pretty newb here, as I said I used this Shopsmith as a child a lot, but it mainly consisted of lathe work and band saw, which was what my grandpa used mostly, however upon receiving all this there are some stuff I have no idea about and was hoping you kind folks could put a name to them and their uses...

White arrow indicates where the aluminum thingie goes - It is missing screw/washer(like the other end).

Pic #1: Miter gauge. Unlike most other miter gauges, the SS uses a pistol grip handle with a clamp that will hold the workpiece. This is safer, keeping your hands further from the blade and the workpiece secure. Yours also has a face extension to easier handle longer pieces.
Pic #2: This is the drum sander and shaper fence. It clamps to the table and gives you a fence when using a drum sander attachment or using the SS as a shaper.
Pic #3: I'm not sure what the flat bar is, but the round bar is a stop rod for use with the miter gauge. This is so you can make repeating cuts of exactly the same length.
This picture shows the miter gauge and stop rod being used.
Pic #4: In the center is the miter slot extension. It lengthens the miter slot giving you a little bit more room at the front of the table.
