It used the same push-pull motor that was used on the early horned machines, both front mount and rear mount. This one pictured used the later pillar and plate motor.I have both versions. I believe Columbia imported these motors from Germany around 1912 until 1914. These motors were used in the inexpensive Grafoniolas , Disk Graphophones, and Client machines.

Thanks Harvey. I'd like to see photos of both these models if you could find time. Seems Columbia had their hands in quite a number of machines back in the day........
