site which might baffle and amuse. (It's a dildo manufacturer's site,
and I hope I haven't offended anybody at your email address) I
particuarly like the picture labeled "Pony, Saddle, Horse", not on the

Here is your answer:

According to R.H. <[email protected]>:

O.K. -- posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.
551) Easy -- an Edison cylinder recording.
552) Hmm ... despite first appearances, the first one is
*not* a gear, as the teeth are square.
I'm not sure of the material of the wheel in the first one. It
sort of looks like asbestos.
The second appears to be brass.
So -- I will guess that they are for guiding something hot, and
the "teeth" in the first are to minimize heat transfer. Hmm ...
perhaps for use with a glass-blowing lathe?
553) At a guess -- a non-contact infrared temperature sensor, with
pins for plugging it in to recharge the batteries between use?
554) Cooling fan on a small electric motor -- perhaps one found in
an inexpensive phonograph?
555) For tumbling something -- either clothes, or more likely
something which needs polishing -- in sand or rocks.
It looks large enough to be used for tumbling a chain mail
shirt in sand, to remove the rust.
556) A double-ended prybar, with the prys oriented differently
on each end?
Now to see what others have guessed.
Enjoy,
DoN.

551. Edison phonograph wax cylinder recording of "At the Gate of the
Palace of Dreams" (but I thought it was patented in 1906 and earlier,
not 1911, the Amberola player was around 1911 though).

This answer is correct, otherwise know as an embossing roll, back tool,
blank roll or gilding roll; it's used to apply gold leaf to the leather
cover of a book.
While we're on the subject, I was surfing the web the other day and came
across a site (see below) that shows books that have fore-edge painting,
with the edge of the pages gilded with gold. It got me wondering how they
gild the edges without having the pages stick together. Anyone know the
answer to this?

Actually, all of us "I know how to please a damn woman" he-men out
here might want to take a look at some of those female pleasure tools
that women use. Maybe a thing or two to learn from them. I learned my
giant horse dick ain't all that ;-)

No, I think 554 is the business end of a fire sprinkler.

This one is the deflector for a fire protection sprinkler.
Five of the six have been answered correctly:
551. Edison Blue Amberol Record
552. No correct guesses yet, it's used to emboss something particular.
553. TDS & temp meter
554. Fire sprinkler
555. Windlass from a water well
556. Logging dog
A few new photos and some links have been posted on the answer page:

I got one! I got one!
555: This unit is incomplete. It's the rotor for a wind sound FX machine
for live theater. It sits in a box, that it just fits into - the metal
sleeve (there's another on the other end) fits into a notch at the end
of the box. A piece of silk is fastened along one edge of the box so that
it can be draped over the drum, covering the whole top
hemisph^H^Hcylinder? - well, you know what I mean. Anyway, when the crank
is turned, it goes, Whooosh! WhooOOOoooosh! and so on.
At least, that's how the one I saw worked. :-)
Cheers!
