Original Porsche Motor 2000 GS Print Draft.

Here I have an Porsche Motor Draft on blueprint paper. Would look great framed. Like a photographic negative, except in reverse, the velum produces the completed product of the chemical bath and a blueprint is produced. Blue-line prints get their names because they have a blue lines on a Blueish background. It sounds almost too simple, doesn't it? Blueprinting paper isn't just ordinary paper. It's coated with ammonium iron citrate. The formation of this compound is shown below. Amazingly enough, the structure of this inorganic compound isn't known, but we do know that iron is in the +3 oxidation state. Next, the blueprinting paper, with the original drawing on top, is exposed to light. All the iron +3 ions, except those directly under the tracing lines, are reduced to iron +2. The blueprinting paper, which is still white, is placed in an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide. This compound reacts with ammonium ferrous citrate and forms a compound called Prussian blue. This compound, in it's hydrated form, is blue. The structure of Prussian blue, also known as Turnbull's blue, is still under debate. Now deserving of its name, the blueprint is washed. Prussian blue adheres to the paper while the unreduced iron +2 compounds washes away. Very cool process indeed!

These measure approximatly 2 feet x 3 feet.

These would make a Awsome gift! I will ship rolled and in a tube so that they remain unfolded.

Professor Ferdinand Porsche founded the company called "Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH" in 1931, [14 ] with main offices at Kronenstraße 24 in the centre of Stuttgart . Initially, the company offered motor vehicle development work and consulting ,[ 14 ] but did not build any cars under its own name. One of the first assignments the new company received was from the German government to design a car for the people, a German : Volkswagen .[ 14 ] This resulted in the Volkswagen Beetle , one of the most successful car designs of all time. The first Porsche, the Porsche 64 , was developed in 1939 using many components from the Beetle. [14 ]

Porsche's tank prototype the "Porsche Tiger" that lost to Henschel & Son 's Tiger I . Panzerjäger Tiger , after the loss of the contract to the Tiger I Porsche recycled his design into a tank destroyer .

During World War II ,[ 15 ] Volkswagen production turned to the military version of the Volkswagen Beetle, the Kübelwagen ,[ 15 ] 52,000 produced, and Schwimmwagen ,[ 15 ] 14,000 produced. Porsche produced several designs for heavy tanks during the war, losing out to Henschel & Son in both contracts that ultimately led to the Tiger I and the Tiger II . However, not all this work was wasted, as the chassis Porsche designed for the Tiger I was used as the base for the Elefant tank destroyer . Porsche also developed the Maus super-heavy tank in the closing stages of the war, producing two prototypes. [citation needed ]

At the end of WW2 in 1945, the Volkswagen factory at Wolfsburg fell to the British . Ferdinand lost his position as Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen, and a British Army Major – Ivan Hirst was put in charge of the factory. (In Wolfsburg, the Volkswagen company magazine dubbed him "The British Major who saved Volkswagen." [16 ]) On 15 December of that year, Ferdinand was arrested for war crimes, but not tried. During his 20-month imprisonment, Ferdinand Porsche's son, Ferry Porsche , decided to build his own car because he could not find an existing one that he wanted to buy. He also had to steer the company through some of its most difficult days until his father's release in August 1947. [17 ] The first models of what was to become the 356 were built in a small sawmill in Gmünd , Austria .[ 17 ] The prototype car was shown to German auto dealers, and when pre-orders reached a set threshold, production was begun. Many regard the 356 as the first Porsche simply because it was the first model sold by the fledgling company. Porsche commissioned a Zuffenhausen-based company, R...
