Rare 1909 BING electric motor & lineshaft
« on: July 18, 2021, 08:24:34 am »
A rare BING 4-6V electric motor 13885/2 made of cast iron in 1909 arrived here as a reimport from Holland in remarkably good condition

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

It was sold 112 years ago by the Lehrmittel-Verlag Artur Pfau from Rudolstadt in Thuringia.
I have never seen this one before ...

The 20cm high BING transmission system 9956/120 of the same time period came in spring this year with a parts bundle from a German auction house.

Except for the shaft, all parts including a wooden plate with a badge were available and only needed to be completed.

Here the 1909 BING catalog pics.

For its age, the engine is indeed in exceptional condition. The same goes for the transmission.

Congratulations on the acquisition.
Cheers

Have you gotten the motor to work?

Don't laugh... I even did not test it until yet...!   ???
Reading your question I went immediately down in the basement to test it and it runs like hell !  8)
