What is it? CCXX
from a windmill manufacturer website, exploded view. (just one version of a
windmill motor, but i think most of them are nowadays covered and covered in oil.) http://www.aermotorwindmill.com/Imag...g_gearbox2.jpg i tried to find a pic of the head assembled but couldn't, maybe someone else can. http://www.aermotorwindmill.com/Index.asp b.w. "Andrew Erickson" wrote in message ... I think you're correct except for the application. I suspect it's the gear head for an old time water pumping wind mill. That could very well be; it sounds a bit more likely than my guess. Perhaps the strange right-angle box is some sort of an automatic shutoff to stop the pump when the tank is filled. (Maybe it's not used with a windmill, but wtih a gasoline engine or electric motor. Weren't most windmill systems just a simple crank on the windmill shaft without any gearing at all? Something like this would be a bit tricky to rotate to get the windmill facing the wind, unless perhaps the pump rod also rotated.) I still like the elevator door opener idea, though; it has a certain je ne sais quois that a pump jack lacks. -- Andrew Erickson |
