The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just became the owner of an HMV 104A.
I've been looking to buy one of these for years know, but I am new to all this.

This will be a silly question to the most of you : but what is the use of the things that are in the yellow markings in the picture?
(I think to hold needlecases?)
PS : I speak dutch, i'm from Bruges, Belgium

Those were used to hold the relatively thin tungsten (HMV Tungstyle) needle boxes.
