Re: Saxograph lathe
Nice Find!! WOW!!!! The Clamp Looks very Poltz Freres-ish but does it have the Dual Motor?? Curious in Case it's a Re-Badged Poltz Freres?? MMMmmm???
Re: Saxograph lathe
Possibly German?? Erde = Earth or Ground in "die deutsche Sprache" The other terminals are similarly German Terms
Re: Saxograph lathe
Yes that's the thing I do know - that it's german and made by the company rudolf reim, possibly in the 1940s
Google has very little on "saxograph"

Re: Saxograph lathe
Check out this Mechanical Motor Speed Regulator It operates on a Centrifugal Spring Tensioner which controls an "Air Vane" within the Dual Motor. There could be a missing lever on this lathe of yours??? The Lever Graduation Plate Marks do look to be the same as on this Poltz Freres though

I'm also seeing some similarities with the Poltz Freres "Disc Clamp" on the Platter but can't quite tell from your Photo. Here's clearer Photos of the Clamp from a Poltz Freres. From what little I know about the Saxograph is that it was possibly a German "Recorder" used for recording commentary akin to the UK MSS "Midget" from around the same period??

Re: Saxograph lathe
thanks!
It it exactly the same clamp
ok so maybe it was more or less the same machine. However I can not find any info when I google "Poltz Freres"
