    Maybe a transportation aid? Looks like it's supposed to be (and is) sprung open which suggests it's otherwise screwed shut (unless there's a relay mechanism somewhere). Looks a bit half baked to be part of the mech, and the angled profile suggests its not got a braking function.

    Having seen one in the flesh my best guess is that it is a damper for vibration being transmitted up the spindle.

    i dont think so,there are no screws or screw holes on it to screw it tight against the boss,in operation the spring gives just a little pressure so lightly grips the boss whist the tt is running.

    You would have thought it would have had a felt inner for that, or some method to stop noise.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
