You never tell us too much information. If too much is given the viewer can stop watching. In seven years of watching that hasn't happened yet. Thank you Sir.
My father was born in 1906 and spent his life as a fix-it man. I have one of these which I found in his toolbox. Thank you so much for explaining to me what the use was and especially the disassembly.
I've never had a proper shop class unfortunately. Your videos are great to catch up on the education that i've missed. I enjoy making new things as well as fixing them. Thank you for doing this. I hope the production brings you as much pleasure as my consumption of your content.
Mr. Pete I found one of those Starrett tools at a flea market in Maine and thought it was very cool. When the vendor told me what it was and did I then thought it was VERY COOL and immediately thought of my dad using this tool for he was a machinist. I could picture him in my mind using this tool at Grant Gear in Boston when he help make tank gears or at the H.K.Porter plant also in Boston making their tools in the 60s and 70s! I even saw this tool in a 1927 Chase,Parker and Co.,Inc. Machinists catalog for as much as $3.60 with a leather case! They even sold my dads H.K.Porter tools and replacement parts as well! Finding a catalog like this which has so many connections to my dad's career and talent is PRICELESS! Thank you sir for being on UA-cam and showing me what my dad did. Oh one final point of interest that Ford plant you showed us, well next to the H.K.Porter plant was a Ford plant who I'm sure had some Grease Monkeys!!!
A late as 1982, we used a speed indicator when doing the annual pump test, on the fire engine/pumper. A class "A" engine had to pump 250 gals. per minute at a specific speed. So it took three firemen to do the test, one to read the dial, one to watch the clock, one to run the engine speed. Always enjoy and look forward to your videos! Thanks again.
I enjoyed every bit of this. When I was a kid in the late '60s and early 70's we used to go to giant flea markets as a past time, and I'd pick up this kind of gadget for next to nothing. But of course, I would disassemble and guess what each one was for - this one one of the gadgets. Fellow viewers need to appreciate that there was no internet, and. one certainly couldn't just search the patent office database, and so on. So unless you knew someone who could tell you, they were just mysteries...
Mr. Pete, I've used many different types of tachometers. All of them electronic. NONE of them were as cool as yours. The disassembly was great too. Thanks.
Don’t worry about the extensive details. I enjoy learning about these tools I have never seen. I understand what it is and what its for but the design is very interesting to me. Very smart people, many years ago designed these things. I find it all interesting. Thank you and keep it coming. I enjoy your videos.
Thanks a lot for your good knowledge and videos you share with us Mr.Pete ,much appreciation and respect Mr.Pete,coming from one of your students from Trinidad and Tobago,a Caribbean country.GOD bless you.
These "inside the cover" videos really help me understand some of the other things I run across. I can understand better what I'm looking at. Thank you. I really enjoyed it!
I'd have to agree here, it's pretty clear a second shoe is missing as - if they'd simply changed the design - the other side would just be a blind hole for the back end of the spring to butt against..
Thank you sir for showing this. I inherited my dad’s tool boxes with tools like this. He was a machine builder in Michigan in the late 60s and into the 80s when he retired
Well thanks for sharing this. I received one in a box of my Grandpa's old stuff that my father had. Couldn't figure out what it was until I ran across your video. Mine is missing the original box and the handle. But at least I know what it is. Now I can start looking for a replacement for it. Thank you for solving the mystery. Enjoy watching your videos.
I thought I had one of these but it turns out I decided in favor of an old "Jones Motorola" tachometer in perfect condition. Learnin' with Mr. Pete -- a better time was never had.
Great video, really enjoyed it. Those old guys, older than us, were pretty smart. The old machine shops were amazing, and noisy. Note the line shaft was probably driven by a steam engine.
Now I know what it is and how to use it.... my grandfather had one and now it's mine.....btw you generally show just the right amount of info.... better to give more than not enough
As do people I talk to in life and not just on the PC. God doesn’t want us to have pride but you can always be tickled to be known like that. I always say it is Gods knowledge he allowed one to learn and borrow. Something to be thankful for!
@@AldoSchmedack When you say "God", WHOSE "God"? IE: Is it the god that the muslims worship or the god those who call themselves "Jews"worship. Or is it the god that the Hindus worship? Or those who worship "Buddha? Etc, etc, and ETCETERRRRA? Huh? OR...is it Jesus who is the ONLY true God there is, or ever will be? Huh? And IF you believe in Jesus, WHY do you; and untold Christians; hide him under the generic term "God"? Huh?
Once again, very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to show us. I know you spend a lot of time on these projects & filming Thank you & please keep up the amazing work. Randy from S. Illinois
Hi Lyle, I have one of those which belonged to my grand father. Have no idea what brand. He died in 1943, so it's quite old. His is all metal with the butterfly shaped handle as others you had in your collection. He worked with steam driven bucket pumps, which were converted to electric after he died. It's amazing the tools that were developed to do specific jobs or provide information, and as you showed what has replaced them, and in time they to will be replaced. It's also interesting to see the prices, but that would have been quite expensive back in the 1920's. Thanks for a most interesting video. It's interesting to see how things work and what's inside.
Thanks for showing how it works. I recently started using a free “Strobe Light Tachometer” app on my iPhone. It uses the camera flash on your phone as a strobe that you adjust until you stop the motion of a sharpie Mark on the rotating part. Give it a try.
A fascinating video! Thanks for going into so much detail - you never give too much for those who love to learn! It would have been great to have your as a teacher in class. Your passion for what you enjoy is what makes your videos so addicting! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video mrpete. I don't know about others, but I watch from beginning to end. You videos are entertaining, and very educational. People will be watching your videos long after we are gone. See you next time!
We used a similar speed counter when testing fire department pumpers. To be within acceptable tolerences, the pumps had to be able to produce a certain pressure and gallons per minute at a given pump rpm. A pitot gauge in the nozzle stream measured the pressure, and the diameter of the nozzle was used to calculate the gpm.
I had it the other way round with a 1947 Avia gents watch, the seller said it needed a new battery and I paid £4 for it. The fitted rolled gold Excalibur expanding bracelet was prob worth a lot more than what I paid for it and it keeps astonishingly good time. Some movements do have budget parts from Swiss companies, Harley Ronda do a "budget" quartz movement which has no jewels and isn't serviceable based on the higher quality movements which have jewelled pivots and are serviceable.
Thanks for you efforts even if You think it might be boring,for I believe that erroneous who watch’s your videos walks away a little more informed. Thanks again. MrDee
I've heard the term Grease Monkey for years but never had a clue that was where it came from. Keep up the good work. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks, Nathan
That was a slick idea to attach the small magnet to the jewelers screwdriver to hold thos tiny screws, always pick up some trick or tip from each video, you do a great job with each subject Tubalcain.
I'm finding as I get older I appreciate more and more vintage stuff. I could use a £3 multimeter but I use a 1967 Cropico NormaTest instead, it works just as well if not a little more involved than the £3 Chinese device but the fact its still accurate nearly 53 years later says a lot about its making and I bought it because I was tired flushing money down the drain on cheapo Chinese meters. My oldest working tool is a French 1903 voltmeter but its so fragile I have wrapped it in tissue paper and its put away, I have some WW2 King Dick girder wrenches which I use almost constantly again highlighting the almost perfect production process that allows these to work decades later as well as they left the workshop.
In that condition it is a nice collectors item. I've never run across one that nice. But it is nice now to have electronic speed indicators on my old machines.
Love all your videos Mr. Pete. Unless that handle has a threaded plastic insert also then that handle is not isolated electrically. Just having a fiber washer does not mean insulated.
I'm picturing using one of these along with the countdown timer on my phone. Set for a minute (or 30 seconds), and set the speed indicator *before* zero. Apply the indicator, and when it clicks onto 0, start timer. When timer pings, pull indicator off. Now you don't need to look at your watch (it's done by ear) and can set the phone down on the bench. New tech making old tech more useful.
Wonderfull stuff Lyle, was hoping you would show us how it worked from when you first showed it, as i've never seen one before, and nice detailed showing of it's inside, im guessing there were two shoes, one probably sprung out never to be seen again by someone havng it apart before. And you most definitly are not saying or showing to much, many thanks.
Interesting to see the mechanism in this model with the ratchet counter. I have a Starrett with the little raised dimples on the static and rotating discs. The patent dates stamped on it are April 13th 1897 and also March 28th 1905. It has the black Bakelite handle.
Timex, As John Cameron Swayze would say, It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. But I digress, what I found interesting was that same engineering technology to drive the dials, is use in reverse to drive the oil pump on a Stihl chain saw.......Excellent Vid.
Very interesting. Thanks for making the video. Mr. Brown and Mr. Sharpe are probably rolling in their graves knowing that you used Mr. Starrett’s oil on their instrument. Love the old machine shop photos.
hmmmm not sure what to say about a little speed dohicky, but it's sure interesting to know how hard them fellas back in the day had it, it had to be rough in those factories, hot and bothered and steamy as hell, no wonder those workers were skinny minnies walkin around........ well thanx for sharing and as always, We enjoy the videos here.....
I could be wrong Lyle; but I believe there must be two "shoes" to make this tool precise. I also believe the (open) spring has galled the drum. I could, of course, be wrong.
Mr Pete have you ever been in a mfg. plant that used those over head drives.I have been in 2 about 45 years ago, one made heels & counter, counter is the stiff part at back of a shoe the other made labels that was sew in shirt or pants both plants were old brick building with huge wood beams. Loved the pictures.
Thanks Mr. Pete! Great as always! I love pocket watches... unfortunately I fed them to the washer and dryer a long time ago. The light tink tink tink as I walked up to the dryer was heartbreaking :-(. I still have a few. Don't use them lately, I always have the cell in my pocket. 🖖
Where can I find (or can you post) the link for the instructions that came with the #748???? I just found a rusty one with the original “wooden handle” (no rubber accessories), and the wooden case is burned.... I’ve completely cleaned and restored the indicator and it works perfectly.... but I can’t find any “paperwork” that would have come with it when it was new all those years ago.
3:34 there's the truth of it. Ford had a goon squad to suppress any opposition in the workforce. My grandfather was an early organizer for the UAW at Ford and the Ford goons threw one of his neighbors off a bridge. BTW, when did you get a Hardinge lathe? I remember the Logan and Atlas. And, for the record, you are as sharp as a tack, not a bumbling old fool, and yes, we are all still watching!
The plastic washer alone would not insulate the handle, it must be part of a plastic nut in the handle. The other brake shoe may have been removed to lesson the friction because it was slipping with someones use. Ron W4BIN
Mr. Pete, please forgive me for laughing at your attempt to wind the quartz/made with Swiss parts/watch...if for no other reason than I, too, am equally-guilty of such. I mean, it's just an-ingrained habit, from(our)pasts...! ☺
My dad gave me an old Goodell-Pratt revolution counter. It doesn't have the little windows. The only thing that moves is an inner ring that has a little nib on it. The outer scribed numbers seem to be in the case and do not rotate. How would you read this one? There are no model or paten numbers on it. I think there is one in your picture with all of them that is in the far left corner.
mrpete222 I’ll give it a shot If you give me the radius of the arc along with the width and the max thickness of the shoe. Heck, I’ll even make a video. Can’t promise perfection, but I’ll give you my best effort. Chris

Seems like you would want two brake shoes, because as it is with one, the end of the spring is wearing a gouge in the drum.
Maybe one was lost along the way
I'd have to agree here, it's pretty clear a second shoe is missing as - if they'd simply changed the design - the other side would just be a blind hole for the back end of the spring to butt against..
Ditto.
@@mrpete222 I'm sure YOU could make another one and we could all watch you make it in another video!
I love the detail that you put into everything. Most people just brush past the interesting parts. Nice picture's

Interesting to see the mechanism in this model with the ratchet counter. I have a Starrett with the little raised dimples on the static and rotating discs. The patent dates stamped on it are April 13th 1897 and also March 28th 1905. It has the black Bakelite handle.
Timex, As John Cameron Swayze would say, It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. But I digress, what I found interesting was that same engineering technology to drive the dials, is use in reverse to drive the oil pump on a Stihl chain saw.......Excellent Vid.

Thanks for another great video and instruction!
Thanks
hmmmm not sure what to say about a little speed dohicky, but it's sure interesting to know how hard them fellas back in the day had it,

hot and bothered and steamy as hell,
no wonder those workers were skinny minnies walkin around........
well thanx for sharing and as always, We enjoy the videos here.....
Great video thank's for showing so much detail
Thanks
I could be wrong Lyle; but I believe there must be two "shoes" to make this tool precise. I also believe the (open) spring has galled the drum. I could, of course, be wrong.
Staying in time, with Tubalcain.
Mr Pete have you ever been in a mfg. plant that used those over head drives.I have been in 2 about 45 years ago, one made heels & counter, counter is the stiff part at back of a shoe the other made labels that was sew in shirt or pants both plants were old brick building with huge wood beams.

3:34 there's the truth of it. Ford had a goon squad to suppress any opposition in the workforce. My grandfather was an early organizer for the UAW at Ford and the Ford goons threw one of his neighbors off a bridge.

The plastic washer alone would not insulate the handle, it must be part of a plastic nut in the handle.
The other brake shoe may have been removed to lesson the friction because it was slipping with someones use. Ron W4BIN
I believe you are correct.
Take apart the other B & S tools and see if there are two of the brake shoes in them. That would be interesting to know.
JIM
I only have the one brown and sharp. I think I will repair it
Mr Pete, that fiber washer does not insulate that tool. Be careful! Really like your videos!
Yes it does you only saw part of it
"Am I showing you too much" well, my stress is based on wondering if you can reassemble it properly. LOL

Mr. Pete, please forgive me for laughing at your attempt to wind the quartz/made with Swiss parts/watch...if for no other reason than I, too, am equally-guilty of such. I mean, it's just an-ingrained habit, from(our)pasts...! ☺
lol
My dad gave me an old Goodell-Pratt revolution counter. It doesn't have the little windows. The only thing that moves is an inner ring that has a little nib on it. The outer scribed numbers seem to be in the case and do not rotate. How would you read this one? There are no model or paten numbers on it. I think there is one in your picture with all of them that is in the far left corner.
Regarding the drive belts, interesting to see "The Woods" in a real shop. Mr Pete is also a historian!
Thanks
Love your video's and you never say too much, but I can't believe you were not using a Starrett jewelers screwdriver
lol
How many speed counters are too many? Mr. Pete has a plethora of speed counters!
11 is too Manny
Making another brake shoe would be a good project.
Don’t hold your breath for that
mrpete222 I’ll give it a shot If you give me the radius of the arc along with the width and the max thickness of the shoe. Heck, I’ll even make a video. Can’t promise perfection, but I’ll give you my best effort. Chris
