1761. 10-1/2" long:























1762. Sent in by a visitor, text on it reads DC10, 767, and 380:























1763. The round part is 2" diameter, on Thursday morning take a look at Neatorama for more guesses on this one:

























1764. Submitted by a visitor who is looking to find the purpose of this item, the jar has no bottom but is ground perfectly flat, it measures 5" diameter x 12" tall, the brass fitting is 3-1/2" x 11", the tube measures 5/32" I.D. and is grooved as if a tube would be attached. Brackets at the ends of the arms apparently would clamp 1/4" rods.

  3. 1764. While this is certainly a vacuum bell jar, the thumbscrew connectors might have a couple of purposes. They could merely be supports or perhaps they are used for electrical connections as in this apparatus.

  7. Looking again, I now see the peg-board hooks along the back edge.

  10. 1764. Although this is surely vacuum pressure bell vessel, the actual thumbscrew fittings may have several purposes. They could just always be supports or maybe they are utilized pertaining to electric powered internet connections like this particular apparatus.
