    Requested?

    Can only guess, but the first two might be reamers for removing carbon, the hammer would have many uses, and the third looks to be a tool for ensuring the rounds were seated at the correct depth in the belts - the three "studs" presumably fitting into the holes provided in the belts - which presumably explains the presence of the said holes !?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    The wooden handled cranks are headless case extractors....
    They come in many types of handles and configurations but all do the same thing.
    I'll see if I still have one left.
    They fit on the sled mount in the middle of the plate under the T & E mechanism.
    cheers,

    The aluminum hand device is for setting the round depth in the belt..

    MG1918, does the "hammer" have recesses in it's hitting surfaces on it's head? I was wondering if it is a copper/hide mallet with it's copper and hide inserts missing? Obviously your photo only shows the side of the "hammer" which doesn't tell us if the head is recessed.
