Bitch Pick
Simon,
I've got some information for you about stone picks. I'll just write it as
it is written and leave the translations to you.
The first catalog is from 1985. Titled , Handelskatalog, bavaria
Steinmetzwerkzeuge GMBH. Next is an address, I assume: Deschaftsfuhrer E
Stogbauer, 8901 Konigsbrunn Schwabenstrabe 15, Postfach 1208. Telefon
08231/2263 und 5063.
This catalog has three kinds of axes for chopping stone. The ax with no
teeth, just a clean cutting edge is called Ausfuhrung S/S. The next has very
stout teeth and is labled Ausfuhrung S/Z, and the tool with very long,
sharp teeth is Ausfuhrung Z/Z.
The page is titled Stahl-werkezeuge fur Marmor und mittelhartem Gestein.
The other catalog is Werkzeug-Katalog Nr. 11/78. Hartmatall-Werkzeuge fur
Hand-und PreBluftbetrieb Stahlwerkzeuge. Geier Produktions GMBH, Werrkzeuge
fuer die Steinindustrie Schwabenstr. 15 8901 Konigsbrunn. Telefon
o8231/2263:5063. This catalog has an amazing variety of bushhammer heads and
one very clear picture of a stone pick. Everything in this section starts
with Dismont and then the name Zweispitzhammer. A description follows,
beidseitig mit HM-Spitzen ca. 800g There are also 3 chopping axes, a little
different style, but all labled Ausfuhrung. These tools look absolutely
lethal and very old-fashioned. The design really hasn't changed, except for
being better steel and having carbide inserts, for the last 1000 years, I'll
bet.
I hope you can translate the names and pass it on. I'm very curious to know.
Good luck,
George Graham
