The last one looks like a Dynamotor or 'rotary transformer'. They consist of a motor and a dynamo on one shaft. You apply (typically) 12 or 24 volts DC to the motor end and this turns the dynamo which usually generates a few hundred volts to power valve equipment. It's basically WW2 equipment, before inverters/switching supplies were invented.
Not sure what the top one is, could be a high-current shunt or maybe an RF induction coil for heating stuff?
The other things are obviously RF connection leads with long-forgotten connectors.
