EDITORIAL The new issues of the Journal are starting. It is our hope that they will run quarterly. It is our intention to inform all members of the Club's activities ; to keep them in touch with the results of Committee Meetings and to let those of us who were unable to attend the Annual General Meeting know what went on. It is the intention also to ventilate ideas of the membership and to this end a lively correspondence is invited. We are not given to much speech. we find it even more difficult to express ourselves on paper. We appreciate that most of the membership are " doers " rather than " talkers ". We would like however to appeal for at least ONE written article from each member during the year. if this abject could be achieved we shall have so much material that we shall have to think again about quarterly publications. The Club's future is in danger. After April. 1957, we shall have no Secretary and no Treasurer. Every member is asked to examine his own timetable and see if he could not offer help. He should ask his friends and business acqualntences also. Only thus will a suitable candidate come forward. ACT NO W.

1957 ARRANGEMENTS Arrangements for 1957 made at the Annual General Meeting, were of a provisional nature. Those members present were able to give information of the following dates :— ... 11th May Andover ... ... 8th June Appleford ... 8th June Hertfordshire ..• 15th June Saffron Walden ... 29th-30th June Rempstone 6th July Elsworth Bedford Agricultural Show 13th July & Engine Parade ... 13th July East Anglia 13th July Chester le Street ... 20th July Cranbourne, Cornwall ... 27th July Kegworth August West Sussex September Basingstoke It is emphasized that these dates are by no means final.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Annual General Meeting of the Club was held at The White Hart, Kings Road, S.W.3, on Saturday, 24th November, 1956. The meeting was attended by some sixty members and had a huge programme of business. After apologies had been read by the Secretary the minutes of the last A.G.M. were read and signed. There was little that arose out of the minutes ; one member asked whether any Vice-Presidents had been appointed and received the answer that none had offered to take on the job. A suggestion from the floor was welcomed that firms who once made traction engines and were still in business might be invited to become Vice-Presidents. The accounts for the Club were placed in front of the meeting and approval was asked although the copies had not been in members' hands at any time prior to the meeting. The accounts were accompanied by a letter from the auditors, After some discussion the accounts were adopted although the feeling of the meeting was that the position was far from satisfactory. The business proceeded to the election of the Chairman. There were three nominations—two for Mr. Lacy and one for Mr. Deamer. The meeting decided to have a ballot by show of hands and Mr. Deamer was elected Chairman and took his seat. There was a very hearty vote of thanks expressed for the hard work put In by Mr. Lacy and the magnificent result achieved by his efforts in building up the Club membership to its present numbers. Mr. Lacy had been Chairman since the start of the Club. The general committee was next elected : it was decided to co-opt Mr. J. S. H. Ward, Chairman of the old National Traction Engine Society. It was felt that the Club would like to continue its close co-operation with that association. The election of a Secretary and Treasurer provided very considerable difficulties. One nomination was received for Mr. Stephens who said, in a short speech, that he was unable to continue the job as he had far more to do as a result of the reorganisation of Ns own association and that he could not do us justice. After considerable discussion he agreed to continue on a temporary basis for the next three months in order to clear up the Club's affairs and be able to hand them over to a new Secretary. This secretary was to be appointed by the general committee before the 1st April, 1957. The meeting decided to separate the job of Treasurer from that of Secretary. An unsuccessful search was made for a name of someone who would be capable of carrying out this task. Mr. Stephens agreed again to tidy up the Club's affairs to that they could be handed over to his successor—again to be appointed by the committee before the 1st April, 1957. Among other posts that were delegated by the meeting was that of Editor of this organ. Mr. Lacy was asked to continue as Public Relations Officer and Publicity Manager to which he agreed. Mr. H. Bonnett offered to take on the sales of Club badges and ties. The next items to be discussed was the arrangements for Rallies In 1957. Many dates were received but by no means all are known. It was the hope of the meeting that dates could be arranged so that two rallies did not take place too close to one another. It was felt that the public would always want to go to a rally, the main thing was to arrange the timing and place of Rallies so that engine owners should neither be wishing to be in two places at once, nor left without enough time to move from one place to another within his range. The meeting closed at 6 p.m. The rest of the evening was spent in private and enjoyable discussion.

8 AUDITORS REPORT Report upon the following Accounts Balance Sheet as at 31st July, 1956. Rally Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st July, 1956. Club Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st July, 1956. We have prepared the above Accounts and Report as under :— Receipts Generally We have not seen any documentary evidence in support of receipts other than the Secretary's Cash Records, the entries in which have been traced to the Bank. It has not been possible to allocate the amounts received for Programme Advertisements between the various Rallies, and these have been shown as one amount in the Rally Income and Expenditure Account. Subscriptions have not been vouched by reference to a Register of Members. Payments Payments have not been fully vouched. Stock of Christmas Cards and Badges The Secretary has estimated the stocks of Christmas Cards and Badges held at 31st July, 1956. We are informed that the difference between the stock of Christmas Cards at 31st July, 1955, and 31st July, 1956. which has been charged to the Club Account, is accounted for by sales to Club Members and the cost of Cards used on behalf of the Club during the year. Generally Subject to the above remarks, the Accounts are in accordance with the records of the Club produced to us. Reported by— M. SPENCER ELL & CO.,

Chartered Accountants. 20th December, 1956.

NEU'S FLASHES One member has Contributed towards the Hungarian Relief Fund in the name of the Club. This is a most generous thought and we would like to draw attention to the action. We hope that others may be fired by this example and add to the Club's contribution to this most worthy cause.

The Marshall 5-ton Tractor No. 68823 owned by Mr. Ian N. Fraser (Member No. 100) was featured in a television newsreel on 5th December. It was shown with its usual trailer and on normal business proceeding through the streets of Arbroath; with a toot on it's whistle it sailed gaily past the "Closed, No Petrol" sign exhibited outside a local garage ! —I.N.F.

HOW TO LET OFF STEAM OVER PETROL RATIONING A Sentinel Steam Wagon owned by a Member of the National Traction Engine Club has recently been seconded by his employers for the purpose of delivering beer, due to the restrictions on the use of petrol and the official rationing which commenced on 17th December. Already, other steam vehicles—Fodens and Sentinels—long since retired from active duty, will, doubtless, have been pressed into similar service, though the freight may be anything from bricks or coal to timber or flour.

Firms who have, or will have, transport problems, if the petrol position is not restored, are invited to communicate their requirements to the Secretary of the National Traction Engine Club, at 52, Bedford Row, London. W.C.I. (Tel. No. CHAncery 4504.) If an engine can be offered in their district, the Club will be delighted to help in the emergency. Owners of engines which are capable of a good head of steam at short notice, are asked to tell the N.T.E.C. Secretary of the location of their engine, with full details. It is essential that the engine is in roadworthy condition, and it is also desirable that a driver can be found for the engine, as a diesel operator is most likely to be at a loss if confronted with a steamer ! The necessary Third Party and Boller insurance cover can be effected chrou ghthe Club for any engines made available in this way. —F.S.

The Northleach Traction Engine Committee held their dinner party on Friday, 30th November, at the " Wheatsheaf " Hotel, Northleach, when 40 guests sat down. Among those present were members : Messrs. J. Wharton, W. Blackwell, Tremain, N. Melhuish, C. Nichols and Rev. Stebbing. Films were shown of the Witney and Andover Rallies of 1955/1956 in colour and sound by three members of the Cheltenham Society of Model Engineers, these films being their own production. A most enjoyable evening was spent by all, which came to an end at II p.m. The date of the 1957 rally has yet to be fixed. A small donation has been given to the Northleach Hospital Comforts Fund for the aged out of the meagre proceeds of their Rally which was held on the 25th August, i956. —C.N. The Ransomes Sims & Jefferies Traction Engine No. 22602 has been scrapped. There are some 15 Sentinel Steamers running in Liverpool.

STATIC COMPETITIONS FOR USE AT TRACTION ENGINE RALLIES By G. J. Romanes Now that the Club has been functioning for some years it would seem to be the appropriate time for review of the non-moving competitions which have been presented by the Club and evolved with repeated use. In the early days it was felt that owners would appreciate some form of competition which would enable them to compare the merits of their engines. Two main headings were selected under which these competitions could take place. The first was that of mechanical maintenance and the second was of the rather more spectacular but less essential part—the decoration called " Elegance,"

Let us take the details of the first and consider those. A marking sheet was prepared which contained many items ; these consisted of the names of those parts that could be inspected by Judges on the field with engines in steam. The basis for this was the agricultural traction engine and modifications or alternatives to each item had to be introduced so that the sheet would be suitable for marking engines of other classes. To give a single example, it would be no good marking the condition of the steering chains on a Foden tractor. This type, as all members know, has Ackerman steerage worked by rods and joints ; thus the item on the sheet " steering chains " has in parenthesis besides it " or king pins " to make the Marking Sheet applicable for a wider range of engines. Thus it can be seen that no particular Marking Sheet would be absolutely standard for more than one class and possibly even one make of engine. The practical consideration therefore creeps in that the Marking Sheet has to lose something In complete accuracy for many types in order to be usable in practice. The extent to which the Judges will stick strictly to the words on the Marking Sheet on any particular occasion naturally depends upon the feelings of the panel of the Judges at the time. Turning to the second heading " Elegance ". The various items of decoration, such as condition of the paint work, condition and appearance of the brasswark, and the presence or otherwise of dents on the lagging sheets, come under review.

As many items as possible were listed. Again the agricultural engine was taken as a basis, and suitable modifications introduced where necessary. One of the main difficulties in obtaining a satisfactory and fair marking sheet for all classes was the occasional presence of the roof and its supports. Here it is obvious that the Showman's engine has considerable advantage over its more workaday competitors. To overcome this difficulty and make the Marking Sheets fair engines without roofs are credited with 75 per cent of the possible marks allocated to the roof ; thus making the total possible marks common to both, Concerning the " elegance " it Is very pleasant to record that the standard observed at rallies has been going up sharply. The present Marking Sheets are not altogether suitable because more than two or three engines may sometimes obtain full marks at any one rally. Other factors have had to be taken into consideration for which there is at present no provision. Among examples

recently observed are : (I) The lower surface of the water tank of some engines has been painted. (2) Paint has also been applied to the outside of rear wheels between the strakes. (3) Discussion has frequently taken place between the Judges as to whether the colours of the paint work and lining are the same as that of the original manufacturer's specification. The present Marking Sheets have been designed by one member of the Club, and they were modelled upon competitions held by other organisations and applied to the traction engine so far as possible. Criticisms have been heard on many occasions and Judges who have consented to work have found the Sheets unwieldy.

In spite of a revision of the sheets some years ago another revision now seems to be indicated for the following reasons :


(a)

Marking every item fairly takes a disproportionate length of the Judge's time. The Judges are often needed for running events before static competitions have finished and the programme timing is held up.

(b)

There is not sufficient guidance printed on the sheets to enable the Judges to work on a definite basis. Perhaps an instruction to Judges telling them how to use the sheets might help in the light of experience.

(c)

The competitors, themselves, for the most part are now aware of the intention of the Marking Sheets so cannot prepare themselves or their engines. Thus a high score may still be a matter of luck rather than the result of diligent intended work.

(d) The present sheets are inadequate for the high standard now so frequently seen. In any new Maintenance Marking Sheets perhaps more stress should be laid upon safety. This has already been done to a certain extent by the crediting of 20 marks for a valid satisfactory boiler's certificate showing that an inspection has been carried out prior to the event. The Club would surely be wise to pursue this policy since engines continue to age and more care must be devoted to safety as time goes on. Such a policy would also show the Club to be a responsible body which is doing all in its power to make rallies safe for the public— a very valuable factor if ever an accident should occur and an official enquiry be held. Members might appreciate the restoration of their marked sheets as a guide to winning future competitions. A study of them might reveal informed opinion about their engines' safety and the direction in which improvements could be achieved. The Club would welcome any suggestions from members for incorporation in the Marking Sheets for use in the forthcoming season. These suggestions are needed very shortly in order to achieve a high standard of competition, and maximum enjoyment for owners and the public and the imposition of the minimum fatigue by the voluntary Judges.
