| Abstract: | This paper is about old repairs and the conservator´s handling of them by doing restoration work. First it is given a description of the meaning of old repairs in technical heritage items. Because of space‐saving only of vehicles for individual traffic are considered. A view into vehicle‐museums and private restoration hobby shows a tendency to perfectly finished objects. Old repairs are mostly removed. A certain appreciation is given to them in museums for technical heritage and social history. Marks of oldness and use are considered in case of conservation. The Jaray‐Sesselrad (“chair‐bicycle”) of the Landesmuseum für Technik und Arbeit in Mannheim is an example for different qualities of old repairs and their content of information. Therefore a concept of conservation was developed that preserve old repairs. The Jaray‐Sesselrad is a special bicycle from the early 1920s. It contains a drive with steel‐wires and pedal‐levers and an upholstered comfortable seat with a small chair‐back. |
