Windmill Part Identification - Bent Knee + Foot

Hi friends,
Just managed to scoop up a big box of miscellaneous Heidelberg Windmill spare parts. I came across three of these “bent-legs-with-feet” in the box (almost supplicative in nature) and wonder what they are. Haven’t been able to identify them in either the Windmill T or GT parts books - but they are cute and look weirdly familiar. Any ideas? I’ve tried to upload the photo to BriarPress with no luck, so please see https://www.tollundpress.com/partsquestions for the image.
Best,
Christian

What you have are 3 Heidelberg GTO 46 / 52 Feeder Sheet Steadier / Weights.

That was quick — thanks so much! Hadn’t occurred to me to look at the GTO parts list!

They are used in all K-series feeders, offset or letterpress.

They are used in all K-series feeders, offset or letterpress. The platen equivalent is the sheet slow-down finger.

Thanks, yes I found it in the K-series - still sorting through the box trying to find pieces that fit my GT and which ones my local printing museum in Haverhill, Mass., might need for their T model or that other T owners might need.
