Ok. I'll bite. Ever see one of these? It mounts on end gate of Standard Model A. Carriage pushes adjustable screw, and leather brake stops mandrel!

Re: Babson Bros Automatic Stop for Edison standards
That was me selling the 'not exactly' repro brake. I took some liberties and changed the design a bit which are obvious in the photo posted by Tony K. After seeing this thread I went down to the basement and found my stock of the brake blanks. There's about 30 left. When I get a chance I'm going to experiment with making the upward bend on the part the wire attaches to.

Re: Babson Bros Automatic Stop for Edison standards
Tell me about it. Again today was another busy day. Working nights right now doesn't help cause I get up and basically head to work. Doesn't look like it would be hard to modify the blrakes you have to be used on the D-F machinesbob27556 wrote:Well, again another busy day lol I'll get to it eventually!
