Niels v Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Lot 70 - 1918 Peugeot Type 1525 Truck (handh.co.uk) I just spotted this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 My brother spotted this axle with two wheels in a garden in Germany. If i see the casting marks on the wheel i think it might be French. I am not shure if it are massive or inflatable tyres. Any idea what it could be? Truck, gun? it's about a meter high.

Citroman Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Schunck, a department store in the neighboring town had 3 buses to bring customers from the region to the shop in the 1920s. Could this be ex-army trucks? The middle one seems to have an real bus body. Edited December 9, 2022 by Citroman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The bus body to the left has windows progressively smaller to the rear, suggesting it was a charabanc with raised seating to the rear. Perhaps the glass windows are a latter upgrade rather than the open sides. The bus in the centre has a delightful body style with the curved sections about the window tops.

The Thorny and the Dennis are the same. The centre plugs must be a simpler way of sealing off the water jacket instead of a flanged cover with studs. You are right, the apparent spare follower positions are intriguing. To someone who knows what the engine is, they will be the main clue! It is amazing what is about even 100 years later.

Citroman Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) The seller says it are 1917 Peugeots. I can see a red cross on one side and an USA flag on an other vehicle. I am not shure if it really are Peugeots. Fiat? The cars are fitted with Michelin disc wheels. Edited February 15, 2023 by Citroman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorfahrer Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 This technic was also used after WW II. Our lakes here in Carinthia were full of Germany ammunition dropped into the lakes by the British Forces to have it from the surface. Up to last years the ammunition disposal unit were diving before and after the summer season to get it back on the surface and dump it savely. I remember going out with the rowing boat and looking down to see the grenades, small arms ammunition crates and rifles in disintegrated wooden crates and trying to bring then up.

Blame my wife's grandfather, he was an area general manager in the Welsh coalfields and was seconded to the Royal Engineers to supervise the construction of the tunnels.

Citroman Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Well he might have been responsable for the tunnels but to abandon them . I heard also that a lot of miners (the French too) were happier to tunnel than to be in the trenches.
