The first pic on post 14 is a bank of fuses, one of them has a porcelain cap missing so the bare metal is live. I think the fuses are a German design and usually called bottle fuses because of their shape.

This is a photo of them, the catalogue lists them as barrel fuses

A lot of older continental made machines used to have them as part of their control circuit. The last "new" machine I worked on a couple of years ago (retied now), had mcb's and electronic control so it's possible they're being phased out

Still used in much of the continent. They were once as common in most Europe as the Wylex 3036 CU's. Also popular in the States in the early days...

I've seen big Italian woodworking machines (Morbidelli, etc.) using banks of these. And frequency changers to get them saw blades spinning nice and fast. Daz
