You've got it Gloria, Charles Minthorn Murphy.
Many more such assisted records since.... Nowadays behind cars but then the railway was the most reliable source of speed.
Next one?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Stanley's look like bones repurposed, maybe for making rope?
Or are they wood and recovered from a sunken ship or longboat?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I'll go for PanBiker's rope making.
Rope making blocks. Three strands of fibre would be drawn through the holes while some rotary mechanism would twist them together.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
It is a shoe and is used to control the flow of grain into the millstones. The shoe was often vibrated by a 'damsel' for a steadier rate of feed. I used to go to James Bowman's flour mill in Hitchin once a month but the technology was much more modern.
