John – I have in ,my possession a coil winder made by an eminent model engineer of his day – one Ernie Shaw. I worked with his son Martin who passed it to me long after his father had passed on.
If I remember the story correctly it was made for making coils to manufacture scale electric motors for a scale model tram as a result of differing opinions in the ME of the time of whether it could be done. Possibly pre war I would think. I believe it was a successful project and I think his main protagonist was none other that Edgar Westbury but you would need to see the ME's to verify that
My engineering days are coming to an end so if you would like it it's yours. It was given to me so the same goes – the only caveat that once you are finished with it I'd like to think you would pass it on to anyone similar should the same situation arise.
Send me a pm with your address if you are interested
Best – Tug
