Hummel Figurines
Hummel figurines (also known as M.I. Hummel figurines or simply Hummels) are a series of porcelain figurines based on the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, O.S.F. History The sketch art of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel began to appear in the 1930s in Germany and Switzerland, mostly pastoral drawings of children. The German art publisher Ars Sacra was involved in the early popularization of the art on postcards. Hummel's "art cards" became popular throughout Germany, catching the eye of Franz Goebel, porcelain maker and head of W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik. Goebel acquired rights to turn Hummel's drawing into figurines, producing the first line in 1935. The figurines were introduced at the Leipzig Trade Fair, a major European show for the industry. Goebel was known for presenting new and novel products that attracted American distributors. By the end of the year, 46 ''M.I. Hummel'' motifs were on the market, sold in America at Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago and other Americ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hummel Bird
The Hummel Bird is an experimental/amateur built aircraft designed by Morry Hummel and produced by Hummel Aviation of Byran, Ohio, United States. It is a single-seat, single-engine, all-metal airplane typically powered by a 1/2 VW engine in the 32 hp-45 hp range although other engines have been used successfully. It is built from plans, but many of the components are available pre-made from Hummel Aviation. Examples have been built for less than $4,000 with extensive "scrounging", but with all new material and a pre-built engine, a more likely figure would be $8,000–$10,000. Development The Hummel Bird is a derivative of an earlier design known as the Parker Teenie Two. Originally designed by Calvin Parker, the design was featured in ''Popular Mechanics'' May 1971. Plans for the Teenie Two were originally offered for sale in 1969 and are still offered today with more than 12,000 sets sold. The next generation of the design was called the Watson GW-1 Windwagon.

Hummel (vehicle)
''Hummel'' (German: " bumblebee") was a self-propelled gun based on the ''Geschützwagen'' III/IV chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer. It was used by the German '' Wehrmacht'' during the Second World War from early 1943 until the end of the war. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz 165. The full name was ''Panzerfeldhaubitze 18M auf Geschützwagen III/IV (Sf) Hummel, Sd.Kfz. 165''. On February 27, 1944, Hitler ordered the name ''Hummel'' to be dropped as it was deemed inappropriate for a fighting vehicle. Development The ''Hummel'' was designed in 1942 after the need for mobile artillery support for tank forces had been demonstrated during the invasion of the USSR. The self-propelled artillery already in service with the Wehrmacht had proven of limited value. The first option considered was mounting a 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer on a Panzer III chassis, rejected in favour of the same gun on a Panzer IV chassis. One prototype was built. This design was rej ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Siebel Si 202
The Siebel Si 202 ''Hummel'' ("Bumble-bee") was a German light sportsplane of the late 1930s. It was an angular low-wing monoplane, which could be powered by a variety of small engines. Design and development In January 1937 Major Werner Junck, chief of the LC II, the technical wing of the ''Reichsluftfahrtministerium'' responsible for the development of new aircraft, informed various minor aircraft manufacturers such as Flugzeugwerke Halle, which later in the year would become Siebel, Bücker, Fieseler, Gothaer Waggonfabrik and Klemm that they would not get any contracts for the development of military aircraft. He therefore advised them to concentrate in the development of a ''Volksflugzeug'' or a small twin-engined plane. As a result, Flugzeugwerke Halle developed the Si 202, while the other companies produced the Kl 105, the Fi 253, the Bü 180 and the Go 150. The Hummel was a small single-engined low-wing cantilever monoplane with side-by-side seating for two, designed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
