I would like some info on the Trippe models as well. I have a pair that have a different mount system on the housing and I have no idea what they fit.

Hasn't changed much!:)

Mike, on a side note I know that there was a manufacturing plant in Black Mountain that supplied wood parts to Packard at some point in time. Maybe you'll run across some info while you're looking. Also there was Sawyer Motor on Coxe Ave. but I think they were only a Studebaker dealer.

In the distributor/dealer list from about 1940 it shows the dealer in Asheville to be F&G Motors at 21 N. Market St.
The distributor was C.W. Upchurch in Charlotte which actually stayed in business up until the 60's.

My work area is too unorganized to have a computer in and I prefer taking a break and going inside to do my research.

After spending a fortune on ink cartridges for my business use printer I learned (many years ago) that an inkjet printer was a huge waste of money.
I bought a Brother HL1440 laser (b&w) at one of the office stores in about 2000 and with a rebate cost me less than $150. It has been 100% trouble free and cost me nothing for years of use. I would never use an inkjet even if it was free.
If you don't have the need for color it's crazy not to buy a laser.

A 3D scanner with no size limitation. Amazing that you can get that technology for $3k.

I ran across a 36 and even though it's a 120 it might give you some thought.
Just keep the six and go for this "boost"

Hi Mathias, you should be able to "copy" the image (right click) to your computer and magnify.
