In 1960 Chicago Tribune Weekly Bridge Quiz, with hand 4Q743462 K95 A103, the advised plan is a temporary two clubs bid to prompt a spade raise on the next round. The hand is too strong for two spades and not suitable for a jump to three or four.

With the auction starting 2 Spade by opener and your hand 2 V A K95 A K75 QJ96 you should not jump. Bid two hearts to show diamonds later and reserve space for later exploration possibly adding clubs.
In a bridge discussion, with a singleton heart after sequence 1C Pass 1D Pass 1NT Pass 2C Pass, a four clubs bid by responder signals not playing minor suits and delivers information for final decision. A three no trump overcall would be improper, as it would reflect a mediocre hand from the opener rather than the intended forcing jump rebid.
South holds AK 4391052 A634Q43 and passes after 14 and 29 trends. With partner already passed, you must avoid chasing game. A safe pass is advised though hearts could be trump if bidding proceeds.

In a four clebs auction South opens with 1NT and the sequence shows a forcing path. After Passes, 3NT is bid and the question mark suggests a continuation to six no trump.
The text explains a bridge hand where South holds 487YQ107 AJ87 10982 and North East has opposite. It argues that partner's failure to raise no trump or jump bid shows no strong hand, only a non suited one, so there is no hope for game and the correct move is to pass.
The passage discusses a bridge sequence with 4A2 opening and a plan to "fish" for distribution. It suggests bidding three spades as a cue bid to force partner to reveal the king of spades by bidding four spades, enabling the declarer to pursue six diamonds.
