  • Front Wheel Drive the Story of Pioneers of the Front Wheel Drive Motorcar
    Front Wheel Drive The story of pioneers of the front wheel drive motorcar To most British motorists that think about such things, the Mini, was the beginning of the front wheel drive revolution. The revolutionary concept that was the Mini was it’s packaging.The packing of the engine, gearbox and final drive into a very compact unit, leaving sufficient space in a very small car for four people. The Mini didn’t start the front wheel drive revolution but the packaging revolution that has spread throughout the worlds motor industry. This was made possible because of the developments in front wheel drive technology that had gone on during the previous forty years, but until that time had been almost ignored by the British motor industry. The combination of front wheel drive and efficient packaging has revolutionised the world’s motor industry, being almost universally used, except were considerations of cost and or size are not important. This is the story of those years before the Mini and the pioneers of front wheel drive. From the Carriage to the Horseless Carriage For the thousands of years, from the time of their invention, wheeled vehicles were pulled from the front. This was because it was an inherently stable arrangement, it made steering easier and gave maximum control. This lasted as long as the foot was used to transmit the motive power to the road, but once the wheel was used to transmit the power of an onboard engine to the road the situation changed. This was due to the correct and universal understanding that the front wheels must be used for steering, and as it was so much simpler to drive the none steerable wheels, rear wheel drive became the accepted method used for the pioneer self propelled vehicle.

  • HISTORY AUSTRALIA's OWN CAR Part
    HISTORY AUSTRALIA’S OWN CAR Part Two Wwick Budd With General Motors now in control of Holden’s, Edward Holden remained at the helm. In August 1931 he was appointed joint managing director of GMH and later the sole managing director following the introduction of a new administration structure. Some Standard agents in Australia continued to use Holden bodies and initially it was business as usual as the 1930s rolled on and the economy continued to improve. In March 1934, General Motors appointed Lawrence Hartnett as the new managing director. Edward Holden was removed from his manager’s position but remained the chairman of directors. He subsequently held this position until ill health forced his resignation in 1947. He was reported to be ‘bitter and disappointed’ at his removal from the day to day running of the company and turned his attention to other business interests. From 1935 he served in the Legislative Council of South Australia and was knighted for his services in 1945. With Edward Holden effectively sidelined, the choice of Hartnett was a logical decision by GM and would prove to be an interesting one from an Australian point of view. Hartnett was born and educated in England and came to the attention of GM management while working as a field representative for the company in southern India. After some training in the US he achieved good results in their Swedish operation and his entrepreneurial skills led to his appointment to the board of Vauxhall Motors Ltd in the UK. According to one biographer, Hartnett was given the job of reforming GMH.

  • Hartnett's Panels
    Hartnett’s Car – Passion or Folly Dr. Norman A Darwin Abstract When Laurence J Hartnett arrived at GM-H in March 1934 as Managing Director he gave little thought to making his own car. This rapidly changed as Holden’s fortunes improved to the point where GM-H, under Hartnett’s leadership, would begin planning an all-Australian car for a 1943 introduction. The war was a diversion until the end of 1944 when Hartnett directed his engineers back to designing and building a new vehicle, one that would carry the name Holden. Hartnett’s car – Passion or Folly explores Hartnett’s dream to produce an automobile he could rightly claim as his own. Sadly, for Hartnett, the Holden’s success happened after his resignation and Hartnett’s dream faltered, then turned into a passion following the formation of the Hartnett Motor Company Ltd, a firm that ended in tatters. The story of the Hartnett car has often been told with rumour, inuendo, myth, conspiracy and malpractice. Hartnett’s Car will examine these factors to determine if “The Passion” was in reality a “Folly”. Was the Hartnett car worth the effort and agony? Was the design right for Australia? No doubt Hartnett would argue, yes but there are dissenters. These questions are raised, explored and answered considering the competition and market of the era. Sir Laurence, as time has revealed, was a brilliant entrepreneur, an innovator, a motivator who has been described as a technocratic brigand, a man who did not give up his dream without a fight. His contribution to the Australian Automobile Industry is significant and the exact circumstances surrounding the Hartnett car’s failure is long overdue.

  • The Australian Gothic Through the Novels of Sonya Hartnett
    1 The Australian Gothic Through the Novels of Sonya Hartnett R. Miller Award: PhD Date: 2018 2 The Australian Gothic Through the Novels of Sonya Hartnett R. Miller A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 University of Worcester 3 Abstract The Australian Gothic Through the Novels of Sonya Hartnett Melbourne author Sonya Hartnett, adapts and updates the Australian Gothic within narratives that focus on individual subjectivities to bring to scrutiny the abuses that children suffer due to the invisibility of normative, hegemonic and conformist discourses. This study argues that Hartnett re-locates the colonial trope of the lost child from the wild setting of the bush to cultural topographies in the modern Australian context. The study’s theoretical approach combines concepts from phenomenology, cultural geography and spectral studies to form an hauntology which is articulated and applied to detailed analyses of eleven of Hartnett’s novels set in Australia. The conceptual framework is explained in chapter one and the remaining chapters group Hartnett’s novels thematically and in relation to the settings inhabited by her young protagonists. This structure enables the consideration of the dialectical relationship between places ‘exterior’ to the subject such as the Australian suburb or country town and the psychological ‘interior’ of the mind. Furthermore the study proposes that phenomenological experiences of place, space and time are central aspects of Hartnett’s
