new connecting rod

#1
I found rod!

Can't remember what it for lol.

Wrist pin is .628
rod journal 1.378.
center to center is about 3. 181
Marked fan on one side, and 251 4 on the other

Strange marking on it looks like a bomerang

I have no ide what it fits.

After some though

This may be a rod for a Wisconsi Robbin.
That might be the logo for Fuji heavy industries from back in the day.
Seems to me that those rods had steel dipper than bolted on the to the bearing cap.
From the size I would guess an EY25 or one of the big flat heads of the era.
Very short rod though.
Might be completely wrong and this could be an OHV rod

If this sounds familiar and you can use it free + shipping

If you can tell me what the glass things are ( no you do not smoke anything with them don't be smart ) or what would use a spark plug like that I'll buy you a cup of coffee....

When ever I run out of ideas I go and dig through my collection of odd things.
sometimes I get inspired.

The tubes.....
well the top row are commonly found in TV sets made prior to 1965 to drive the sweep coils for the picture tube.
The bottom row are general purpose amplification the sort of thin you woould see in an guitar amp.
I am tinkering with an audio project and have been playing musical chairs with tubes.

The spark plug is for a diesel fired heater or pressure washer, the glass tubes appear to be for neon applications.

The glass tubes are fountain pens for chart recorders

I am a junk collector and I couldn't figuere them out for while.
Droped them off in the mail for a chum of mine in Atlanta.

He collects everything....
The spark plug confused him.
He doens't collect those though.
He tells me he went to a meeting of guys that did once.
They all sat around hours on end looking at plugs on board, talking about plugs like they were children and making all kinds of deals to aquire more.

He figuered they were realy wierd and never went back...

Here's my chum.

I need to ask him someday how an engine made i Canada ended all the way up in the deap south. He probably doesn't know it full history but I amagine if it could talk it would have an interesting story to tell.
