This Air Electric Streamliner dates to 1938-39. Unique because the generator is inside the tail, very innovative and stylish for the 1930s. Cooling air travels through the generator and out vents in the back of the tail vane. Parts were sourced from 4 different states over many yrs with the exception of the nose cone. I gave up on finding an original so made it out of fiberglass. Prop is NOS with the original orange paint. Still has some of the factory wrapping paper stuck to it. It’s 32V 850W.

Nice! A new term non-deteriorating grease.

And it is fused to protect it against ALL unexpected contingencies.

Wonder how many farmers in 1930 knew what unexpected contingencies meant. This 2020 non farmer doesn't.
Dictionary: uncertain event
