    1908 camel back tricar fan

    I'm making good progress on my big valve hacksaw single powered tricar project. Listed in the 1908 catalog is a fan attachment for $20.00 extra. Has anyone ever seen this item? I have a large delivery van box on the front and the fan would help in cooling the engine. And for sure would be COOL! Any info would be appreciated . Thanks Phil

    This is of no help, but I recall seeing a Spake engine with a fan attachment. The owner said it was intended for a cyclecar, or buckboard application.

      No picture that I could find, but this old copy of Motorcycles Illustrated c. 1912 has some information on fans used on vans and trikes, etc.

      I'll see if my Google-fu skills are strong tonite...

        This is distilled from an AMCA forum post c. 2005. Between Mike Carver and "Adminguy." Must have been the moderator back then.

        If you can find a copy of the 1910 #8B Indian parts list book (very nice reprint by Don Emde) at the very back on pp 95 and 96 part #14000 "Fan complete with attachment for twin cylinder machine . . $20.00"

        Here are some of the parts listed:

        14005... Fan only...$3.00
        14010... Fan guard complete... $3.00
        14040... Fan shaft and explosion head connecting brace...$1.00
        14060... Fan upper pulley...$1.00
        14115...Motor base pinion gear...$2.00
        14120...Motor base pinion gear shaft...$0.50

        This is only a partial list and all are listed under the fan assembly ... there are 33 part numbers!

        So is there a digital copy of the parts book on the AMCA forum archive? Or does someone have the reprint above? That will show you what you are looking for, methinks.

        Google-Fu is strong tonite!!

        Cheers,

        PS... no pictures yet. But I still have some places to look.
