Koehring had an agreement to build machines for Menck, it didn't last very long.
Cheers, Neil.

Wow! Love to see the early machines. While today's engineers refine systems and look for more efficiency, they are mostly just incorporating modern technology into designs that were thought up decades or even centuries ago. This is a classic.
Thanks for sharing the info.

I did find a parts book and operators manual on ebay, don't know if I'll ever build one.
But that pesky bucket list and too many buckets! LOL!
Cheers, Neil.
