North-East generators/distributor

[Juha Paavo Kaita]

Hi!

I own two Reos from 1926. Then I have among other things two North-East generators with intact distributor. One is type 6089L8 and the other is 3929L8. Outside look is almost identical. What is difference between these two generators? Were they both istalled to Reos?

All are Northeast systems. they are for automobiles, there were also some trucks that used Northeast systems.

Look for any of the above numbers on the assemblies you have.

Hi Juha. I´m posting the photo of my generator (1926 REO roadster) almost the same you have.

I have a North East book printed in January 1926, but the suffix is for L-6. The L-8 may be an update later that year.
