Hi everybody, my name is Cristiano Zenato, I am an Italian engineer for the environment and the territory, and I have always had a passion for railway signals. I'm an independent researcher and I deal with the history and technique of Italian railway signaling systems. I am the contact person for the Railway Signaling section of the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, and I'm an external collaborator; I'm a collector and restorer of Italian railway signals, and my mission is to bring the finds to "new-from-factory" conditions by restoring them in their total functional operation. I kindly ask for a precious help from all the friends who read this post. I am desperately looking for a Westinghouse electric motor (powered at 10 Vdc) to be inserted in an italian "K-type" Westinghouse signal mechanism with electric , very common until the years 1930-1940 in Italy and Germany, as well as obviously in England. The patent for this device (number 15831) was filed in London on December 9, 1910. The last units of these Westinghouse "K" engines in Italy worked until the 1980s. Do you think there is any association in England where I can find this electric motor that I have been looking for for a long time but that I absolutely cannot find? Thanks in advance to all friends who want to interact with suggestions or information in this regard!
