The Starrett corporation has continuously expanded through its history through the patenting of products and takeovers of other manufacturers. In 1878 Laroy S. Starrett invented and patented the first combination square, [4] and in 1880 he founded the L.S. Starrett Company in Athol, Massachusetts, in order to produce it and other precision ...
The Hucks starter (invented by Bentfield Hucks during WWI) is a mechanical replacement for the ground crew. Based on a vehicle chassis the device uses a clutch driven shaft to turn the propeller, disengaging as the engine starts. A Hucks starter is used regularly at the Shuttleworth Collection for starting period aircraft. [3]
The Coffman engine starter (also known as a "shotgun starter") was a starting system used on many piston engines in aircraft and armored vehicles of the 1930s and 1940s. It used a cordite cartridge to move a piston, which cranked the engine.
An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.
A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. It is normally attached directly to the starter motor which it controls. Its primary function is as the actuating coil of a contactor (a relay designed for large electric currents) which connects the battery to the starter ...
A NACA Hucks starter set up to start a Vought VE-7 A Hucks starter connected to start the engine of a Hawker Nimrod A Ford Model T-based Hucks starter owned by the Shuttleworth Collection A Hucks starter is an auxiliary power unit, almost always a lorry or truck , that provides initial power to start up piston aircraft engines .
A magnetic starter has a contactor and an overload relay, which will open the control voltage to the starter coil if it detects an overload on a motor. [1] [2] The overload relay opens a set of contacts that are wired in series with the supply to the contactor feeding the motor. The characteristics of the heaters can be matched to the motor so ...
Starting a Lazair II ultralight aircraft's JPX PUL 425 engine, equipped with a recoil starter. A rope start device housed in a Nose bullet of a Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet.. Rope start (also called ripcord [citation needed], pull start [citation needed], or rewind start [citation needed]) is a method of starting an internal combustion engine, usually on small machines, such as lawn mowers ...
