Early axles at Horsham, Victoria, Australia (Upd. 1922 Sunbeam)
Graeme Simpson recoverd this pair of axles from the local tip in November 2011. All in poor condition, heavily corroded, and of unknown origin. It's uncertain whether any parts could be useful. Rudge #62 wheel centres; beaded edge rims about 21" dia. Rear axle: side-by-side brake shoes for hand & foot, without back plates; brake shafts & shoe pivots have Alemite hex. grease nipples; brake levers sit above the rear axle. Tailshaft is missing, possibly full-floating axle shaft assembly. Front axle: brass-encased thrust bearing under axle beam & stub axles sit above the axle; quite wide and straight axle forging. Gaeme would appreciate any information which could help to identify the vehicle from which these parts came, hoping to help someone to assist a restoration.

I'm grateful for these comments. Dear Editor, could you please give Peter Ransom my email address so that we can communicate.
Peter, I've emailed the Australian S-T-D Register, but so far, no response.
Bill, I'd guess that the rest of the car is long gone: both axles had been used for many(!!!) years under a 4-wheel farm trailer. The remains of a drawbar are still attached to the front axle.
Thanks Folks.
Graeme

Obviously, somebody was clearing up their property near Horsham recently. What I want to know is: where's the rest of this Sunbeam? Where's the chassis and engine?

It's great that more 1920's Sunbeam parts have been found and identified. I thought the rear axle spring trunnion looked rather Sunbeam-ish! Let's hope some of the useful parts will end up being used.

Without having some of the numbers on the axles I can't be 100% certain, but these parts look like c. 1922 Sunbeam 14hp. Torque tube drive, cantilever rear springs and the general look of everything fits nicely with the illustrations in the '22 14 hp Parts List. If Graeme would like to contact me we can do a positive identification and then, in my role as Editor of the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register Australia's newsletter, I can help him to find someone who needs the axles.
Cheers... Peter

A very interesting find and what sounds like a most satisfactory conclusion. I do hope the parts go to a good home.
