A series of models to demonstrate different gearing systems.
With transparent slideplates, the gears may easily be seen and where necessary there is an index on the primary and secondary shafts to show the change in the direction of rotation and the relative speed of rotation.
A simple three-speed and reverse-gear system using spur gears.
Reverse gear is obtained by interposing a small lay-shaft mounted pinion between the two main shafts.
Gear selection is by means of a short ball-ended lever.
This model uses the same basic assembly as the motor, but is mounted on a baseplate 230 x 90 mm approx.
which also carries a hand-drive pulley 120mm.
diameter coupled to the smaller dynamo pulley by a rubber belt to give a step-up ration.
Electrical output is via a pair of 4mm sockets.
The model may also be used as a motor on a 6-8 V D.C. supply.
A model of the simplest form of D.C. electric motor, having 2-pole armature wound with enamelled copper wire and a permanent magnetic field provided by a removable bar magnet.
A disc-type commutator is incorporated and external connection to the phosphor-bronze bushes is by means of a pair of 4 mm. sockets.
The motor will operates on 6-8 Volts D.C.
A model of two-stroke diesel engine made in aluminium alloy and gun metal.
Ignition is shown by means of a miniature bulb. Fuel supply is also sectioned.
With hand crank, provided for manual operation.
Mounted on base.
Operation of a commercial steam engine is well illustrated with this working model.
The extra large size unit is provided with a horizontal boiler with a whistle, safety valve, steam gauge, on metal base.
Operates on 220V A.C. 50 Hz.
