I think not filters in this one, because there is no cable visible entering it. Documentation as to what pair connects to where, if that is a "card drop" -- that I could accept -- documentation on the local wiring.
Enjoy, DoN.
Good point, I'm going to try to find some typical documentation that they would contain and will post it when I do.
Know someone with a ladder? Go up and look. Make copies, and put the papers back later.

I'll probably end up doing that but I would prefer to do it on a street with not much traffic and most of the ones that I've seen are on busy roads.
"Rob H." fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@news6.newsguy.com:
It's trespassing, and not looked upon lightly because of the potential for theft of wiring/devices and sabotage. When you see a power company lineman at work somewhere, just ASK him.

Panel van. Yellow safety vest. Yellow bump cap. Clip board. Couple of stolen road cones. No one will know. Urban camoflauge. Middle of the day. You'd be amazed some of the things I've done, and no one seems to notice or care.

You can't figure out where it bolts on because this is *not* an apple peeler. Those tended to have a horizontal shaft, not the vertical shown here (based on the clamp which mounts it to the table). I (and others) identified it as a hand cranked drill press, with a force feed from the knob at the top. The drill chuck screws onto the bottom end of the shank shown, which you can see is threaded. There were accessories for this which would replace the flat plate with a V-block (for cross drilling round steel rods) and a vise for holding smaller workpieces.
I found (and posted) the catalog from the maker which shows the device in its entirity.
Enjoy, DoN.
Based on the catalog (Goodell-Pratt No. 16) calls this one a
"No. 9 Bench Drill"
It can be found on catalog page 204, which is shown as page 96 in the PDF download of the catalog, because it is scanned two pages per pdf page. The catalog appears to date from 1926. The choice between the No. 8 on the facing page and the No. 9 is based on the size listed above the puzzle photo relative to the height above the workbench shown in the catalog.
FWIW -- when new, it sold for $12.70 with the round table, and for $16.00 with the vise added.
Enjoy, DoN.
Strangely enough, the apple peelers my dad has were in fact made by the same company that made the drill press you identified, Goodell- Pratt.
Perhaps should go in "rec.crafts.fruitworking" instead of metalworking :-)
I remember when Harbor Freight just a few years ago was selling a variant of their jigsaw, for butcher shop use, and I made some crack about rec.crafts.meatworking :-)

I thought HF had a crank apple peeler.
Their web site delivered zero items for apple, or for peeler.

Not enough cranks bought them.
Not even brass poles?
Not enough a peel?
Golly, you're about as good with the word play as anyone I've had the chance to meet. Well done!

I am with you. It's a piece of metal designed to bind a piece of wood to a different piece of metal. Best guess is 'lathe'.
I've had almost six decades of practice. :)
For meatalworking, Polish strippers? ;-)
