DanJohnson Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Any idea of the approximate speed the blower below was meant to run at? It has a belt/pulley and it isn't clear to me if it was meant to run off a motor or hand crank system. Thanks in advance. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Greetings Dan, What you have is a blower from a lever pumper style forge. The drive pulley that is attached to a ratchet mechanism is about 18 inches in diameter. It is designed to be an on demand style ( when you need air to the forge you just pump. ) Look up early Champion forges with a lever . Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
