and if you wave a little dab of it under their nostrils, it helps get
the kids out of your hair, as well.

Hi Bruce ~
I wasn't aware that the more common horizontal slide was available on
the A-250.
I don't actually know one way or the other, but I would have assumed
that the more commonly seen horizontal lever style wasn't used until
after the standardization following the factory fire and

This is the address I used to try and enter the site where I could see the
difference in the corners of the bedplate between new and old versions. Does
this look correct or is there a mistake in it. I would like to complete the
survey
Ok, that might explain my seeing one of these about 10 years ago about 10
miles from here in the home of another collector. It could well have been a
B-250, as I really didn't examine the model number, and just assumed that it
was like mine (an A-250), was the standardized mechanism the only
The photo page opens fine on my Thinkpad.
By the way, about this item :
11) Latest patent date on dataplate: 8-26-11 (Unsure of the 6 in 26).
8-26-11 was a Saturday, and most patents since 1848 have been issued on
Tuesdays, so either 8-22 or 8-29 would be more likely.
To see early vs.
Very interesting.
I would have to assume that because the later style horizontal-
sliding lever is attached via a pair of machine screws directly into
the motor plate casting, that this style of lever had to have been
used only on the post-fire B-250, since the A-series motor board

Hi Bruce (and all who are looking at the pictures):
The horn, crank and reproducer that you see on that web page are from
a different source, a different machine. (Not to make it confusing),
but they're there as part of the discussion about metal finishes,
unrelated to the A-250 thread.
