I'm having a hard time visualizing how this works. The pins are on
springs so that you press the board down and the pins retract?
Are the pins just mechanical support or are they electrical contacts
used for testing the board?

Here's a
representative lot:

They have descriptions like "General Dynamics signal processor adapter
assembly" and they all look like circuit boards with a regular grid
and an arrangements of pins placed into the grids. The grids are
divided into areas and sometimes color coded. Does anyone have any
familiarity with them? There are a ton of these on govliq right now.
It seems to be some kind of test harness.
Yes, these are (very valuable) pogo pins. These are pins with a coil,
when you put a board on top of them, they fit the height of the board. It is
made for testing, a very nice setup.
