Weight
A small component listed simply as "Weight," tied to the timing cover and contact breaker assembly on unit twins from the mid-1960s.
This is a small component that shows up in the timing cover and contact breaker area on unit-construction twins from the mid-1960s. The catalog description on file for this one is just "Weight," and the figure titles place it with the contact breaker and coil assembly under the timing cover, but there isn't enough detail in our records to say exactly what it does or how it's shaped.

Given where it sits, it's likely tied into the points/contact breaker mechanism rather than being a standalone weight for balancing or ballast elsewhere on the motor, but we don't have a firm enough description to say more than that with confidence.
