In those last 2 pictures on the first post what material are those rollers (if they are rollers lol) made from?
Not sure what they're made of, but have been told they have a velvety coating.Quote:

How does the big L shaped arm/bracket in the third picture fit into the system ?

This is a description from the guy that found them.Quote:

The ratchet and rollers: when the bar below the cogs is pushed in, it releases a brake below the rollers but the rollers can still move on the ratchet mechanism. The left hand roller can be moved (it feels like its sprung) to allow whatever to be threaded through then the brake could do its work. The rollers are covered in a velvet like material too.."
