I have recently acquired a few bits & pieces from various interwar aircraft types. Amongst them were these items that I have so far been unable to identify exactly what they are, or which types they were removed from.
The first part “possibly an oil distribution pump”, is numbered FB14428 3, & might be off of a Bristol engine or aircraft.
The second part is marked- BRAKE REF No 4383. FOR GENERATOR REF No 1618A. R.A.F SERIAL No 1 0 “I think this is for slowing down a wind driven generator”.
The third part might be part of a camera operating mechanism, but not sure.
Can anyone please help to identify them ?.

The first part (the distribution pump) is a ‘gas distributor’; it is part of a gas starting system fitted to a Bristol Jupiter engine.
