A Feuerbach Radiator Mystery (UPDATE: 1912/1913 Apollo)



Bruce Woolley from South Africa: "I was wondering if any of your readers may be able to help with this mystery radiator. I'm hoping to find out from what car it is. I've made a close-up from the plate and took a picture from the top side. The mounting holes are 585 mm 23" and 640 mm 23" high."

Took a while until I had the time to measure the mounting holes on my own Apollo (6/18 PS 1913). The bolt holes are 655 mm from side to side, maybe this radiator is for an earlier and smaller type B (4/12 PS)?

There appears to be two small holes for the radiator badge, these holes looks too far apart for an Apollo badge but otherwise it looks very much like Apollo. Could you give us some measurements of it? (like width/mounting holes/frame and height from frame mountings´, then I can compare with my own Apollo 6/18 1913. If it is an Apollo unit I would be very interested in aquiring it if possible. /Per Petersson

The radiator belongs not to a Priamus, but to a 1912 or 1913 Apollo.

Thanks to Tom, he found the Priamus Automobile, which PWC highlighted in 2007
