Mary Cattie, of the Philadelph i a Free Library, and Ervin Seltzer, the Commit­ tee Chairman, have informed us of a tie between Charles Bishop 1 s 11 La France et 1 11 11 L Automobile , Editions M. -Th. Genin; Paris, and G. N. Georgano•s A History of 11 Sports Cars , E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. The $100 award , donated by L. Scott Bailey, publisher of Automobile Quarterly, will be divided between the two authors and a suitable certificate will be presented to each . Not being able to read French, i cannot judge Charlie Bishop 1 s book, but I am very familiar with Nick Georgano•s worthwhile effort and assume that Bishop 1 s work is equally thorough and valuable. It looks as if this year•s judging will be even more difficult, since we have another book by Georgano and a spectacular one by Karl Ludvrgsen already published. These two, plus various articles and books that have yet to appear, give promise of a particularly good year in the field of automotive 1 iterature.

THE MAIL BAG Letters from Members The Portland Cyclecar I was amazed to see a picture of the Portland Cyclecar in Issue No. 23 of the Newslatter. Where did you find it? Here is what I have been able to find out about the Portland: The 1915 Portland City Directory has this entry: Portland Cyclecar Company, L. I. Thompson, President, 302 Corbett Building. The entry is not in the 1916 edition nor was it in the 1914 edition. Lewis I. Thompson was 42 years old when he died of heart disease in 1930. He was an architect and had gone to Hill Military Academy in Portland, and to Yale and Columbia Universities. He had formed the Portland Cycle car Company in December, 1913, with himself as president and C. J. McPherson as vice president. It was a closed corporation. · This article appeared in The Automobile, January 15, 1914: "The Portland is one of the unusual cyclecars employing a two cylinder two cycle V type motor, air cooled, and of 3~ x 3.67 inches bore and stroke. The feature of the car is the spring suspension. Three elliptic springs are placed in frpnt and two in the rear. The car propels through the rear springs, which tend to keep the belts tight. The car has a wheelbase of 96 inches and tread of 40 inches. The car complete sells for $400.00 with wire wheels and 28 x 2~ tires . The body is of the tandem type." There was a full size car being built in Oregon in 1916, but it was the Beaver, made in Gresham by the Beaver State Motor Company. It was not related to the Port­ land. The first Beaver was made in 1912. In addition, there was a Ford assembly plant in Portland. I doubt that the Portland went on to become a full size car, or even if it was made after 1915. Richard Larrowe, Route 1, Box 900, Corbett, Oregon 97019 Letters to the Secretary Since becoming S.A.H. secretary, I have received numerous nice letters from many members, and I thank you for them, one and all. One of the nicest letters I have ever received came recently from Dr. Vicente Alvarez. As you will recall, he was severely injured at Indianapolis last year, when the pace car crashed into the press trailer. He was hospitalized for quite some time, but now is back in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In his letter he said, "the only news I have for you is to tell you that this is the first letter I have written in many, many months." He continued "I am still in trouble but feeling quite a bit better." He told of enjoying the beach. That is something which all of us in the cooler parts of the northern hemisphere envy during the winter months. He apologized for his poor hand writing, but frankly, no apology was needed. I am sure Dr. Alvarez would be delighted to hear from any of our members who will take a minute to write to him. Note his new address: Dr. Vicente Alvarez Caseros 751 - 3°.G Buenos Aires, Argentina We all wish you an early and complete recovery, Dr. Alvarez. R. Perry zavitz, 460 Ridgewood Crescent, London 63, Ontario, Canada SAH Newsletter No. 24 - Page 2 The Silver Knight - No End in Sight So you thought you had seen the end of Silver-Knight photographs for the S.A.H. Newsletter, eh? How is this dandy? It's a 1915 Silver-Knight, made by Willys, which I found in the old Willys-Overland files acquired by American Motors with the Kaiser-Jeep pur­ chase two years ago. We are not finding much, but when we come across a gem like thi~ one, we want to give it circulation - and we can't help wondering where it was taken , and who were the people in the car. Please return the print at your convenience. And keep up the good work. John A. Conde, 1340 Fieldway Drive, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48013 Editor Is Note: For the benefit of those who may have c6me; in_late, the activities of c. T. Silver, whose silver Speci~l aut~mobiles have beef+ pictured in ~ever~l issues of the Newsletter, will be featured in an article in a future issue~ All this has resulted from an inquiry made by a non-member (who has since become a member), w. Louis Barmmer, Stratford, Conn. Mr. Barmmer accompanied his letter with a remarkably accurate free hand sketch of the car as he remembered it from many years ago. This was published in Newsletter No. 17. Replies to this original inquiry have turned up quantities of material and photos of the cars of c. T. Silver, which were based upon Willys-Knight, Apperson and Kissel chasses - and there may have been others . SAH Newsletter No. 24 - Page 3 C. T. Silver and the Willys-Overland Co. July, 1913.

  • Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation and Cleanup
    Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation & Cleanup RR-894 February 2017 The former Chrysler Engine Plant property is located in the heart of Kenosha in southeast Wisconsin. The plant first opened for automobile production in 1902 under Thomas B. Jeffery and was part of Kenosha’s long-standing history in auto manufacturing, later housing Nash Motors and American Motors Company. The Kenosha Engine Plant property is 107 acres in size. Approximately 3,700 residential-related properties – of which 2,400 are single-family homes – and eight schools are located within one-half mile of the plant. Its general boundaries are: 52nd Street to the north; 60th Street to the south; 24th Avenue to the east; and 30th Avenue to the west. Over the years, a series of mergers and buyouts changed the company name several times – Nash Motors, Nash- Kelvinator and American Motors are a few examples. Eventually the Chrysler Corporation bought the site, and in 1998 Chrysler itself was bought by DaimlerAG, which owned the site until 2007, when Cerberus Capital Management bought the company. After manufacturing automobiles and automobile parts for over 100 years, the plant was a casualty of the 2009 recession and was shut down in the fall of 2010, after the A sign describing the history of auto production in Chrysler Corporation declared bankruptcy. Kenosha on the fence outside the Kenosha Engine Plant (photo courtesy DNR). Old Carco, a liquidation bankruptcy trust, owned the property after the Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings were finalized in May 2010. A settlement agreement, filed in the US Bankruptcy Court in October 2011, was reached with the state of Wisconsin, the city of Kenosha, the United States Government, JP Morgan Chase Bank (the first lien holder of the property), and the Old Carco Liquidation Trust.

This is an invitation only event which features rare and outstanding automobiles Concours d Elegance Zoute Grand Prix Knokke-Zoute Belgium JAN DYCK of Belgium participated in this October 6, 2012 event. His car was awarded the honor of being chosen as the promotional vehicle for the 2013 Event As a lot of the Nash Healey Owners will know, there were 3 push rod cylinder heads with Hemispherical shaped combustion chambers made for the Nash Healey race cars that ran at the 24 hours of LeMans. I have attached an article from the November 1952 Road and Track magazine with the history of same. The head was designed and produced in England and while it produced a giant horsepower increase it failed to finish the 24 hour endurance race as explained in the article. The head is a cross flow design with six separate (flat 1.5") intake ports with two studs each on the right side and six separate exhaust ports of the same design on left side. Both the intake and exhaust ports and valves are much larger than the normal N/H cylinder head could accomodate and should be able to breathe for an engine to near 300 HP. The exhaust valves are operated via a transverse push rod crossing the head to the exhaust rocker arm on the left side of the head.

  • Four Engineers Share Walter P. Chrysler Technology Award for Jeep Innovation
    Contact: Eric Mayne Four Engineers Share Walter P. Chrysler Technology Award for Jeep Innovation February 26, 2014, Auburn Hills, Mich. - This year’s Walter P. Chrysler Technology Award goes to four engineers whose patented innovation inspired the breakthrough four-wheel-drive system featured on the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Don Schmanski, Mike Nemeth, Joe Kubina and Pete Jarzyna hold U.S. Patent No. 8172712, which covers the power transfer unit and associated components that contribute to no-compromise 4WD performance in a vehicle with a transverse engine and front-wheel-drive architecture. The innovation was among 44 patented technologies considered for the prestigious award honoring Walter P. Chrysler, whose creative vision pioneered the Company. “This PTU technology exemplifies true problem solving creativity that is a hallmark of Chrysler Group engineering,” says Ed Smith, Assistant General Counsel-Intellectual Property. “It mitigates the vehicle-efficiency penalty historically associated with on-demand 4WD without diminishing 4WD capability, a feature that is fundamental to the Jeep brand and critical to so many customers. This invention allowed Chrysler to offer a 4WD package that achieves optimal functionality and efficiency.” The patent describes a reduction hub controlled by a range selector with high, low and neutral settings. It is used to engage a planetary gear assembly that drives a transaxle’s output shaft. The resulting technology enables the 2014 Jeep Cherokee to boast crawl ratios up to 56:1, while also contributing to a 2.5% fuel-economy improvement, compared with conventional on-demand systems. Judging for the annual Walter P. Chrysler Technology Award – first bestowed in 1994 – is performed by a panel of more than 40 Chrysler Group subject experts, along with previous award winners.

  • The Jefferys Quad and Nash Quad — 4X4 Ancestor to the Willys Jeep.Pdf
    The Jefferys Quad and Nash Quad — 4x4 Ancestor to the Willys Jeep http://www.allpar.com/SUVs/jeep/jeffery-quad.html The “Quad” in the Jefferys and Nash Quad tells exactly what it was: a four wheel drive vehicle, one of the first successful ones ever to be made. There were other four wheel drive vehicles made at the time, but none enjoyed the reputation or success of the Jefferys Quad. The company responsible for the Quad was built, from the ground up, by Thomas Jeffery. Jeffery, an innovative tinkerer and inventor, had emigrated from Great Britain at the age of 17, in 1862. He always had things to do to earn a living, using his mind and his hands. Thomas Jeffery and Rambler Jeffery settled in Chicago, where he built several models of high quality and fairly priced telescopes. As his fortunes increased, he cast about for other things to do and make. He found one well paid enterprise in construction of models for inventions through the Unites States Patent Office. He was able to see what lay ahead for possible new enterprises for industrial things. One such exercise allowed him to meet a future business partner. Jeffery had already put together a new bicycle with a vastly strengthened frame, using a far less expensive manufacturing method, through the use of flared tubing, brazed together on a production line. The partner offered to put up the initial money to get the company started; Jeffery quickly agreed, though he had enough money of his own to do so, allowing him to save his own capital.
