1910 Automotive Drawings For Sale
|
Have for sale (2) original ink drawings of the first production steering
gear system the Gemmer model "O" worm and roller steering gear.
Gemmer Manufacturing Co. Of Detroit, Mich. originated in 1907 as
as an engine manufacturer before deciding to build steering gear
systems. In 1910 they produced the model "O" steering gear. The
first drawing is the original sales drawing that the salesmen ran
blueprints of to take to potential auto companies to sell there steering
gear systems. The second drawing is the original production drawing
of the 1910 Colby Motor Car steering gear assembly. The Colby Motor
car was built in Mason City, Iowa where one is on display there in the
Kinney Pioneer Museum. These drawings are hand drawn ink on rag
vellum paper and are "D" size 24" X 36" and are in excellent condition.
In 1939 the Gemmer Gear Co. had a fire that destroyed all records;
these are the only original vintage drawings that survived the fire.
The Gemmer building although in poor condition, still stands in
Detroit, Michigan today. Gemmer produced steering systems for
Major auto companies still known today as well as many others of
yesteryears gone by. Gemmer gear was acquired by TRW Ross Gear
Co. Of Lafayette, Indiana in 1956 and is still a leader in the industry.
