Nice Day at the Fair: Doll & Co Whip Carnival Ride and Ferris Wheel
« on: April 16, 2020, 08:14:22 am »
Greetings.

Finally cleaned up this Doll Whip Ride from Dec 2018 Pook & Pook auction.

Running next to my 729/5 Ferris Wheel.  Next time I'll arrange for a slower pulley combination for the Ferris Wheel.

Thanks Jan & Nick.

Ya a unique motion and mechanism.

There is a counter set of gears to drive the internal spindle in one direction and the turntable in the opposite direction.

That look's like a nice day and a fun one. I have seen a similar system used in oil fields where one engine can power many oil pumps. But you have this
ride in your house. Amazing!

I had viewed this on my cell phone a few hrs. ago Scott....but couldn't wait to get home & view it on my much larger home computer screen, I have never seen that whippet carnival ride ever before in my life ….WOW ! & I never tire of seeing your Ferris wheel , seems like such a disservice to "just" call it a Ferris wheel....it is much more than that.

Thanks Bruce.  Fortunately for me, most of the key parts and pieces where there on both these toys.

Great to see it running again Scott.

Makes an impressive pairing with the Ferris Wheel.

I hope you are doing well. I am still holed up in West Texas.  I am still waiting to get internet at my Farm House. So, not much time on line for a couple more weeks. But, I had to pop in and say thanks for posting the video of this unique and rare accessory.

Regards,
