Widely Omitted: Alfredo Robbiati

Henry Moore sculpture "Hill arches" & Alfredo Robbiati (Reseller) "Atomic" coffee machine

"ATOMIC" Tritaghiaccio / Ice Crusher - Brevetti Robbiati - Novate Milanese - 1955

My inner-eye saw in the "Peraluman 3" snippets (here) a potential.

I contacted the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) where i though the original book might be. A very kind and patient librarian took my concerns very seriously and tried to help in every manner he could. He finally advised me to contact my local library.

Soon after, i wrote an email to my local Library with the link the librarian gently gave me. On the next day, i got impatient... and went there by foot. The friendly librarian there understood my request and forwarded me to the main Viennese Main Library, which will be able to help me. I received after an email confirming just that from the very supportive head librarian.

The Viennese Main Library was very helpful and, though they couldn't open the link i gave them, encouraged me to contact the Austrian National Library. There i would surely get what i was looking for.

Used to these kind of requests, the professional and cordial librarian was very diligent to give me a link to a database allowing me to identify the library that holds a copy to the book i search. They also advised me to contact an Italian University.

Well, i thought the University of Stuttgart (GERMANY) would do.

It did.

A charming librarian sent me a pdf of the page for free.

Here is, after being hidden for 60 years,

GIORDANO ROBBIATI's

"ATOMIC" ICE CRUSHER

For my supporting Australian Friend!

Peraluman 3 - Good within the range of Possibility

As i blogged on the 4th of December 2014 (here) that Aluminium is not equal to Aluminium,

meaning that Alloys come in a wide range.

One person reacted.

For this One person, i will take a bit of my time to write this Post.

Look what i found Lucio!!!

In 1955, the "ice crusher for domestic use" of Giordano Robbiati

 was made out of Peraluman 3.

(more infos about Peraluman here)

Beautiful: here

Of course, we can't conclude that the coffee makers were also made of the same alloy,

but it comes strongly within the range of possibility.

Interest in Alloys?:

Qualital Kft in Hungary were making its coffee makers out of Silumin (here).

PS: After the Citrus Fruit Press (here), the Car Bell (here), it is nice for me to see another item that the Ditta Robbiati - "Officina mecanica e fonderia in legghe legere" - were casting.

Just for info:

The Bacchi i use at home is principally made out of Peraluman 30.

Somac / Isomac / Italsomac - "Atomic" coffee machine - Your turn!!!

One thing is certain, it is not the Model Splendida.
(more here)

Which Model is it then???

Experts of "Atomic" coffee makers,

It is YOUR time to shine!!!

Thanks.

Yet another "Atomic" coffee machine ...

Candle holder - Fritz Nagel & Ceasar Stoffi for Bmf... Yeah Right!

Proud to be the first to set the record straight about the candle holders known as "designed by Fritz Nagel and Ceasar Stoffi for Bmf".

They were in fact designed by Werner Stoff and patented by Hans Nagel for Nagel KG, Wesseling.

 Funnily enough the world didn't care... for a whole 7 years.
And i bet it won't either for the next ones.

If "everyone says", then it must be "The TRUTH".

Congratulation to the German expert who invented the fancy names in 2008!

Your reign will go on forever! What a legacy!

Crooks... but not as crook as this one!

18€ postage included!!!

For the "Original and Genuine" blablabla...

  

These items 

 - although just as "Genuine and Original" as the above one - 

somehow sold better...

Crooks - in Italy too???

The modern lines...

"The present application for utility model aims to provide a new system of coffee exprès, for domestic use, which differs essentially from all hitherto employed, both in its external form, which is of modern lines, and for its performance and utility, since the water tank can be heated to direct fire."
