DESCRIPTION: Locomotion #2 is constructed from an early 1900’s cast iron ‘Protectograph’ check writing machine manufactured by Todd Company. The piece weighs 10 pounds and has a dimension of 18” L x 10.5” H x 6” W. It incorporates repurposed parts from sewing machines, typewriters, clockworks, radios, and other junk.
Three switches control various LED lights and the motor used to spin the centrifugal governor. There are two openings to the engine compartment. The centrifugal governor should be oiled periodically for smooth operation.
