Oh,good, I was afraid it was some new wrench collecting disorder like WADD* or something, oh, wait, it *is* a wrench disorder....sigh




*Wrench Attention Deficit Disorder - The inability to concentrate on general tasks when old rusty wrenches are nearby.

1930, is Essex part of that mix also?

I dont know anything about Essex, why would you ask though?

I went back to edit my original post, I wrote not part, I guess I must have been going in a different direction and then made a R turn

Essex automobiles, were part of the H-E-T mfg.  Hudson, which goes back to the early part of the century and continued on til 1958, Essex  was the lightweight automobile, built by Hudson, then Terraplane was brought out in the 1930s, full of innovation, more powerful, all steel, and the one I rode in was a tight, impressive car.

Essex was part of a grouping, as John pointed out, but I was not sure of which.

I have read that parts used on the Essex came from or are very similar to DB family cars of the same era.    Much like early Ford T's used some DB parts from the factory.  Axles and such.
As I have no personal experiences working on any car earlier than 1970 I thought it worth the asking.

I understood what the Essex was I just was wondering where the correlation between the two was. I have never heard of any interchangeable parts between Essex and D.B.

Wolverine, Night, Hup and more I am sure but never Essex.

BTW the early  Model Ts did not use some D.B parts but were in fact all D.B except the glass, tires and a few other things I am not thinking of right now.

Thank you Sir, cool tidbit of info on the early Fords.   I read Mr. Dodge was a 10% investor in Henry's dream at the beginning but never knew much more.

If it werent for Dodge there may never have been a Ford and if it werent for Ford there may never have been a Dodge. No problem, glad to share

Now its my turn to share a bit.

My SAE decimal/AF British Eagles and my measly Whitworth stuff.

Any idea who made the Eagle branded wrenches? (snail?)

[strik9]

There are no tiny markings or odd letters or numbers on them.   I too was hoping for a neat logo or a link to a factory, but alas, nothing.
  I have no idea if they are similar to any other Brits as I see so few here.   Maybe the British members here are better informed?
