Just some short clips of the little engine driving some tools - the dry cell battery was getting a bit low!

Thats gorgeous, I think that old electrical toys have a wonderful smell (sad!) like old Scalextric cars or model OO gauge trains. Work rather well that, i suppose they were made for Meccano or science experiments!

They look similar to the old trix motors!

The bakelite base on the motor is from another world, it reminds me of thing which were in my school physics lab, with heavy bases and bakelite knobs and switches!

Very interesting little setup, like the saw very much Laughing
Something aromatic about the smell of warm bakelite mixed with oil,
not quite as good as meths, steam & oil though Laughing
