Photos of spool frames, etc., from various nickelodeons. Text & photos by Don Teach & Robbie Rhodes
designs, this one also uses a worm and worm gear speed reducer, but there is no sump for lubrication. Extremely unique are the helical gears visible to the right of the worm gear, and the (rubber?) coupling assembly by the sprocket gear. These photos are of a spool frame in a calliope in Florida, now under restoration. Only one other spool frame like this one has been reported; it was seen in the Chicago area many years ago. [index]
