alsancle Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This is a picture I have of I think the same car taken in the late 40s or early 50s. This is posted a few pages back somewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE all the machines are belt driven! not any electric cords plugged in anyplace. I don't see any electrical service anywhere in that photo. Any lighting in that plant was most likely gas or kerosene (probably gas, looking at the small diameter pipes at ceiling height). Electrical in that era would have been the old exposed 'knob & tube' wiring that ran along the ceiling or wall, and appliances would have been directly hard-wired to it. I don't think plug-in, or screw-in appliances as we know them today didn't come into existence until just before the first world war.

There is another in the midwest as well that gets driven on a regular basis out there as well. Beautiful dinosaurs indeed. Most collectors reading this will have no idea how heavy that radiator and shell is to move around. I have one I am working on to display in my garage that I bought from Austin Clark 40+ years ago at one of his "Iron Range Days" ( that was a parts sale by invitation) at his auto museum in Southampton. Some how that radiator seemed to be easier to move then then it does now.................. Yes! There is a great video on youtube of the other car. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin6 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I believe this is a Frayer-Miller (air cooled), with the Cliff House (San Francisco) in the background. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those shovel nose cars are very attractive. 2. Nice to see a twin six that doesn't have the 7 passenger touring body. Not that I would complain if I had one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
