GEDCOM Note

Emil also worked in both the mills and on the farms. He was veryintersested in the mechanical end of both the saw and grain mills andassisted his father in the rebuilding and maintenance of the dams.buildings and equipment, and also in the designing of new equipmentwhich gave him a great deal of prictical experience. The mill dam atGudmunstorp went out in a spring flood around 1900, and at the sametime, the canal to the mill--the river at that point was about seventyto eight feet wide, and at spring time there was about six feet highwater crest going over the dam together with great ice blocks 3 to 4feet thick. It required a very srong dam construction and all thebuilding had to be done during the summer months May to September whengenerally the water was normally low. The work proceded as follows: First, a boom crane was made that would lift about two toms forhandling granite focks and heavy timber. this crane was contructed ofspruce which made it light and very strong with cast iron gearing andhand cranks. For hoisting line, a 7/16" chain was used, and for lightloads, a single chain was used. For heavy loads, either a single ordouble compound blocks were used as the load required. It was socontructed that 3 men could take it down and erect it again by usingits own crane for lowering and raising. It was necessary to move italong as the work progressed. Luckily that smmer was very dry and thework was completed by not more than 6 men working at one time. Asthis dam had been expected to go out, a great amound of granite rockhad been cleared off the fields of the farm for years by powderblasting and splitting with steel wedges to form rocks 6 to 8 feetlong by 3 feet wide and 1 to 2 feet thick, or to a size suited to thelarge rocks from which the blasting was done. All this work was a great education in construction work of all kindsfrom stone blasting, blacksmithing, carpentry and excavating,maintenance work and new machine building. Just one example, allfarmers produced enough clover and timothy seeds for each yearsplanting. However, to get this seed out of the sockets was a verytedious job and took months of the farmer's winter because he had nosuitable machine with which to do it. The father with the help of hissons made a machine for this work, the first one in Sweden. Itconsisted of a tapered cylinder about 18" diameter at the large end,and 12" at the small end, and about 36" long. This cylinder wasinside of a housing of the same taper. Both cylinder and housing hadslotted bars running full length. to drive this cylinder at 3600 rpmtook about 25 hp. Here was a very early dynamic balancing job becausewhen first started up the viration was very bad due to dynamicunbalance. The cylinder was then run in its own bearings and balancedby weights being applied until it ran vbirationless. The seed julkswere fed in at the small end from the floor above through a chute andout at the large end. Due to the taper, the husks were distributedevenly, eliminating clogging also by adjusting the outside casingendwise. The space between cylinder and casing could be adjusted forthe correct setting to tear the husk from the seed without damage tothe seed. Behind this was required a cleaning arrangement to recoverthe seed from the chaff, which was accomplised with multiple siftingand fanning. It was very difficult because the timothy seed was smalland of the same size and weight as the chaff. This was accomplished,however, in one pass only took 1 to 2 hours to process each farmer'stotal years production, and a very small percentage of the seed wasleft in the scrap. The above is related to show the background of the four brothers. Emil arrived in America December 8, 1902, and came to Arlington tolive with brother Ernst. He obtained work at Eck Dynamo and MotorWorks, Belleville, NJ. He went to New Haven, Commecticut, where hisbrother, Evald, was then attending Yale University for his Ph degree.He immediate started work at the New Haven Machine Tool Co. makinglathes, drilling machines, slotters, planers, etc. This was a veryold concern and had been at the very front in machine tool making butit had rested too long on its reputation and was being left at thepost because other concerns developed more modern machines and theycould not catch up. The management was old and possibly did not careto carry on. Emil started in the assembly but after about eight months, the foremanof that department left and his job was given to the young greenhorn.He was quite scared of the job at first because of the language andbecause there were many older ment and he was afraid of theirjealousy. However, the boss said he would help and that it would beall right. There were some difficulties particularly from one man,but after one encounter he settled down and took orders gracefully.But this work was very heavy, also dirty, and, as related, the firmhad grown old and it did not seem to ger anywheres. The electricalindustry was then very young and there appeared to be greateropportunity. During the summer of 1904 he left and again began towork for the Eck Dynamo in the machine shop, and after eighteen monthsadvanced to foreman. He continued in this until 1910 when he and Mr. Carl Peterson startedthe Star Fan and Motor Works in Newark, NJ. (See history of StarElectric Motor Co.) In 1906 Emil married Amelia Mathilda Carlson. This marriage endedwith her death in February 13, 1914 leaving three children: Raymondborn May 19, 1907; Elvin born March 21, 1909; and Esther born May 12,1919. On February 5, 1916, he married his first wife's sister, OtiliaWilhelmina Carlson. They have two daughters Mary Lillian born July 7,1917 and Frances Elenore born May 12, 1919.

Emil Hollander died September 11, 1947. Star Electric Motor Co. wentinto reorganization in 1946 and he sold out his interests shortlythereafter. He started Hall Electric Motor Co. for the manufacture offractional morsepower motors but was unable to continue due toconditions at the time.
