. They turn both
Clockwise and Counter Clockwise.
It is as almost as if there would have been a handle that would fit on which
ever
side you choose and then the other side would have been inserted into something
so
you could turn it at a different rate of RPM."

And before you post "Rob ALWAYS PUTS UP A POST WITH ANSWERS" He no
longer does. If this is an issue with you I see three choices.
1. Understand that he has changed his methods, and still try to guess,
while stopping the above BS.
2. Keep whining like a damn spoiled brat. Which is exactly what I expect
you to do. Especially since you are acting worse than Jon B. and his
sock puppets.
3. Leave the newsgroup, never to return.
Your choice.

Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking as
always:
3205) A strange thing. Is it perhaps a portable device for crushing
sugar cane?
3206) An egg whipper?
3207) Some sort of fork designed to easily slip off whatever it picks
up by operating the lever.
3208) O.K. Another interesting device. First off, it is built on a
parallel-acting jaws pliers. The size looks close to that of
the metal-backed buttons/pins, but the left-hand part is too
small to assemble one without bending the backing plate, and the
pliers are not really offering enough leverage to make it
practical for this use.
So -- I don't know.
3209) The tapered square to the left looks like what is found on the
shafts for winding tall clocks -- but it is the wrong gender to
fit into a clock.
Out of curiosity -- which direction does the ratio go? Is the
left or the right hand side the faster?
And how heavy (wide) are the gears? If they are thin stamped
steel, they don't have the torque to drive much significant
load.
Perhaps it is for something like spinning a wheel with holes in
it to act as an "optical chopper" -- or maybe a hand-powered
fan.
3210) Strange -- and I can't see enough of it to be sure, but it
looks like it could scribe a diametrical line across the end of
a piece of round stock. (More detailed photo of the spring
loaded arm might give more clues.)
A tough series.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

O.K. About medium strength, then. And while I don't know which
side is up,. the side on the top is the high speed, and the one on the
bottom is the low speed. (Assuming that the center gears shown are
directly connected to the shafts. No real depth to the photo -- even if
I save it and adjust the gamma to make it less dark.
Maybe it is supposed to have a fan blade on the high speed end,
and be used as a hand-cranked breeze in hot weather?
Or -- as someone else suggested -- for a hand cranked grinding
wheel (a quite small one). If it had a way to clamp it on a table edge,
it could be for sharpening scissors or something similar. But I seem to
remember a wooden handle under the gear housing, which is awkward for
most grinding uses.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Given that additional clue, before going to see that one -- let
me state a secondary guess. It is for deforming plastic watch and dial
indicator crystals. Push the center in relative to the ring and the OD
shrinks a bit. Drop the bezel ring onto it so the edge of the crystal
fits into the groove there, and relax the grip on the pliers to let the
crystal expand into the ring.
I made something to do this -- using a drill press and the press
part instead of pliers.
Now to see what the "hidden" answers really say.
Yes! I wish that I had seen this before I needed to make a tool
to do this. (I used mine on crystals for various sizes of dial
indicators of the sorts used by machinists.
I hope that this one has interchangeable parts, to adapt it to
larger or smaller crystals. I had to make (so far) three different
sizes. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.

They were right about one thing:
"(OCR text may contain errors)"
Pretty much unreadable. :-)

Now *that* would have saved me a lot of time. :-) (And if I have
to make other sizes, still could, if I could find one for sale at a
reasonable price. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.

O.K. Not really the answer to my question, as that much was
obvious. (Other than what appears to be a different square on the two
ends, so they probably did not fit interchangeably. :-) I was more
interested in whether the tapered square was the slower or faster end.
Thanks,
DoN.
