But surely 3230 is a bulk milk container, used for pouring into smaller
containers in the old days when milkmen didn't deliver one-quart glass
bottles? Watch me be wrong.

3230 milk can from a dairy.
3231, no clue.
3232, maybe for some kind of flower?
3233, no clue.
3234, would make a good seed planter.

Third person to comment on this item. I'd make a
guess, but don't want to milk it.

3230 Milk transport jug

3231 Automatic brake adjustment lever that fits on the bottom between
the two brake shoes on the early to mid 70"s Chevrolet Vega and Monza,
Olds StafFire, Buick Skyhawk, and Pontiac Astre?

Can't tell you how many of these I have replaced. Replacement was
necessary as the unit would not collapse when installing new brake
shoes, it would only expand with each application of the parking brake
lever. Actually there was a tool to collapse the internal "one way"
piece but the tool was more expensive than the part and therefore more
time consuming.

I had a typo in my description which I changed earlier, it's actually a five
gallon container. And after doing some searching, it looks like it was probably
used for something other than milk.

I haven't found an exact match yet on the web but did find some similar shaped
struts. Thanks

Gotta be for syrup, then. Figure it's the transfer container for maple

You may not find a match, it was unique to the a few GM vehicles in the
70's maybe into the early 80's. I looked at a few nation auto parts
store online catalogs and while the description was named no part was
available. The part actually mounted just under the wheel cylinder.

Changed a bunch of them myself. They "worked" but getting them to
retract when they rusted was almost impossible.

Here is a mitchell page showing them.

Yeah, I kind of agree with this comment, I don't think it's for milk.

Long, long, long time ago an aunt had a dairy farm up in Wisconsin and
besides a lid (needed to keep the flies out), the handle for them were on
either side of the opening, two, not one across like the one in the picture.

Tell the owner of 3231 that if they have no use for it (or any others
they have or Vega parts in general) to go to http://forums.h-body.org/
and mention that they have them.

They are VERY RARE parts and are wanted by folks who restore the cars.

Try to use it horizontally, or tilted upward. Won't work.

[woodchucker]

Why not?
The container would be on top, not on bottom like shown.
The plunger is what sends the dust out. A little at a time.

Check the angle on the filler funnel. You cannot use it more tilted up
than just a little above horizontal. If the 'hopper' is even halfway
filled, it will spill out at horizontal, and empty itself completely when
the tip is tilted above horizontal.

Roses (and most plants) need to be dusted on the bottoms of the leaves as
well as the tops.

Not that... It's designed to be used vertically.

Then how could it feed, with the tip above horizontal?

Lloyd

There is a pump handle... it pumps probably a mixture of air and the
powder.

Whatever it is , it appears to be a pump for distributing a small (fine)
amount of particulate ..

Coarse grained material or viscous fluid also possible.
Turn it so the tube is at an angle and the funnel is upright.
Leave rod in down position, remove funnel cap, fill funnel to level,
with the rod acting as a shut off valve, return funnel cover, raise rod
to allow contents of funnel to flow down tube.
Funnel acts as rough measure.

Rob, I don't like it for a powder loader, by virtue of the fact that it
has no means to limit the amount of the charge. Powder piston loaders
almost all have a means to meter out a fixed amount of powder per stroke.

That one seems to just admit powder more-or-less endlessly, without any
particular method of stopping it. The tip would ram it, but what would
stop the powder remaining in the tube from just 'drizzling out' when it
was removed from the sprue it was intended to fill?

No... being a pyro person, I'm not happy with that being _anything_ to
load powder into _anything_.
(could be wrong, though. wouldn't be the first time!)

I think it's for medicating small animals . I know what a problem I have
giving our dog her meds <monthly flea pill , aspirin for her aches> . Drop
pill in funnel , insert tube into mouth , pull plunger and follow the pill

I agree that it's unlikely to be a powder loader, looks like this one will
remain

thing to do is to provide the information?

It sounds like you're looking in the wrong place.

The images for the current puzzle are posted on a Web page. Clearly, while
the puzzle is live, the answers won't appear on that page. But the Web page
contains a link to the previous week's puzzle. If you navigate to that page,
you can find the answers about half-way down the page. It's not surprising
that it's half-way down, because each half contains the images, which
dominate the space taken up by the page. The top half is the images without
the answers, and the bottom half is the images with the answers.

I have never, ever, ever bothered to look for the answers before, let alone
look at them. But I found them within a few seconds of deciding to look.

If you are really, really struggling to find the answers, simply click in
your address bar (in your browser), and change the URL by adding "#answers"
as in the following example:

http://55tools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/set-553.html

becomes

http://55tools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/set-553.html#answers

Hit your "Enter" or "Return" key, and the browser will jump to the answers.

I hope that is helpful to you. I hope it solves a long-time mystery for you.
I hope it is now clear to you how to find the answers.
