WOW, you have just posted more here then I have contributed in total to this thread- maybe! But the question is ( from me and some of your buddies here on the east coast and the west coast ) IS THAT YOU in the lederhosen next to the Auburn? And is that required attire now if you attend a CCCA event ( I'm no longer a member so there may be new rules for that elite group ) or perhaps for a PAS event? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Midland, a make new to me although there is an article in The Standard Catalog.

nzcarnerd Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Ouch I bet that hurt - location Cementon, New York, 1913. I looked it up - about halfway between Poughkeepsie and Albany. Note the sign in a mix of languages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The fleet of a small local carrier just pre WW2. Any idea on the truck third from left? The building is still there - though no longer a wool and grain store. Unusual for Christchurch where about 80% of the city's buildings had to be demolished after the February 2011 earthquake. On the left in the old photo where advertising hoardings can be seen there is now a bridge over the railway - built about 1960. There is an overbridge on the street, Moorhouse Avenue, now - built in 1965 - which makes getting a good angle impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running board mounted Prest - o - lite tanks were reasonably common in this era, but this is the first time I have seen a exposed tool mount. On the running board just ahead of the tank. It looks like a brace style wrench for the lug nuts and what is probably a jack just inboard of the wrench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I have this tool box for my Staver project if I ever get as far as fenders and running boards. I am not sure if it was intended for use as a battery box or tool box. Could be either late Staver car or de luxe buggy. Electric lights were an option on both. It does not show up in my 1912 parts book. The electric stuff was an option in 1914 and up. The cars stopped in 1914 but I think buggy's were available for a year or two after that. In full road trim I am planning something very similar to this Midland. I think my wheelbase is a bit longer but otherwise a very similar car. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the battery boxes had slots at the top of the lower section for cables. On this CarterCar you might be able to see the cables coming out of the rear of the box and going through the splash apron.

There wouldn't need to be any big cables if the batteries were dry cells to hotshot a magneto for easier starting. That was pretty common before electric starter-generators. Smaller wires would do. It could easily be older than 1914 and still be a battery box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Staver made a very automobile like buggy close to the end of production which featured electric lights. So I think there would have been a battery box of this sort fitted. They would have been wet cell of some type . And no need or anything but small gauge wires so the small holes as are in this box would have been all that were necessary. The reason I say wet cell is that dry cell's are fine for a momentary starting { coil ignition , not a starter motor } use , but they would run down quite quickly if they were used for lighting. In any event I am going to use it as a tool box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) 1912 Cadillacs had the battery and a timer to set so the car would charge in the box on the running board.

I love to look at the structures, signs, lamp posts etc in the back grounds. The second photo is just outstanding with that apartment house. The sign out front, fire escapes, masonry construction........no aluminum, everything done in wood that was painted. I am sure the signs at that era were all done with sockets and light bulbs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 A couple of interesting ones from facebook. Same barn in the background - around 100 years apart. Apparently a copy of the early one is in the Owl's Head museum. I see this version was 'borrowed' from The Old Motor. The poster of the modern photo says the woman in the old photo was the great aunt of a friend of his. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anzani - Wikipedia Mentioned there is a British arm of the organisation. I know someone who has an old British Anzani marine outboard engine. As he says he would never trust it enough to put in on a boat. Quite a few Morgan cars had Anzani engines.
