Does anyone here know what the Ford Service Station Starter/Generator test stand is?
I am looking for a manual for it. Will post a picture tomorrow. Thanks, Dan.

Dan,
Do you need the manual for the tester pictured?
I have a 3 manuals for this tester and I would be glad to copy it for you.
It will take a day or two. There’s several pages.
Let me know.

One manual won’t post.
This is a Fairbanks Morse unit.
Here’s a photo of one at a Ford Factory in use setting up starters and generators.
If you look at the left side of the photo you will see the first version of this tester with a wood legged base.
Ford used these in the factory.

Yes, they are shown in the service bulletins for December 1st of 1919.
I’ll work on the scan tomorrow.
