The universal joint adapter was the one that stuck out in my mind, and when I saw this thread I decided to go look on the internet for a picture.
My father has a large quantity of Old tools That one day He will give to me and I will give to my son.
My family on my Fathers side were from Michigan. He and my Grandfather both worked for G.M, Grand pa Was A tool and die maker and when G.M came up with a new part they would go to him (and others) For ways to set up various jigs and molds for the mass production of said part.
My Father worked in the Gear and axle division assembling Axles. His dad got him the job and he worked there for awhile until he packed up and moved to Arizona.

Motomech, thanks so much for posting and sharing your family history. Can you take picks of some of the tools your Dad and Grandpa used to use?
