vintage early 50's dyno

A buddy of mine picked up some parts from a vintage dyno. It had some newspapers from 1948 and 49. I have attached a photo of what the board looks like. He has not gone to get the rollers and motor mounts yet. I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me about this machine and what we should do with it. thanks-Jack

 

go to jockey journal. they are predominately 2 wheel guys that may have the ideas.

 

the one we have is for a car. this picture I found on th web looked like the same thing. thanks though

 

you did not say that.

 

set it up and start runnin some engines!

 

Are you guys prepared for a non-computerized machine that will not give you direct horse power readings-only torque? And are you sure you're looking at a chassis dyno ("rollers") or are you looking at an engine dyno ("Motor Mounts") ?

 

It actually has a motor stand and rollers. I wasn't sure if anybody out there had one they needed parts or wanted to restore it. I do not have room for all that. It's pretty cool looking though

 

This one is from Triumph factory.
