We enjoyed the ambience and fabulous service at Bonneville Resort in Washington, and sipping tannins from wineries in the Walla Walla area. We stayed two nights at the Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla. Friday and Saturday night, par- ticipants enjoyed catered dinners and great wines at Charles Smith Wines Satellite view of the Old Spiral Highway fr om Google Maps. and Dunham Cellars. Friday’s relaxed drive allowed us time for an educational tour of the Pendleton Woolen Mills and a fun shopping excursion for the ladies. Saturday’s 300-mile driving loop included lunch in Joseph, Oregon, where some cars took a shor t tour of Wallowa Lake. We enjoyed tremendous roadside vistas in the Hells Canyon area and the Wallowa National Forest. Our Saturday after- noon route took us to Lewiston, Idaho, for an exhilarating ride on the “S piral Highway.” We capped the tour off on Sunday with a drive through the Columbia River Gorge. Both the scenery and the weather provided for the perfect ending to another great Northwest Passage. We hope to see you next year for this event! ur next board meeting is July 17. We are delaying the meeting one week because the normal second Tuesday Odate conflicts with the annual PCA Parade in Salt Lake City, where I will be attending the Presidents’ Dinner on Monday, July 9 to learn more about what other regions in the US are experiencing. Meeting club members from other regions is not only fun but educational! oug Twitchell, with the Board of Directors, will be working later this summer with member Kathleen E llis to Dbegin the process of putting together our 2013 slate of activities. This planning process is important and ensures that events are evenly spaced out during each calendar y ear. This also allows us to publish our annual ORPCA calen- dar with all of the events included to assist members in planning their annual activities. We look forward to hearing your ideas for proposed events next year! (Continued on next page) ANZEIGER / July 2012 8 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, CONTINUED (Continued from previous page) e will make every effort this year to have the calendar mailed out with the dir ectory and Anzeiger Annual no Wlater than December 15. Given that the City of Portland doesn’t typically confirm available PIR dates until sometime in January, we will likely have to eliminate some dates for D rivers Education and Autocross. Members will need to use the website to confirm dates for these driving ev ents in 2013. Regular visits to our website are not a bad habit to get into, since many of our club ev ents change their dates and venues during the year as a matter of course. t the June board meeting, the board approved the last of the Synotac proposed projects which will complete the Aautomation of our membership process as well as provide some needed website upgrades.

  • Automotive Design Culture: Aesthetic Trends Originated in Technology
    F2004U060 AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN CULTURE: AESTHETIC TRENDS ORIGINATED IN TECHNOLOGY Liamadis, George*, Tsinikas, Nikolaos Faculty of Technology, School of Architecture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece KEYWORDS - Design, Styling, Trends, Technology, Society ABSTRACT – Ever since the Futurist’s Manifesto, first to see the inner beauty of speed and progress symbolized in the form of early automobile’s mechanical parts, automotive history has often experienced paradigms of technological breakthroughs grown popular to establish aesthetic trends. The car, this highly influential cultural icon of the last century, has often drawn its stylistic inspiration in the product’s technological nature, in the attempt to express visually human’s inherent need for more power, for “better and faster”. Great pipes on early racing cars (1910’s), recalling images of “snakes with explosive breath”, had soon given their place in a new formal language, an aesthetic refinement known as streamlining (1930’s). The expressive force of streamlining, made it synonymous with ‘design’, sculptural intensity and ‘vigorous motion’ even when standing still. It provided an effective visual metaphor for progress, which soon became a formal topos and established an aesthetic trend later extended to a whole series of industrial products, often alien to the idea of motion. Aircraft-referential tailfins on American cars of the 50’s, took automotive styling into the supersonic age, expressing the power of flight and the optimism of the post-war period. The 1973 oil crisis brought up an automotive culture, which shifted the goal from maximization of speed to the optimization of effectiveness. Within this context, streamlining has retained its significance, now justified in terms of ecology and environmental politics.

Introduction All lines of thoughts, considerations, and analysis to increase flight performance, or to say in a more generalised way, to achieve air superiority, leads ultimately to placing special attention on power plants for aircraft and missiles. Herein, there exists a certain interaction, which on the other hand only allows a starting point from the present know-how of power plants to be able to continuously create better aircraft. A key prominence goes to research and development that addresses the subject matter of power plants. The awareness of this demands a certain amount of fortitude, to see far into the future in order to perceive the ultimate goal and to plot a clear path for achieving this goal. During this process of research and development, it is necessary to establish way-points from time-to-time, for assessing the data thus far obtained and to incorporate the results into the overall effort. Currently, there are three major constituents acknowledged, which outline this state-of- the-art technology. The piston engine This group encompasses the entire first part of aviation history, from the very beginning, which used a modified automobile motor, up to today’s severe demands on flight performances, which can only be increased further uneconomically or with an unjustifiably great effort.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper reviews the history of automotive technology development and human factors research, largely by decade, since the inception of the automobile. The human factors aspects were classified into primary driving task aspects (controls, displays, and visibility), driver workspace (seating and packaging, vibration, comfort, and climate), driver’s condition (fatigue and impairment), crash injury, advanced driver-assistance systems, external communication access, and driving behavior. For each era, the paper describes the SAE and ISO standards developed, the major organizations and conferences established, the major news stories affecting vehicle safety, and the general social context. The paper ends with a discussion of what can be learned from this historical review and the major issues to be addressed. A major contribution of this paper is more than 180 references that represent the foundation of automotive human factors, which should be considered core knowledge and should be familiar to those in the profession.

  • Adolf Hitler Stole the Idea for the Iconic Volkswagen Beetle from a Jewish Engineer and Had Him Written out of History, a Historian Has Sensationally Claimed
    Adolf Hitler stole the idea for the iconic Volkswagen Beetle from a Jewish engineer and had him written out of history, a historian has sensationally claimed. The Nazi leader has always been given credit for sketching out the early concept for the car in a meeting with car designer Ferdinand Porsche in 1935. His idea for the Volkswagen - or 'people's car' - is seen by many as one of the only worthwhile achievements of the genocidal dictator. Bug's life: Josef Ganz and his design, which Adolf Hitler saw at a car show in 1933, not long before he made his sketches for Ferdinand Porsche Gorgeous curves: One of Ganz's early drawings, which have been left buried in the past for many years 'People's car': Mr Ganz with one of his designs that author Paul Schilperoord says led up to the development of the Volkswagen But Paul Schilperoord's book, The Extraordinary Life of Josef Ganz - the Jewish engineer behind Hitler's Volkswagen, may change that forever. Hitler stipulated that the vehicle would have four seats, an air-cooled engine and cost no more than 1,000 Reichsmarks - the exact price that Mr Ganz said the car would cost. Three years before Hitler described 'his idea' to Mr Porsche in a Berlin hotel, Mr Ganz was driving a car he had designed called the Maikaefer, or May Bug. The lightweight, low-riding vehicle looked very like the Beetle that was later developed by Mr Porsche, who is still considered the foremost car designer in German history. Jewish inventor Mr Ganz had been exploring the idea for an affordable car since 1928 and made many drawings of a Beetle-like vehicle.
