    Flash Historic Hetchins Web Site http://www.hetchins.org March 2003, revised June 2007, April 2021 A Short History of Hetchins Lug Design and Lug Production Methods. There were various periods of Hetchins design activity. Elsewhere at the web site I have separated several periods by location and chronology: Tottenham, Southend, Leeds, pre-War/post-War, etc. This classification scheme is simple and has an obvious applicability, but here I would like to fill in some more detail along a different line of classification. The scheme of classification I shall now explore is based on lug design and the method (or methods) of lug production. Four periods of design development can be identified. First Period (getting started) Very early production, from the 1930s to 1949, used standard lug blanks supplied by Chater Lea, Brampton, and Vaughan; these blanks were modified (cut, filed, drilled, etc.) by Hetchins (Jack Denny as well as other lug cutters). These were the same lug blanks as used by many other frame builders at the time. An early Hetchins looks much like an early Bates, as far as lugs are concerned. I shall call this the first period. (Not that Hetchin or Denny would have called it that; it has only a didactic significance in retrospect.) Second Period (Latin Series introduced) In 1940 or so, Denny began experimenting with more intricate variations of standard Chater Lea (or other) lug blanks. Two results of this were a Competition model with extra windows and points, a few of which are known to have survived (http://www.hetchins.org/501comp-01.htm).

    The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of Bicycle Police by Ross D. Petty Babson College Babson Park, MA 02457 USA [email protected] © Copyright 2006 Ross D. Petty. All Rights Reserved. The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of Bicycle Police Introduction The concept of police patrolling originated in England in 1818, after private rewards failed to deter crime and people were outraged when troops were called into Manchester to quell a civil disturbance and left 11 people dead. Sir Robert Peel introduced the Metropolitan Police Act of 1829, which set up metropolitan police districts, staffed by paid constables (Trojanowicz et. al., 1998). These “Bobbies” (nicknamed in honor of Sir Peel) were on duty 14-17 hours of the day and often patrolled 20 miles a day for weeks on foot without a day off. To verify their diligence, early constables had to leave a ticket at a designated home on the farthest point of their patrol. Boston developed a similar paid night patrol in 1801 and in 1804 Detroit appointed its first team of civilian police officers. In 1844, New York City was the first American city to model its police department after the principals in Peel’s law that included offering service to all members of the public and maintaining a good relationship with the public (http://www.leineshideaway.com/PoliceHistory.html). Riots in many major U.S. cities from the 1830s through 1850s led to the formation of police departments in virtually every major U.S. city by the mid-1860s (Trojanowicz et. al., 1998). The Rise of Bicycle Use In the 1860s, the earliest pedal bicycles made of iron and wood called boneshakers appeared.

Acknowledgements Several persons outside of EPA have contributed inordinate efforts to recommend sources for this report and to review the preliminary draft. Marie Birnbaum of the DOT Office of the Assistant secretary of Transportation for Environment, Safety and Consumer Affairs (TES) and Cary Shaw of the Washington Area Bicycle Association contributed invaluable information without which the report research would have been impossible within the time constraints. In addition, John Cummins of Federal Highway Administration's Office of Chief Counsel, Steve Charnovitz of DOT's TES, and Vince Dearage of the Urban Bikeway Design Competition were instrumental in review and comment of the draft report.

  • 6. Recommended Supporting Programs and Facilities
    6. RECOMMENDED SUPPORTING PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES Support programs and facilities are important components of a bicycle transportation system. Bikeway facilities alone are not sufficient to increase cycling. The cycling environment can be improved by providing cyclists places to store their bicycles, showering and changing facilities at work, bicycle racks on buses, directional signage intended for cyclists, route maps, and educational and encouragement programs. Programs such as bikeway management and maintenance, and promotional and educational programs can improve safety and convenience for cyclists, and help to create the cultural shift that is necessary to increase bicycling. The City of Lafayette is a limited services city with a narrowly defined mission statement and a limited staff to provide only the very basic services related to police, planning and public works. As such, some recommendations that follow assume ideal funding and staffing availability that may never become available. Necessarily, these recommendations may need to be addressed by volunteer efforts; such is the tradition in this community. Absent volunteer efforts, it is recognized that the implementation of these items may only be a very long-term goal, notwithstanding any apparent “high” priority indicated. Proposed supporting actions, facilities and programs have been numbered sequentially. Priority level and responsible party have been suggested for the recommended items below. PLAN FOR THE NEEDS OF BICYCLISTS In order to effectively provide for the needs of bicyclists, a variety of planning activities are needed including acquiring funding, coordinating efforts and evaluating progress on implementing the plan. P-1. Anticipate Bicycle Needs in Transportation Planning Functions Priority: High Responsible Party: Engineering.
