Kees, hopefully we’ll both learn something. They must have made quite
a few of them. Believe I read something that the US government used them
down in the Panama Canal. Can you post a photo of yours?

It wasn’t the Government using Wisconsin motors in the Panama Canal.
Rather, they were displayed in the Panama – Pacific Worlds Fair
in San Fransico, in 1915. It was suppose to be to celebrate the completion
of the Panama Canal, but was more about SF getting over the Great Earthquate
of 1906.
Prepare to be boarded!
