As I work on my goal of getting all my non running locos running I have been pulling
various things out of boxes. This is a motor that I believe is from an aluminum Zephyr
from the late 20's/early 30's. In the first pic you can see the reversing unit which mechanical.
You can use the move the lever at the bottom to change direction.
The unit is supposed to also operate automatically thru some levers and bell cranks, some how
actuated by the magnetism in the field. As you can see, I put this aside for some (obvious) reason.
I have two issues here, one is the
wiring. My first thought is to just wire things to where they logically appear to go and see
what happens. This leaves me with two loose wires, one which I think is the headlight.
The other may be for a light in the baggage compartment?
The other issue is how does the auto reverse work?
Thanks, John
