Motor Units Coventry Roller

[vandt]

Does anyone know of one of these in a collection? We have recently purchased one, with some parts missing, and would like to see an original one to enable us to make a drawing of the parts so that we can manufacture replacements. Specifically the linkages that disengage half of the drive roller acting as a differential. Many thanks. Richard

Very nice example, not seen so often these days, they were sold in 3 different sizes and were mostly used for rolling footpaths. I think Beamish Museum have examples if that helps.

Motor Units Coventry Roller was owned by the Singer Motor Company of Coventry, I have some literature which I am happy to scan for you if you PM me.
I know someone that has one in Leamington Spa and will ask him if he is happy to be contacted.

Frankton, I’ve tried to pm you, but the page says I need to be a paid up member, which I recently became. We are very interested in any information have. As soon as the website recognises me as paid, I’ll send you my email address.
We have been in contact with Richard, from Leamington, who has roller. Thanks.
