From the green book.....

Challenge 24. Came out in 1924,open back-geared windmill. with main, and crank gear shafts encased within oil reservoirs forming part mof the main castings. Roller bearings.

There is some literature and a picture or 2 available. After 1925, no mention of it any more.

Auction ends in couple of weeks, it's an on line auction. Would like to get it. We will see, most of the time everyone has more money than me. J D

Is it possible to get better pics to see if the hubs are there

Don't believe the shaft and hubs at there.

Here are a few photos of my challenge 24. Looks like it might be the same.
