Guess This Tool, Win a Tool #6

Cash register

The homework machine

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine,
Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is--"nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me . . .
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

Haha I used to love Shel Silverstein

is it a lawnmower?

Adding / Accounting Machine

Printing press

Looks like a paper or magazine stacker or conveyor. Hmmm...

receipt copier

area counter

oldschool typewriter

a scarf knitter

COTTON GIN!!!

It looks like the inside of one of those old mechanical adding machines.

Or how about an adding/ accounting machine with a paper real that actually prints out the numbers while it is at it.

a lumber feeder, could be used for saws and planers.

I got it! It's a golf club assembler.

some sort of loom?

A cotton/string/thread spooler/winder.

It is an early seismograph or seismometer. Or, possibly the oldest polygraph in all of history, so old that T-Rex murder rate went down thirty percent in the late cretaceous period when they were in use.

Paper folder, collater, or envelope stuffer? Are we allowed to scattershot on these? LOL!

Paper stacker? Meh...

It looks to be some kind of time card machine, or possibly a vote counting machine. Weird

Smith and Corrona Adding Machine
Would have a looking glass area on the top above the paper feed if it is the same as what I think it is.

Its a donut cooker!

Newspaper press. Soon to be an artifact.

Its a machine that has a jack ladder, like a bread slicer.

Cardboard box folder.

I know I've been beaten, but I'n going to second an old-school adding machine.

IC chip loader for PC boards!

IT looks like part of a carpet roller you'd see at lowes or home depot. It could also be factory paper cutter.

Ice chipper for block ice. It is missing one of the blades.

There are 2 options I like, the old manual adding machine, and the steno.

It's hard to tell the scale of the device in the photo.

Its a braile type writer

a dry glue paper tape dispenser, and wetter

It appears that it would spread or stretch something. Therefore I say its a dinglehopper.

I think its a pattern punching machine for old weaving looms

A binding machine.

Random Number Generator

Correct Name: comptometer

Description:
A machine designed to do mechanical arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

A good comptometer operator could perform complex calculations at a speed which would compare favorably with a modern electronic calculator. However, calculus functions had to be performed "in total," at each step, which are done much more quickly with a modern scientific or business calculator.

Tom

chain link fence making machine

derrrr, um, maybe a Stanley FatMax 24-inch level assembly machine?

Looking at the assembly, it can handle up to 6 units per cycle. Within a production line, it's probably just used within the final production stages given the amount of potential torque, if not for the final packaging process altogether.

Otherwise, I'd guess it's a giant tampon roller.

Newspaper or magizine bundle conveyor.

old time calculator

It looks like it would be a cutting machine from an assembly line, so I am going to say it is an old school perforating (spelling?) machine

A Burroughs Adding Machine

Envelope-stuffing machine

a cyclostyle copier also called miemograph

sorting machine for newspaper, part of the large printing press. Quite possibly made by Goss

a jig to guide up to 6 units of extruded-like product to a predetermined position to shear/manufacture/print/assemble before sliding out for next step.

A walking conveyor. A cousin to the walking beam conveyor.

I would wager to say its a feed table for and older offset press, possibly an AB Dick.

It's a meat wrapper...

It's a check embosser. You enter the amount of the check on a keypad, insert a paper check and pull the lever. The machine embosses the amount of the check into the paper using ink coated pins. It creates a nearly impossible to alter series of small holes in the check in the shape of the numbers of the dollar amount of the check.

This is a finger conveyer

It this the original IBM mechanical calculator?

Looks like some sort of binding machine.

it's a compact wire stretching machine.

It's a key punch card collater

This part sits under the keypad to read the user's entry and keep a running total of all entries.

Il s'agit d'un sismographe tôt ou sismomètre. Ou, peut-être la plus ancienne du polygraphe dans toute l'histoire, si vieux que le taux d'assassiner T-Rex a diminué de trente pour cent dans la période du Crétacé supérieur quand ils étaient en cours d'utilisation.

Näyttää siltä, että se levittää tai venyttää jotain. Siksi sanon sen dinglehopper.
