What is the differences between an early Edison Suite Case Home crank and an Edison Standard 2-Clip Machine crank ?
Is the knob more slender on the Standard? Pictures of each correct one would be helpful.
Thanks so much in advance.
Stay Safe, Bob

Here are both cranks. You can see that the Edison Suitcase Home crank (top) is much shorter where it goes into the case than the Edison 2-Clip Standard crank (bottom).

Got it. And a skinner knob.
Or can it also have a bigger knob like the A Long Box home?

Re: EARLY EDISON CRANKS
No, the suitcase Standard cranks have the skinnier knob. The shank that meets the winding shaft of the motor is also slightly smaller in diameter on the Suitcase Standard cranks. That's why the slightly later cast slip-on cranks will wobble a little on a suitcase Standard.studebakerphonos wrote:Got it. And a skinner knob.
