Dutch airforce had a lot of german, french and british planes that had to land overhere in ww1. They just took all in 😉

Would not be nice to drive these slick wheels on muddy roads.

There was one in an closed down museum in Les Riceys.

He has no wipers to put the ticket under...

Nice for the autobahn...

Nothing new, it was already tested in WW1 on Delahaye and Latil trucks.😉

Did see a lot of those in the past, as there were several US army material depots around in the area.

A friend of mine went to a French army depot in the 1980s. They were still filled with shermans and other ww2 stuff.

Nice one, also the size is practical 😉

This look similar https://prestonservices.co.uk/item/torpedo-steam-engine/

Didn't torpedos run on compressed air? Later ones were electric i think.

It's nice to see these moulds made. We had some in the museum collection. I have a huge transmission bearing completely made in wood even the screws. It was painted to look like cast iron.

A car restorer from a firm that makes aluminium bodies once told me a trick to form aluminium. That was clean it up first to bare. Then trace some lines on it with a bar of soap. Then slowly heating it with a torch from the other side till the soap lines get black. Then the aluminium is softened up enough to form. I don't know if this also works for cast aluminium. Good luck.

Look at autosparks.co.uk they have lots of electrical materials

They are to small, michelin truck wheels always have 6 holes.. Not expensive though 😉

Sorry to tell you. Wheel is not longer there, sold to an owner of an little UNIC truck which seems to the same wheels.

I sold it to a friend, will ask if he still has it.

You have to wind it up again...😉

Something for the fairground...

Here the Michelin truck wheel mentioned earlier found at my uncle's attick in France.

I think you will have to set the mag timing a few degrees before TDC. Good luck.

This nice pic turned up on the Citroen truck forum. The british tank with german crosses on it. The french did paint the protruding edges of the wreck white for "road security" 😉 The strange thing is that seen the after 1935 traction this wreck must have been laying there for a while.
