Description

Cast iron weights for 1952.10651.1a. The weight which rides the arms (b) is a tapered cylinder with a central hole. The top has an integral half-moon loop with a cast iron ring joining the eight to a secondary ring which allows the weight to ride the arm. (c) attaches to the arm with its hook. The hook extends straight to a cast iron disk with a slight circular ridge. This disk sits on a smaller diameter disk. Threading from the hook sticks out from the bottom. (d and e) are circular cast iron disks which sit on (c) for extra weight and have a tapered cut-out just over half the disks' diameter. The underside of (d) has 11 half-spherical divots. (e) also has divots, but there are only five: three grouped together in a triangle and two larger ones, one on either side of the cut-out.
