Caba family has retained some of the tools, machinery and tools used to build and repair body. Some of these machines are old as well as were used in the days of his grandfather Salvador Cabanas. The first tool we present deposited in an attic, clamps are different sizes, common among carpenters used to the collar pieces in a body, particularly with paste wood veneer once riveting: An attic where you saved an old bumper car:
A drill used in ancient times grandfather Salvador Cabanas that worked but not with a motor through ρρ pulleys, which was the same system running machines textile industries Sabadell and Terrassa: A cutter plate that allowed to give the way it is needed: And finally, a folding doubling the plate with the shape and angles required, at his side, a compressor:
Some of these machines, the year of itching are very valuable pieces that could be displayed properly. Just have a little patience, time and money to submit the same condition the day they were purchased. The value of this machinery accretion, in our humble opinion, if it were made by Catalan companies since in this case part of the industrial heritage of the country. This reflection is perfectly applicable to textile machinery produced at home where there were large manufacturers: Jumberca and Rigual Badalona, ρρ Mataro and Workshops April Manlleu Serra SA, to mention some of the best known. Caba family also keeps blueprints of some of the bodies for trucks and Peter Caba Bedós designed and built. They are beautiful and ornate closed boxes trucks textile Sabadell. A body responsible for customer Salvador grandfather and father Peter drew manually scaled their design. Once submitted the drawing of the body to the client and expressed their approval for this at hand drew the body that had been built, it is open or closed box of a truck or a bus full in size, ie 1:1. Peter drew Caba body in one of the attics of the workshops and street Montllor Pujalt. Drawn this plan or template 1:1, grandfather and father in Caba removed the cardboard template to the sheet.
Grandpa Salvador manufactured all the bodies chops wood buses and trucks that ordered to reinforce it. In the case of Father Peter, the last few years building bodies, ribs that there were already mounted iron. Two drawings of two bodies of closed box truck that was built on Peter Caba:
This way of working, completely ρρ handmade, proved impractical with the improvements in the industry where bodywork is manufactured in bulk for cheaper costs. The bodywork they did not know or want to adapt to economic investments that had to attend, do not go up there to continue working. The machinery and documentation that preserves family Caba is a testament to how it worked before, a time completely extinguished.
