Photo 1 shows the vibrator and idler roller assembly though the vibrator is missing. Photo 3 shows the roller assembly with the roller cores and Photo 5 shows them both together as they would be mounted on the press.

The roller cores in the fourth photo looks like those on a No. 4. I think I can make out a slot in the last segment, which is for a screw that fastens the clutch block and a pin fitted into the hollow end of the core. The complete gear and clutch assembly consists eight pieces including screws. The frame in the third and fifth photos looks to be for a model 17 or similar Composing Room Cylinder press.
