Subject: 1913-15 Pierce generator Help

David,

I was given your name…….. Hopefully you can help me out. I am working on a customers Westinghouse generator off of a 1914 Pierce. It has been messed with before by somebody else, which is always an issue when trying to troubleshoot. One thing that would speed the process up is if I could get my hands on another generator to use strictly for comparison. Is this something you could help me with? We would be interested in borrowing a generator or even buying a spare if possible.

Thanks,

Jason

Have you checked a parts book for a Series 1,2 or 3 Pierce Arrow generator

picture? It is I believe shown in the handbook for my Series 3.

I would suggest contacting the AACA Library who I believe has the PAS collection of Pierce Arrow literature and get copies of the handbooks and parts books for the Series 2 and Series 3 Pierce Arrows which show diagrams

of the generator on these cars.The Westinghouse system was used on other cars

of that time so there should be some similarities in design.
