Need info on a couple of tools

[Annie Grieshop]

Yeah... I know how to make it swing.  What I don't get is why it's a "beat
counter".

Oh, its period is one second -- it swings, and I count the beats within that
period.

In the words of the immortal Homer:  "Doh!" <g>  Thanks.

  Think "upside down metronome." Those pins are the pivot points. Hang it on
a pencil held horizontal.

    From what I've been told, the second "voicing tool" is actually a "beat
counter".  I have one that came from M. Roseburrough's auction, but have
never been entirely clear on its intended function.  So I'm interested, too.
Thanks for asking, Eric.

    That first set of pliers is pretty wicked!

      The other two photos show another tool that I assume is used for
voicing as well. Two of the three “crossbars” slide along the parallel
 “rods”. As shown in the last photo, the middle crossbar has two small
needles that protrude about 2-3mm. I would be very appreciative if anyone
could tell me what this is and how to use it.
