SOLVED: si_252 - Bleichert, Köln - Eidechse - 1951
« on: April 19, 2022, 06:33:29 PM »
A little helper.
Who built it? What was his name? In which decade was it built?

Unless I am mistaken :nerves:, this was made by Wingrove & Rogers, and called the BEV, which stood for the original manufacturer's name: British Electric Vehicles.

You are very much mistaken!  :shakehead: Neither BEV nor British.

Yes it is a "Eidechse", but not from the 40s. Still locked.

Yes, you are right. It is a "Eidechse" from 1951, built by Bleichert Transportanlagen GmbH, Köln. This is your next point.

Bleichert existed under different names till 1991 in Leipzig. Since the 30s Felten & Guilleaume was the owner of Bleichert and  founded in 1946 the "Bleichert Transportanlagen Gmbh, Westdeutschland" in Cologne. Today, this company belongs to MAFI Transport-Systeme.

Thanks for the info! The stories of companies that got split at the same time as Germany itself are interesting, yet sometime so complicated
