There have been a few new arrivals at the Office of Steam.
I will try to add photos of each with this thread. It is time to catch up.

Here is a set of Langes Legetoy tools complete with the electric motor.

These are the tools that the Jensen 100 pieces were scaled up from. Mr J got permission to use the design and scaled them up about 1/3 larger.

It is a shame that Jensen didnt copy the entire line as ten there would be more fun toys to play with.
THose are real nice, I think an excellent addition to any collection.

Les Marsh

They look really nice, well done.
And I notice the lineshaft is designed to run them all.

Griffin

Very nice collection there, I notice the drill press has the brass pulley on the stub for the drive to come in at a low level.

Here is a real interesting Jensen with a special history. This was a collaborative effort with a former general manager of Jensen and the fellow who developed the #15BL generator for Jensen.

It is a prototype/testbed for the Jensen 55G Deluxe. It has a few neat features:

1) special 2 piece chimney of heavy guage brass fitted over a solid brass post fixed to the top of the standard pressed steel chimney mounting stub.

2) steam line tee'd into the center between the 2 cylinders which allowed for.....

3) steam cylinder lubricator cups.

4) twin exhaust stacks.

5) protoype #15 BL generator #2

6) all mounted on a nicely routered and finished solid oak base.

7) as a stand alone or to swap onto the machine, prototype #15 BL generator #1.

Both generators are labeled and initialed on the bottom side.

Gil

Note the 2 differrent sized ball bearings on the prototype generators.

Les Marsh

That is very nice, thankyou for showing us.

Sandman

Jeez Gill impressive stuff.

That Jensen must be worth a fortune.

What an acquisition.

johnreid

Those twin exhaust stacks are more than cool, that is just about the most impressive Jensen yet.

Great collection of tools and a one of a kind Jensen.

Where do you find these things Gil

I don't recall seeing them on e bay. Do you do a lot of private sales?

You certainly seem to have some excellent connections.

Regards,

Nick

Looks great Gil!

I was lucky enough to get a "heads up" about you getting the Jensen and generators,
as they were from the same seller as my riveted 25 and my 10.

Someone asked where you find these deals, I found out about my two from that same guy, by
asking him a question about one of his ebay auctions. I kept emailing him and found out he had more.

It pays to ask questions.

Here is a short video of my recently acquired Jensen #55 test bed engine with
prototype #2 ball bearing generator (15BL).
It had enough speed and power to roast 2 fresh bulbs in short order.
Watch it pick up even more speed when the bulb quits.
