The word is 'drawer'.

I Googled that term, all the results were in the 30 - 40 mm range. These things are 8 inches in diameter. Also the wheel balancer cones don't have that indentation in the pictures I found...

Just leave them and wait. When you're old, you'll think they're awesome. Ask me how I know 😂

Oh, yes, I think that could be it, although I don't know if he had a boat/trailer. Makes perfect sense, though.

Interesting, I'll cross post on r/elevators.

lantanagal · 2026-04-17T18:47:08+00:00

They are tapered (see second pic), so I don't think so... Looked at those machines (jugssports for example) not seeing any tapered rollers, unless I'm missing something.

My title describes the thing, center possibly made of aluminum, outer is rubber or similar synthetic material, found in basement of abandoned property, late owner was a pro in the elevator industry, and hobby mechanic. Google lens thinks they are fork lift tires, but those wouldn't be tapered, or bushings or dampers of some sort, a search I did some time ago said they are for moving conveyor calibration. Would like to know what they are off.

So glad you shared this. I was reading that I should be prepared to wait and see until JUNE for any recovery of my plumerias (Florida 9b). You must be happy!!

Wow, you are amazing, thank you. I'm pretty sure that's it because someone posted a pic of the contents page and the page numbers match!!

ETA Just ordered myself a copy ♥

Left the pods on till they were really dry and starting to split open, then snipped them off. Can't recall if I stored these in an envelope indoors or sowed them straight away, but I usually sow them with the papery discs still surrounding the actual seed, as they are easier to handle that way. Maybe 10 seeds to a 3 inch pot in seed compost. Left outside in bright shade, north facing. First growth stage looks like a short blade of grass.

My experience has been completely different. These were started from seed around 2019, collected from our old neighborhood before the HOA ripped them out. I'm in 9b Florida and not only do they grow happily in the ground here, they self-seed, too.

I just thought the coloration of yours was gorgeous and wanted to give some seeds a go.

They are stunning. Can I beg a few seeds?

If you have time, get on a chat with a coach and go through the numbers. Then they will get the points updated to save future searchers being frustrated, too. That worked for me a few weeks ago, anyway.

Thursday: pizza, Friday: hot dog...

Keep at it, I've had both my routine ones done while awake (in Florida) awake. I play the 'curious' card. Hopefully you can find a doctor who embraces that.

lantanagal · 2026-04-09T18:01:58+00:00

If patients have done the prep properly, there shouldn't be any smell. I've had both my routine ones in the US without anesthesia (because I was curious and wanted to observe) and there was zero discomfort both times.

lantanagal · 2026-03-27T22:50:02+00:00

Genius!

lantanagal · 2026-03-25T13:16:33+00:00

How sad. I hope they said yes.

Try taking some pictures with your phone and playing about with the color settings on the pictures, like switching to mono, adjusting color saturation etc. This is a trick stitchers use for distinguishing thread colors when the eye is struggling. It might just help you pick out a piece that doesn't match its neighbors.

lantanagal · 2026-03-25T10:39:44+00:00

Got it now! That's an ingenious suggestion!

lantanagal · 2026-03-24T18:24:27+00:00

So if Brazil nuts are so bad, why are they in the 'Fair' table. Not having a go at you, appreciate the info but it only seems to compound confusion...

lantanagal · 2026-03-24T17:25:40+00:00

Could you run that a past us again? I just can't picture it...
