treadmill runs washing machine Antique engines, tractors on display By KAY BERENSON There's a lot of clanking, clanging and going on at Camp Webster this weekend, as antique tractors, and gas and steam engines chug away at the third annual Antique Engine and Tractor Show. It's sponsored by Central Kansas Flywheels, Inc. Most of them chug most of the time, anyway. But there are a few exceptions. The goat treadmill owned by Mr.

and Mrs. Elbert Frey, Abilene, is one. The treadmill runs an antique washing machine with a little help from a goat named Sheba. Frey says the apparatus was used around the time of the Civil War to run cream separators, small grain grinders, washing machines and similar machinery. He saw one in a museum and decided to advertise in an antique engine magazine for one.

He bought one from a New Yorker, and intended to train his dog to run it. The dog, Frey says, didn't think much of the idea of running on the inclined belt which operates the machine. So he had to buy a new power source. That was Sheba, the goat. Frey trained Sheba himself.

He says it didn't take too long. "Most of the time she does pretty good, but sometimes she gets a little stubborn," Frey said. Frey has' other exhibits at the show. Among them is a walking beam pump jack, built around 1910, which operates smoothly. "I don't know why they didn't make more of them," he said.

Nobody seemed to know why they didn't make more of the Harrt Powered Little Devil, either. It's a snazzy-looking red machine which Dale Hoover, 1314 Funston, said was a 1914 model car. The Little Devil at the show is owned by Harold Ottoway, Wichita. Hoover said the model was recalled by the factory in 1916, but Ottoway missed the recall somehow and "Ralph Nader didn't get it." As Ottoway drove in with the Little Devil on a trailer, a friend called out, "Hey where'd you get that?" "Aw, I just found it out by the barn," Ottoway yelled back. Not likely, Hoover said.

There is more than a little hot air being generated at the show. Some is being put to good use. A "hot air machine," owned by Chet Anderson, Smolan, sent a steady stream of water into a bucket. The machine, also known as a hot air pump engine, looks a bit like something Rube Goldberg might have designed especially with a display of antique oilers arranged on the front of its trailer. But it works.

Phil McDowell, 254 Des Moines, was selling authentic-sounding steam whistles which he said could be attached to a steam engine or compressor. Or people-powered hot air is sufficient as he demonstrated periodically during the day. McDowell isn't' the only sales person at the show. Thirteen-year- old John Hoover, 142 S. llth, was busy trying to sell cactus plants.

He was one of those taking advantage of the flea market on the grounds. Clifford Loop, 319 Baker, was setting up a display of scale model steam engines. Nearby, a huge steam engine looked like his model's grownup twin. Loop, however, didn't see the resemblance. "That's a Rumely.

This one's a Baker," he said, referring to the manufacturer's name. One of the oldest tractors at the show is a grey model which looked vaguely like an overgrown tricycle with barrels strapped oh. Affectionately referred to as The Bull by exhibitors, the tractor seemed to be one of the stars. It wasn't quite able to handle its starring role Friday, however. The Bull, built in 1914, couldn't get going for the scheduled parade.

It had to be pulled by a newer model built in 1916. Just tired? Chet Anderson, president of the club which sponsored the event, excused The Bull's poor performance Friday. "A bunch of us were out here last night driving it around until dark. It was running then." There are about 200 exhibitors at the show, most of them with three or four exhibits. Intermittent rain held down Friday's attendance.

But with sunny skies Saturday, the club hoped to better last year's 2,500 attendance. Proceeds will go to a fund to build a museum for antique machinery, possibly in the Salina area. Admission is $2 for one day. Children under 12 will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult. The show continues through 5 p.m.

Sunday at Camp Webster, just north of 1-70 at the Ohio Street exit. In addition to exhibits, there also are demonstrations of a shingle mill and a saw mill, a threshing and baling demonstration and a parade. And there's food homemade pies, cakes, sandwiches and "solar tea," if the sun shines. GOAT POWER Elbert Frey, Abilene, watches patiently as his goat, Sheba, runs on a treadmill. The treadmill was Journal Photo originally built for dogs, and can be used to power such things as washing machines and butter churns.
