"What are these two cylinders on an elevator/lift control panel labeled ABCD?"
A: "Those are for installing locks (normal keys with keyways) to enter areas e.g. floor 13. Keyways are at least 5cm (2″) deep so they needed a way to orient them sideways as the button assemblies are not deep enough. For smaller buildings where those are not needed those are just design elements."

#11 I had a stack of those. they were the punch outs of thin decorative plywood lattice panels that were press cut. Dad worked in a lumber yard circa 1969 - 1970.
They found many new uses.

why did no one identify #18 ? this is an over-rated one dimensional bore who made a career off playing the same character for 30 years and not wearing a bra.

Louis,
don't care, would have done her upside down, backwards, standing on my head, one arm tied behind my back, fact might have given my left nut for a run at her.

#4 is NOT for Printing or Typesetting, Type is measured in Points and Picas.(I've been a Printer since 1974) Other Pictures of Rulers like this on the Internet are called Concave Rulers. They are very old and there's no info on how they are used.
