Those are called "quick jacks" On the race cars of the 60's, they were lifted for tire changes and service using a motorcycle style lever lifts that fits in the slot.

LOL, yea I figured that might be a distraction.

I’ve been besieged with requested for pictures, details and serial numbers! Lol. Who knew some old bikes would interest somebody other than me! LOL So while I was snapping pics and getting old crap down out of the rafters in the garage I figured I’d take a few of my old tandem since I had to...
