Identification plates/Plaques

Identification plates/Plaques.

Er werden energieke motoculteur-identificatieplaten / -platen gemaakt 2 metals namely aluminium and brass, quite thin and of uniform size (6.cms wide x by 6.7cm heigh) throughout the production run of machines.

Aluminium platen werden gebruikt op de zeer vroege Energic motoculteur C7- en D9-modellen (1931+) and this change for a brief period to a brass plaque with the 411 series both Energic Motoculteurs C7 and D9 (with later S Bloc Motobecane engines). Then reverted back to aluminium for the Energic motoculteur series 413 – and later models. I am sure that in between this period the odd machine sneaked through with a different metal plate/plaque.

They are situated on the front of the bonnet below the aluminium Energic motoculteur plaque (red background), attached by 4 rivets or squashed metal pins. As you can see from the above photo.

The plaques have the following information on them;

Type; B, B5, C7, D9. – Séries (model 408 etc). – N° de Séries (production n° say 710). and – Moteur (Type of engine M5, M7, M9, S7, S9 etc).
Also a recommendation of the type and grade of oil to be used in the Energic Motoculteur. Namely Kervoline BB for the engine and Kervoline Z for the Gears/transfer box (Pont).

De originele ploegen uit de jaren 30, hoes, ancillary equipment also carried identification plaques. Deze werden tijdens het gebruik vaak vernietigd, being at the working end of the motoculteur. Hier is een plaquette van een ploeg.
