Burg Dynometer
A while ago I posted about the Tapley meter . I was surprised and delighted to be given another similar device from another manufacturer. This is the Burg Dynometer. Complete with instruction leaflet. It works in a similar way to the Tapley, but is smaller. I was told someone wrote "keep off" on the box in 1979, so it could be no one touched this m […]
Singer 66 1914' Daten-Kontrollbuch"
This is an interesting item. It is a "Daten-Kontrollbuch" dated 1914. It registered in detail the fact that a customer bought a brand new Singer 66D to the sum of 165 German Marks. He made a downpayment of 8 M. and a monthly payment of 5 M. was agreed.This a a similar machine to the one the book refers to. A Singer 66. This one is a 66K manufacture […]
Sunday Autumn drive
Enjoying a fine Autumn day driving the Wolseley 18/85.
Wire to steel: MGB Axle and wheel swap part two
In my last post The axle was off and I was ready to move the new axle in place. Now it is all done and the Blue MGB rolls on a nice set of RoStyles. But first the new axle needs to be fitted. Here the old and new together. Rolling the axle under the car. With one leaf spring shackle disconnected the wider Axle can be jacked in position. New rubber seals on […]
Tailor Bird Sewing machine
This is a strange sewing machine it looks as if someone decided to re-design the sewing machine. The machine recesses into the box nicely.The Tailor Bird Sewing Machine Company Ltd, was established at Richborough Hall, Kent around 1950 but ceased production in May 1952. Still some 40,000 machines were manufactured, according to the Sewing machine museum webs […]
Wire to steel: MGB Axle and wheel swap part one
Although our 1969 MGB GT looks absolutely fabulous with wire wheels, the have never worked very well. There is play on the splines and driving at any decent motorway speeds there's an annoying vibration. We tried many different fixes, but the only cure would be to replace the wheels and hubs. Also the differential has some internal play. It's all f […]
Hitching a ride on Boelevaer III
Last week I showed you this view of the old ship Boelevaer III built near Bremen in 1938 for the German River authorities. Now I was invited to enjoy a run up the river in this rather special vessel. On the river it is a very different view from the one I'm used to in the kajak. Soon we reached the famous Arnhem BridgeThis ship is even older. Built in 1 […]
Minerva Sewing Machine
I must admit I had to have this brand as it is also a well known car brand even though the Minerva sewing machine manufacturer has absolutely no connection to the Belgian car manufacturer. The Minerva Sewing machines were manufactured in Czechoslovakia and still exists today. Making very modern plastic machines. This one is an all metal machine. It seems to […]
Minor Sunday drive
The AMRWR late summer run. Even Emelia the Wolseley Ten came to meet our Minor. Riley Drophead parked at a discreet distance from the other cars. When did we last see such an Blaze Orange Allegro. This one was spotless Emilia was having fun taking her new owners for a Sunday drive Immaculate Mini and big Wolseley Always nice: a white roof on a Maxi Late ca […]
Slow Paddle day
This is not a Chevy on the levee, but the levee is still very dry. Of course we don't drive the Jeep on the beach, though someone did.There is not much current in the river now, so it is almost as easy to go upstream as down. Here's Boelevaer III chugging upstream.This ferry ramp is almost too high.No traffic jam on the Bridge todayMore interesting […]
