In celebration of Bodine Electric Co.'s 100th anniversary, the company is hosting a contest designed to find the oldest Bodine motor or gearmotor.

There are three ways to win:

1. $1,000 for the oldest Bodine product still doing its job

2. $1,000 for the oldest Bodine product — whether it's running or not

3. $1,000 for the most unusual or unique use of a Bodine motor. This winner will also receive an additional $1,000 donated to a favorite charity.

From supplying a dentist with a specially designed motor for an electric tooth drill in 1905, the company has grown to provide motors for such diverse applications as movie cameras and projectors, phonographs, jukeboxes, scientific instruments, office equipment, World War II aircraft fuel pumps, photocopiers, medical scanners, printing presses, factory automation, food service equipment, and many other applications.

Still family owned, Bodine Electric is headquartered in Chicago and offers more than 850 stock motors and gear-motors worldwide, including AC, DC, and brushless DC.

Contestants can register at www.bodine-electric.com/oldmotor. The contest will end June 30, 2005.
