I would consider the use of Loctite on a clock falls in the same class as the use of WD40 The perpetrators should confine their confine their efforts to sundials

Roy

The large one with the nose on front is probably for mounting a chuck on a rotary table and I use a thread chaser to clean gunge from my chucks

The items bottom right are driving dogs ( ? ) for turning between centres
