Corbin & New Departure Hub Dating Project - Need everyone's help pre-1933

[Gary Mc]

Hey Gary,
I dont see the diagram having a date, just the picture note mentions 1936, so not sure of year on the diagram, but likely post 1932.

Good catch!!!!!!! Duly noted & added to Post #1.

Pierce had New Departure brake in 1901, looks like Model A but doesn't say it. 1900 I believe was Morrow

Anone have a picture of the 1901 Pierce New Departure hub so we can confirm which model???????

PATENTS 1897 to 1907

Printed out about a dozen Corbin & New Departure coaster brake patents tonight from Google Patents. This is going to be interesting trying to figure out which one is which model!!!!!!! Dates are all over the place. Think I found the 1897 New Departure Controller. I'll post them a little at a time as I figure them out.

1930 Olmsted's Bicycle Catalog

Here are the hub pages. There are a few items to note:

Page 25: What looks to be the Corbin Model No. 16 Front Hub, New Departure Model M Front Hub (note no model SM listed but was definitely available in 1930), and a fixie New Departure Rear Hub but does not give the model number. This becomes the new latest data for both front hubs.

Page 26: New Departure Model C, also note a Model CC listed. What is the Model CC, is this the new chrome version available for 1930??????? 1929 to 1930 is the timeframe when many items switched from nickel to chrome plating.

Page 27: Parts are still available for New Departure Model A & Corbin Duplex Models.
