Ulmia Hand Tools - George Ott

 

ulmiacatcvrULMIA TOOLS - GEORG OTT. C1937. Catalog and text courtesy of Wolfgang Jordan ( wolfgang@holzwerken.de ), of the Oldtools eMail List:

"This Georg Ott catalog ('Ulmia tools') is undated, but it is supposed to be from about 1937. Regarding planes, new features had evolved in the preceding years, such as the iron strike button and the hand guard. New ways were developed to hold the wedge. Innovations like this can be found throughout the catalog. These innovations made the George Ott company one of the leading German tool factories. Georg Ott has influenced plane production in other companies through the present day. More information about the history of Georg Ott and Ulmia tools can be found here: http://www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/ulmia.phtml"

"Dieser Katalog der Firma Georg Ott ('Ulmia-Werkzeuge') ist undatiert, aber offensichtlich um 1937 herausgegeben. Die Hobel waren in den letzten Jahren gründlich überarbeitet worden und haben bereits ihre heutige Form mit Schlagknopf, Handschoner und eisernem Keilwiderlager. Auch viele andere Werkzeuge wurden verbessert. Die Innovationskraft der Firma Georg Ott verhalf ihr zu einer führenden Stellung unter den Holzwerkzeugherstellern und hatte einen großen Einfluss auf die Herstellung von Hobeln und anderen Werkzeugen bis heute. Mehr Informationen über die Geschichte von Georg Ott und Beispiele von Ulmia-Werkzeugen hier: http://www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/ulmia.phtml"
