I'm a sucker for anything old, and when I see New Departure, General Motors, on something that's steel and wood, I'm sold.
It's big, extremely heavy, and I have no idea what it is or what it's for.
Every google search has led me nowhere.
Name plate:
New Departure General Motors PAE-1 3/16 Bristol, Conn USA
I'm hoping somebody knows before I'm stuck to emailing General motors hoping to get a reply.. :?
Its a rig for re straightening a car chassis.
Looks like a homemade lifting device. The pivot point is mounted in two New Departure pillow blocks.
Agree with walk,GM only made the pillow blocks,the rest is homemade.GM logo from the 50's
Thank You. It's unique.
