This vintage informational card showcases Ivan T. Nedland’s “Smallest Motor in the World,” complete with an actual‑size illustration and detailed specifications of the miniature motor’s construction. The card describes the commutator, armature, brushes, wire gauge, dimensions, and total weight, highlighting the remarkable precision required to build such a tiny functioning motor. It’s a wonderful example of early hobby engineering and micro‑mechanical craftsmanship.
The text outlines the motor’s four‑segment commutator, silk‑covered wire windings, silver brushes, and pivot‑steel shaft, along with exact measurements down to fractions of an inch and grains. These technical details make the piece especially appealing to collectors of mechanical miniatures, model engineering, and historical DIY innovation. The card remains clean and legible with expected age toning.
This is an excellent addition for collectors of engineering ephemera, miniature motors, North Dakota inventors, or mechanical history. Items documenting early micro‑engineering achievements are scarce, and this card displays beautifully. It will be packaged securely for safe shipment.
