Hi folks,
I am virtually building Matador models using the 3D-drawing program SketchUp. My last creation is model 812 (Lastwagen) from Vorlagenheft J zu Matador Nr 8. See pictures below:
However, you may dislike my virtual behaviour, but for me it is a challenging and sometimes puzzling activity. For example, what is the purpose of stick "ST" in drawing 812/9 of model 812. This stick ST engages a rotatable block 1 and pulls a rope wrapped around block 1. This rope runs forward to the cabin of the Lastwagen, passes through the floor of the cabin and seems to be (loosely wired) connected to a stick in the dashboard. See picture below:
I would greatly appreciate your comments on the purpose of stick ST.
Kind regards,
Gert-Jan Hesselmann

Re: Was baue ich gerade?
Hi Gert-Jan,
very nice work!
I found this text in Vorlagenheft J: Translation:
With ST the so-called "mountain support" is indicated. If the car stops on a steep road, ST is lowered. This prevents the car from reversing.
Wikipedia-Eintrag (in german) for "Bergstütze"
The (german) Wikipedia describes "Bergstütze" as:
"... a component from the early days of the automobile to prevent the vehicle from rolling away on a hill.
The support could be operated from the driver's seat and could also be used as a starting aid."

Re: Was baue ich gerade?
Hallo Michael,
Thank you very much for your explanation! It is clear to me now what its function is.
However, why could I not find this text in the Vorlagenheft J zu Matador Nr 8 I have downloaded from Oelli's website? Have you a different version of this Vorlagenheft?
Nevertheless, thanks for your comment. I will immediately add this feature to my SketchUp drawing!
By the way, I have made many drawings from the Vorlagenhefte in my possession and downloaded from Oelli's website. Here are a few more examples:
Best Regards,
Gert-Jan Hesselmann

Hi Gert-Jan,
In my version (seems to be from 1962) the model "Lastenauto" has the number 815.
The drawings are the same (the sub-numbers vary partially).
The description:
And - again - great work

You're right, there are different versions.

Hi Michael,
One again, many thanks for your comprehensive and clear answer and for the pictures of the texts from your Vorlagenheft J. Good work. I have seen similar disappeared texts from other Vorlagenhefte, but this feature I could not explain by means of simple reasoning. So, your help was very welcome!
Thanks and best regards,

Es freut mich, dass du mein Handwickler-Modell nachgebaut hast und dieses in deinem Video so schön vorstellst.
Das Vorbild zu diesem Modell ist übrigens ein Wickler der Firma Singer, den man zum Aufwickeln der Strickwolle für Strickmaschinen verwendete. Durch das Zickzack aufwickeln sollte das Abwickeln der Wolle beim Stricken auf der Strickmaschine eine gleichmäßige Fadenspannung bewirken.
Hier ist ein Bild des Originals:

Thomas
