martc Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yes definitely. On the Favorit not only do the instruments have PAL on them so dp all the light lenses. Nice find. PAL were the state owned combine that supplied auto-electrics to all the Czechoslovakian (and later Czech and Slovakian) motorised transport manufacturers from Jawa to Tatra. They still exist as PMP PAL and are now owned by Ashok Pirimal of India (I don't think its the same Ashok who own Optare and continues with the well known plughole logo though). PMP PAL now supply Nissan, Renault, Suzuki, Mercedes Benz, Smart, VW, John Deere as well as their old mukkas Skoda. capsuleboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 house builder in Surrey in 1956 That's gorgeous. I love things like that. It's amazing how little house layouts and proportions changed from the mid-50s to the mid 90's, then houses started to be properly crammed in on plots. I have all the brochures for houses on my parents' estate since construction began in 1986. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I had them on a Ventora I bought in 79. Kind of cool. Then.Aye, a popular cheap mod in the late 70s. I remember reading a Street Machine magazine article (possibly May 1980) where they fitted a jack-up kit to the white "Minder" Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport and took before-and-after times for swerving round a line of cones. The times were pretty much the same in the end but the handling felt absolutely shit with the jack-up kit fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Brilliant but it doesn't look like it was actually produced. Google Books shows the original source for that piece as the October 1962 issue of Popular Science and companycheck.co.uk shows that Carquad Limited was incorporated in January 1970 and is dissolved. That is the total extent of information that I can find about it. JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Torana Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I've never understood how you use a hand-powered drill press. Hand drills, breast drills, push drills, and brace-and-bit, certainly - they're all brilliant toys tools. But a hand press drill? Just don't get how you can work one without having three hands.

somewhatfoolish Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 You have to do it properly; 1. put a sharpened blank or scriber in the chuck.2. wind it down, place the scriber point in the centre punched mark of the desired hole position and apply pressure.3. clamp the work to the table.4. replace scriber with drill bit and start drilling.

JeeExEll Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 How about illuminated tyres? Goodyear tried this in 1961. The tyres were lit from 18 lamps within the wheel rim. Various colours of tyre too. Am not sure what that lady is doing with that coiled cord. adw1977, Matt, Sheefag and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
