Hello Everyone, It seems like I write this chat page every fortnight, not every month. The time is going by that fast!!

For those who missed it, Esther’s late Sunday afternoon run and BBQ dinner on the 10th it was a huge success with nearly 20 cars and 40 people for dinner.

The Working Bee group have made a fantastic job of trimming the trees along the side of the driveway.

The next big day for the branch is the Post Rally with entrees piling in including some making the trip down from Auckland!! So let’s show them we have some of the best motoring roads in the country!

The 2022 Manawatu Branch AGM is on the 18th of May. Luckily (or not) most of the Committee including myself are standing again with only two positions needing to be filled, Esther is trying to stand down as Club Captain as she reluctantly put her hand up for the last term and we will need a new Treasurer.

Hopefully we can fill these roles easily and keep the club rolling along with the fantastic momentum the current committee has achieved.

Happy Motoring Derek

We had a great turn out for the Sunday run on the 10thApril 2022 with a one hour run in the country then BBQ tea afterwards. There was a great lot of socialising around afternoon tea and teatime. I think we are needing this time to get together as it has been hard for everyone with Covid around for the past year or more. We are looking to do another type of Sunday run in July with Tea. The PV, PWV, P60, P80 Rally is all set to go ahead on the 7th May 2022. It is an easy run and lunch at a pub.

I am looking to step down as club captain this year. Please think about the role in the club as this is great way to help the club socially. There are a few people that are willing to help with runs and ideas for runs and I will be available to help if needed as well. Please contact me or Derek if you would like to take the role on.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS 7th May 2022 PV, PWV, P60, P80 Rally.

11th May 2022 Working bee at the club rooms starting around 9.30am. We are looking to do the gardens if fine - or if wet, the chairs.

Please bring your tools that are needed for the job.

ECHNICAL

TUFF

SUPERCHARGERS & TURBOCHARGERS

Forced induction is the process of ramming more air than is natural into an engine to get more out the other side. It’s a simple science in theory, but not always an easy one to execute because the only way to amplify the air pressure going into the engine’s intake is to use some form of compressor.

Today, many internal combustion engines feature a type of this, with turbocharging common on both petrol and diesel engines.

Before the turbocharger there was the supercharger - an automotive innovation that celebrated its centenary last year. Unlike a turbocharger, which harvests its power from exhaust gases to turn a separate turbine, a supercharger is driven by a belt which is attached to the engine itself, a mechanical connection that produces its distinctive shriek.

A supercharger can consume as much as 20% of an engine’s total power output.

But because a supercharger can generate as much as 46% additional horsepower most think that the trade-off is worth it. Supercharging puts an added strain on the engine which needs to be strong to handle the extra boost and bigger explosions.

The first supercharged road car was introduced by Mercedes-Benz.

The 1921 6 / 20 / 45 hp Benz was identifiable by the mass of pipework on the outside of the bodywork that sucked extra air into the engine.

Over time, superchargers shrunk. They were used with great success by Bentley in the famous Le Mans-winning ‘Blower’ sports cars, but became less and less popular as compact, cheaper and often more effective turbochargers took over.

As soon as the supercharger starts to whistle it’s difficult not to plant your right foot and listen to it wake up. Turbos are cheaper, more efficient and arguably produce more power, but they don’t sound like a jet aircraft getting ready for take-off every time you poke the accelerator.

Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system.

They compress the air flowing into the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added.

T WAS A GOOD DAY

UNTIL ……

A Plymouth collector’s worst nightmare. The Reo dump truck was unable to stop in time and ploughed into the 1947 Plymouth sedan at relatively high velocity. Note the 1950 Ford used by the Police in Algonquin, Illinois.

This Model A Ford five window coupe took a bad beating on U.S.40 near Jacksontown, Ohio, on June 13 th 1952.

It was hit in the rear by a cattle truck, which pushed it into a Trailways Bus. The Ford’s top was damaged as the car was scooped up on the front of the truck and laid into the rear of the bus.

PART 4 - A CONTINUATION OF ‘THE MOTOR VEHICLE : 1901 > 1914’ ARTICLE WHICH APPEARED IN THE OCTOBER 2021 TOURER

FROM THE ILLUSTRATED

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AUTOMOBILES

The following is the fourth part of the ‘History of the Motor Vehicle’:  The Pre-history of the Motor Vehicle was included in the Sept 2020 Tourer :  The Motor Vehicle 1880 > 1900 was included in the July 2021 Tourer :  The Motor Vehicle 1901 > 1914 was included in the October 2021 Tourer :

The technology of the motor age revolutionised the way the World War One was fought. The internal combustion engine gave new mobility to the infantry who, before hostilities in Europe came to a standstill in the trenches, could be rushed to reinforce weak points on the front line (most notably when the French General Gallieni sent 6000 reinforcements to repel Von Kluck’s attack on Paris in 1914); it also provided motorcycles for despatch riders, permitted H.G. Well’s forecast of ‘land ironclads’ to be fulfilled in the angular shapes of the first armoured cars and tanks and, perhaps most significantly, gave warfare a new dimension by taking it to the air.

One way or another, most of those who fought in the war were given an insight into the utility of the motor vehicle, and when peace came many returning soldiers were only too anxious to spend their demobilisation pay on a car of their own. The result was a boom such as the motor industry had never known. Especially in Britain and France, the established manufacturers found themselves contending for the favours of car-buying public with a whole new sub-industry of optimists who, working from inadequate back street premises, assembled light cars and cyclecars from proprietary components in the hope that they might make their fortunes. Most found only commercial failure, like the British firm who, with the bailiffs mounting a 24-hour watch outside the doors of their London factory, broke an exit through the unguarded rear wall, loaded as much of their machinery as possible onto the finished chassis and drove off to seek new (but unforthcoming) fortune in the Midlands.

If the American industry had already developed to the extent where success in popular car sales would inevitably go to the established big battalions (even Chrysler, founded in 1924, sprang from the established Maxwell-Briscoe grouping), there was still room in Europe for new mass-producers. Most spectacular of these was André Citroën, a former gear manufacturer, who with the aim of bringing Fordstyle mass-production to France, enjoyed an immediate success with his 10 hp launched in 1919.

However, the rise of Citroën spelt doom for the dozens of optimistic assemblers who clustered most thickly in the north-western suburbs of Paris.

Page 13

The Motor Vehicle : 1915 > 1930 : Continued

The boom collapsed in 1920-21, speeded on its way by strikes, hold-ups, shortages, loss of stock market confidence in the car industry, restrictions on hire-purchase sales, costlier raw materials and the introduction of a severe horsepower tax in Britain.

Only the fittest survived. Ford, whose example was followed by a number of American and European makers, cut prices in order to boost falling sales (though he compensated for the loss on cars by compelling the dealers to take $40-worth of spare parts on which there had been no reduction) and gained a brief respite, though even he had to close down for some months to clear unsold stocks. It was not until 1922 that the motor industry was back on course and a second generation of post-war popular cars began to emerge, most notably the Austin Seven.

Many of the cars of the 1920s profited from the technology of the aero engines developed during the war, most notably the overhead camshaft Hispano-Suiza V-8.

Wolseley built this engine under licence and used an overhead camshaft on their post-war cars, but it was not until after the 1927 takeover by Morris that this Wolseley design realised its full potential, especially on MG sports cars.

Hispano-Suiza put their aero engine expertise to full account in the 1919 32cv of 6.6 litres, a splendid machine with servo-assisted four wheel brakes and delightful characteristics, whose overall conception was several years ahead of any of its rivals.

Bentley, who had built rotary engines during the war, brought out an in-line four with an overhead camshaft in 1919 (though it was not put into production until 1921); this 3-litre was to become one of the immortal sporting cars.

Many leading manufacturers adopted the overhead camshaft layout during this period, but RollsRoyce, whose aero engines had used this layout, stuck resolutely to side valves on their cars until the advent of the 20 in 1922; this had pushrod The Hispano H6B was one of the great designs of the 1920s. ohv, a configuration followed on the 1925 Phantom which was to succeed the Silver Ghost, which had side valves till the end.

Oddly enough, apart from honourable exceptions like the Hispano, it was the cheaper cars which pioneered the use of brakes on all four wheels, one of the most positive advances in car equipment in the early 1920s. Possibly it was felt that luxury cars would be handled by professional drivers, who would be less likely to indulge in the kind of reckless driving that would require more powerful brakes!

Furthermore, some American popular car makers, appalled at the cost of retooling Page 14

The Motor Vehicle : 1915 > 1930 : Continued

their cars to accept brakes on the front wheels, actually campaigned against their introduction on the grounds that they were dangerous.

Two of the most famous popular cars of the era were the Morris-Cowley ‘Bullnose’ and the Model T Ford.

Their very different designs reflect popular taste in Britain and America.

As the decade wore on, more features designed to make motoring more comfortable and safer became commonplace - windscreen wipers, electric starters, safety glass (first standardised on the 1928 Model A Ford), all steel coachwork, saloon bodies, low pressure tyres, cellulose paint and chromium plating all became available on popular cars. Styling and the annual model change became an accepted part of the selling of motor cars, bringing with them huge tooling costs which could only be borne by the biggest companies. Many old-established firms just could not keep up and were swept away by the onslaught of the depression in 1929.

True spirit of the Vintage Car Club!

Hi Derek, I attended the first Highland Fling Rally in Taihape at least two years ago only to have my vehicle break down before the rally had even started.

Alan Burton from Palmerston North who I assume ? is a member of your branch, generously offered to loan me his Whippet to use on the Rally, an offer I gratefully accepted. After I returned his car to him I then promptly forgot his name and address and had not had an opportunity to thank him for his generosity. Today, when giving my Model A a much needed clean out, I came across his name written on a scrap of paper. As I do not have any way of contacting him, could you, perhaps through your local branch magazine, give him a mention in dispatches ?

Its people like him who makes our friendly and inclusive club what it is today.

Regards David Oakley, Ashburton.

At the beginning of 1974 the Beaded Wheels took on a new look with a more colourful outer covers. Another change was the price.

In 1971 the price increased to 35 cents for the June/July issue - from previously being 30 cents per issue - and 2½ years later the December 1973/January 1974 issue went up another 5 cents to 40 cents per issue.

Glancing Back at Early Issues of Beaded Wheels - Continued

After a lengthy absence of contributions to the ‘Branch Notes’ column in the Beaded Wheels, Manawatu got back into the swing of it for the June/July 1974 issue.

And in the October/November 1974 issue there is a bit of insight into what the Mid-Winter Night Trials used to be like:

Some people drive as if they were anxious to get all their accidents over and done with quickly.

Driving Instructor to befuddled pupil: ‘You still have a few minutes of your lesson left. Shall I show you how to fill in the accident forms?’

LBION ALBION MOTOR CAR COMPANY LTD – SCOTSTOUN GLASGOW

Albion was founded at the end of 1899 by T. Blackwood Murray and Norman Fulton, late of Arrol-Johnston and their early products were dogcarts with varnished-wood bodywork much in the Arrol-Johnson idiom, with 2-cylinder opposed-piston underfloor engines, low tension magneto ignition, and Murray’s patent governor.

Wheel steering replaced the tiller in 1902, and a year later Albion began production of a 16hp vertical-twin which was made for many years, usually with solid tyre, and often with shootingbrake bodywork.

‘Cars for country houses’, especially Scottish ones, were a speciality of the house, though rather less rustic was a side-valve 5.6 litre chain-driven four introduced in 1906.

This 24hp model had a seven year production run.

The last Albion passenger car was a 15hp Monobloc four with side valves in a T-head and worm drive, which sold for £475 in 1912.

At the end of 1913 Albion elected to concentrate on commercial brakes, though large shooting brakes using the 15hp engine continued to be made.

1906 Albion

Shooting brake is a car body style which originated in the 1890s as a horse-drawn wagon used to transport shooting parties with their equipment and game.

The first automotive shooting brakes were manufactured in the early 1900s in the United Kingdom. The vehicle style became popular in England during the 1920s and 1930s.

They were produced by vehicle manufacturers or as conversions by coachbuilders. The term was used in Britain interchangeably with estate car from the 1930s but has not been in general use for many years and has been more or less superseded by the latter term.

The term has evolved to describe cars combining elements of both station wagon and coupé body styles, with or without reference to the historical usage for shooting parties.

ECEIVED FROM ATIONAL FFICE - RE LONG SERVICE AWARDS (ABRIDGED)

Subject: Long Service Awards Processes Dear Secretary,

25/35/50 year awards.

As you may be aware, National Office has a new system for processing long service awards.

The previous practice of trying to check for continuous membership, with the records held at National Office, was longwinded, and often, due to the lack of completeness of those records, and some other issues, was an unsuccessful inconclusive strategy in trying to determine if a member had had continuous membership.

National Office has now adopted the system used for several years, by past President Leigh Craythorne, where the applicants sign a self-declaration form stating that they have had continuous membership.

This new National Office system was trialled with five 50-year awards late last year, and following the February 2022 Management Committee meeting, this is now being rolled out to all branches.

The applicants must now sign one of the self-declaration forms and for 50-year awards, someone in the branch must complete the citation form, as well as the 50 year or 60year nomination form, which is much the same as that used previously.

At National Office we have streamlined the steps required once the forms are completed and received. All forms are scanned and linked to the member’s records in the system.

National Office has copies of most of the original membership application forms (as do some branches), and these are also linked to the member records, and checked for joining data.  The 25- and 35-year awards are now processed by National Office.  For 50-year awards, National Office supply the badge to the branch, along with the certificate and laminated citation.  For 60-year awards, National Office supply the certificate and the badge.

If you have any questions, please email National Office.
