Hawekotte & Klausmann Bipolar Motor
« on: May 05, 2025, 11:14:05 pm »
Seems to be very little on these guys other than its 1900 to 1910ish?  This one was wire rotted so I undid it all and heat wrapped the wires and reconnected.  I studied and realized where I needed insulators and also realized in the control lever or throttle that there was a fold with a copper sheet which I assumed was for the copper contact against the seemingly porcelain contacts on the motor axle.  This is my practice video testing the concept it works great but does anyone have propper pics of the copper contact so I can refurb it as accuratley as possible?  Thank you!

JASON

pls enjoy.

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!
