    Receiving this kind of collection sort of marks a transition towards being a more serious museum, with an emphasis on institutional memory, rather than just a collection of random stuff (not that there was anything wrong with that). It will be very interesting to see how the museum evolves. It wouldn't surprise me if there are many companies that find themselves in a similar position in the coming decades.

    The mechanical Tachs starting at around 9:50 are very, very useful. Jaquet made more then one type, including flyweight and timer types. They are general purpouse for use measuring ahsft speeds on motors, transmissions, machinery, etc. Usually with a set of contact tipe for getting into a 60degree machined center on a dhaft, and often with rollers for measuring surface speed (conveyor belt and the like) I still use them. The flyweight type direct read and can show speed variation, the timer type time for six seconds (usually) with a mechanical clock that engages and disengages a clutch for th eindicator, giving an average over the timing period. The timer type are VERY accurate if maintained like a fine mechanical watch. I first used them with large, low speed engines, where the speed varies during each rotation. They were a distinct upgrade from the pure rotation counter used with a pocket watch from the 19thcty into WW-II. Jaquet sold them under their name, as well as supplied them to others with different labeling, such as Herman Sticht in the US

      Also those types of tachometers wind up the clock mechanism by using it. Which is super smart, and means that pressing it without using it can wind it down.

      Timer type tachos are still used on locomotives! I like them for their distinctive rhythmicity. They provide tachograms to waxed paper as well as speed-dependent circuit switching.

    This translation might sound a bit weird in some places because the source does as well... ;)
    I tried to correct logical errors as good as I can.
    Electro Polygraph 662
    The drive unit contains the synchronous motor with starting capacitor and a change-over gear for 5 different paper speeds.
    The connection terminal for the mains cable with ground wire is located on one of the PCBs on the side. On the other is a switch for switching the motor on and off, an electrical switch for forward and reverse gear and a button for operating the step gear.
    If the knob is turned slightly clockwise, it can be pushed in or out. The numbers engraved on the push bar indicate the selected gear.
    Level 1 2 3 4. 5
    Paper speed 0.05 0.5 5 50 100 mm/sec
    The two rollers for the paper are located outside the gear box and can be removed from their bearings. The smooth flange can be removed in order to place the supply roll on the roller or to remove the rewound paper from the rewinding roller.
    The rollers must be inserted in such a way that the toothed flange engages with the protruding gear wheel of the gearbox.
    The drive unit is symmetrical. The paper runs from the supply roll over the inclined plane, is driven by the driving shaft arranged in the apex and runs again over an inclined plane to the take-up roll. The two inclined guide plates can be opened so that the various bearings can be conveniently oiled. The motor and the electrical circuit are located under the insulation cover (be careful with removed cover - 220 volts!).
    The drive roller is in two parts so that the drive pins can be adapted to the holes in the paper. The recording paper is inserted with the cover removed. However, the motor should only be switched on after the cover has been screwed on, as the two springs that are attached to the edge of the cover
    [Illustration]
    Electro Polygraph Type No. 662
    of the drive shaft are attached to the cover. The cover is a box-shaped housing containing the recording magnets. It is fitted in such a way that its two lateral slots fit under the knurled screw knobs with which it is fixed to the drive unit. On the rear side are the connection terminals for wires or banana plugs, a common positive pole (red) and a separate negative pole for each magnet for an operating voltage of 12 or 24 volts DC. The writing levers with the writing tips protrude from the front. Each recorder can be lifted off the paper individually and there is also a swivelling bracket with which all recorders can be lifted off at the same time.
    This makes it possible to first use only one half of the recording magnets, then, with the recorders raised, switch off the paper feed and let the strip run backwards, after which the remaining recording magnets are used to record in the second pass. The high speed of 100 mm/sec can be switched on for the reverse run.
    However, it is not recommended to pass the paper through more than twice in forward motion, as otherwise the perforations may be damaged.
    There is no special time recorder, as the drive by means of a synchronous motor and stepped gearing makes time marking unnecessary. However, it is possible to feed one of the recording magnets with the periodic interrupter No. 654, page 10, and thus record time stamps.
    Maximum frequency
    100 pulses/sec
    Dimensions: 26 cm long, 19 cm wide (with slide gate inserted) 20 cm high.
    The electro-polygraph comes in a pouch. The electro-polygraph is supplied in 2 types, which differ in the number of recording magnets.
    The motor voltage T10 or 220 volts, 50 periods is to be specified in each case. Magnet voltage 12 or 24 volts direct current.
    No. 662 Electro-polygraph with 12 magnets;
    Weight with pouch: approx. 11 kg.
    No. 663 Electro-polygraph with 6 magnets;
    Weight with pouch: approx. 10 kg.
    No. 664 Paraffinised paper, 12 cm wide, in rolls of approx. 50 m length.

    The stroboscopic tachometer is a non contact one. You look through the device aiming a rotating object. You adjust the stroboscopic frequency till the object appears static and then you have a readout of the rotating frequency. You don't need a spot or sticker like for modern ones that give digital readings. You have to be careful, the readout can be double or half the actual speed.

    • @agurdel
      @agurdel 9 месяцев назад

      No idea what it is, but I can read german, so here is my guesswork from the labeling. First of: It has a setup and a treatment mode. "Manschettenfüllung": It uses some kind of pressure cuff/sleeve. Also has knobs for "pressure", "pressure begin", "pressure length" and "pulse wave". The dial indicator in the middle is in mmHg in the blood pressure range. So its a treatment device that uses some kind of pulsed pressure to affect the blood circulation. I'm thinking for example a full leg cuff that inflates and deflates to pressures you setup in the device to support/improve blood circulation.
      /edit shouldnt have stopped before the "head devices"...
