Simple enough - we machine a lot of aluminium parts!
These are what we know as 350 Spindle Drives - works in place of an espag handle and is operated with a square drive key.
Well, as it's nearly Christmas, I thought I'd throw in an arty type shot!!!
This is what they look like what they are assembled.

Sash Balance Tilt Blocks.
There was some time ago, a narrow tilt block or pivot shoe, which is now obsolete, making it very difficult to repair tilt in sashes with this narrow version.
Spot the difference?
These are cut down and modified, to bring them to the required width.
Sorted!
Need any?

Yet another oddball item.
The request from the customer was "do you know what these are?".
My reply was "Yes, but they are all gone".
Fortunately, they wanted more than a handful - so we re-made them.
These date from many years ago - the last of them were in Tote Tins, with the original part numbers on - 05.00039.51 and 05.00040.51, so if you come across anything like this - you'll know where to get them from!
It's a clever idea - you lift the bottom sash and they bump into the projection - to release them, you push the little knobs to the side and then you can carry on lifting the sash.
When you pull the sash down, it pushes the triangle part back and re-sets for the next time you use it.
