Re: Pat’d 1892 Salisbury’s Electric Boat Propeller

I’ll just add that from an antique motor and historical perspective, in my tiny little mind this would rank as one of the most important and significant discoveries for a member of the AOMCI in many many years, and I wonder if many people who read this post actually realize that without it being pointed out. It is right up there with the recovery of the air-cooled Waterman Porto that happened back in 2006.

I hope you would consider leaving the motor in as-found condition. As the oft-used (but many times ignored) saying goes, "they are only original once".

Best,

He's livin' in his own private Idaho..... I hope to go out quietly in my sleep, like my grand-dad did..... and not screaming, like the passengers in his car...
