Desertexplorer Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I got these with some Model T parts I purchased but I’m not able to ID what they are. The four bands are about 6” across with a screw in one end and 2 pins on the other. The three parts with a brass tube are curved and may be acetylene related? The other 2 pieces with a bolt, I’m really just at a loss... Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Second picture is parts for carbide generator. Third picture is parts for acetylene head lamps. Can't help you with the metal bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The bands are part of a slide lock arrangement for holding a font on the bottom of a sidelight. Early T Ford had a similar ring but in a smaller diameter. You put the font up onto the pins, then the ring was turned rotating the pins to pull the font tight, the thumb nut would be tightened to keep it there. I can only think it’s for a larger lamp... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertexplorer Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Thanks for the id on the parts. I kinda thought the one parts were acetylene related but the carbide generator mounts I had no idea and the 6” rings I never would of guessed were for holding the fonts in the sidelamps. Thanks again for the ID’s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
