  4. 1591. Broom corn baler you load the broom corn in it and use the rachets to screw the "bottom" up to compress the corn and then put on the ties. When the bailer is let off the ties are tight.

  7. Noodle maker, the top part is the press and the dough goes in the bottom part, that has a "die" at the bottom. Don't know the English terms for these things, but this kind of a wooden device is quiet common in kitchens in India.
