Window Winder Gearbox

Another challenge!

I call this type of winding system "Newman Gear".
It's just a generic name I use, as that was the first
type I came across. 

There were many other companies that did this type
of thing and one of the component parts came to me
earlier on this year.

There were several on the site but one of these was missing.
This job was to create another one.

This was the result.

The completed item, ready to be fitted.

New lock case.

This was something a bit different!

Key was lost, an attempt was made to drill it and 
therefore be able to open the door and when that
failed, out came the big hammer.
As you can see, it was a bit of a mess.

A new case was made, from solid aluminium, the
lock had new leaves and 3 keys supplied, the plate
was straitened and fettled and some new/old
handles were fitted, to keep the look of the period.

Primed, ready for installation and painting. 

I even fitted Whitworth slotted screws, to keep it as 
authentic as possible.

More stuff, next time.
