About the sound

Transmission system at Göteborgs Remfabrik.

The Transmission system at Göteborgs Remfabrik runs looms and winding machines. It is original from when the house and the factory was built in 1901. Back then everything was run by steam power and nowadays with an electric motor, made by Elektromekano in the 1960s. Three-phase synchronous motor with star-triangle-start. 50 Hp. Originally, all 40 machines were driven at the same time.
