This is an all metal spring loaded slug rack that is apparently for holding slugs as they are made. It has bolts on the ends of vertical threaded rods and a spring at each end to keep the separate bars compressed. Is there some other way this is used, and perhaps used as part of a forme?

That is designed for holding Ludlow slugs and allowing direct proofing from the rack. Other Ludlow slug racks were wood and did not allow direct proofing.
Now that I have a Ludlow, and work for it, I sure wouldn’t mind finding a stash of those racks.
