  • The Trojan Horse: Imported Automobiles
    CHAPTER 5 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. THE TROJAN HORSE: IMPORTED AUTOMOBILES In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the furor for bicycles as a personal and economical means of transport led to the invasion of the French market by English and American firms—leading to fierce commercial competition with the country’s own industries—resulting in the collapse of 1898. In the early stages of the new century the full development of the European automobile industry and in particular the French sector—with the inseparable development of the tire—produced a similar effect. However, this time it was the American market that was invaded by imported European vehicles, pre- dominantly from France. 1. Transatlantic travel on wheels Between 1890 and 1891 the first French vehicles marketed by Peugeot—one of the major bicycle manu- facturers—and Panhard et Levassor, appeared on the scene and incorporated the internal combustion engine developed by the German Gottlieb Daimler. French and German investments in technology, which would be imposed on the rest, was based on gasoline-powered engines and collided with the English and North American options, diversified between vapor, electric and gas-powered automobiles. Production data from the United States in 1899 show that there were 2,500 vehicles—about 80% of which used electric or steam engines—manufactured by around 30 companies. Between 1900 and 1901, France was by far the world’s largest automobile producer.

  • New Zealand's First Two Motor Cars
    New Zealand’s First Two Motor Cars Imported into Wellington in February 1898 By Dr John Osborne FTC, DTT, PhD, MSAEA, MSAEI, MIAME, FSG Wellington Entrepreneur William Mclean (born 1845 in Grantown, Inverness-shire, Scotland, emigrated to New Zealand in 1863), returned to Britain to attend Queen Victoria’s Jubilee celebrations in June 1897, then carried on to France where he visited the car manufactures. Acting on behalf of the proposed New Zealand Motor Car Syndicate McLean purchased two Benz type cars from a Paris Showroom, in October 1897 he oversaw their disassembly, crating and shipping them aboard the “Rotomahana” to New Zealand. (It is not known if these two Benz type cars were new or used or whether they were French or German made research continues.) In 1897 the French were world leaders in car production, with over 20 car manufacturers including Crouan (fitted with automatic advance and retard ignition and pneumatic transmission), Darracq, De Dion–Bouton (made the worlds first high-speed petrol engine in 1895), Delahaye, Foucher-Delachanal, Gobron-Brillie, Gardner (designed by Englishman Charles W James, and made in the Paris factory owned by American Frank L Gardner), Klaus, Krieger, Lacoste-Battmann, (who later made cars under aliases), Le Blon (chassis could be supplied for any type of body), Le Brun, Lufbery, Marchand, Mors, Panhard-Levassor (P&L), Peugoet, Renault, Rochet-Schneider and Roger. Believed to be New Zealand’s First Motor Car imported in February 1898 by William Mclean which he named “PETROLETTE” The car has been converted from tiller arm to wheel steering c1899.

Early car history – investigation of the establishment of a ‘design paradigm’ C. Dowlen South Bank University, London, UK Abstract The early development of the car appears to have been a period of uncertainty, with a selection of component layouts being developed before manufacturers hit on a particular embodiment that became a definitive ‘car’. This paper investigates how car form and layout became what is termed a ‘Design Paradigm’ (Dowlen 1999) for the car, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Layout and form variables are investigated from 453 colour-slide examples over the whole period of the existence of the car. The results show that the layout is significant to the concept of a car, and shows that a tightly constrained design layout paradigm develops around 1904, developing from a broad range of layout concepts.

  • Daimler-Knight
    ENRESO WORLD - ILab Knight Engine Istas René Graduated in Automotive Technlogies 8-10-2018 Charles Yale Knight Inventor of the Knight Engine BORN: 1868 Indiana, USA DIED: 1940 ENRESO WORLD - ILab Page 2 Introduction The Knight engine was an internal combustion engine, where no inlet and outlet valves were used, but sliding plates. A sliding engine is born. Happy reading, Istas René ENRESO WORLD - ILab Page 3 Knight together with financier L.B. Kilbourne founded an engine factory, where the engine was produced on a large scale. The best known model that was fitted with the engine was the Willys- Knight. Many other manufacturers also sold models with the name Knight in the type designation to distinguish the car from the regular models. Knight also made it possible to have the engine produced under license. In addition, he received royalties for each car sold. The sliding engine was relatively successful, but the production costs were high, so the engine could only be used in the more expensive car segment. In addition, the engine's performance was lagging behind and its reliability, due to the complex construction, was too low. From 1905 to 1907 Knight also produced its own car, the Silent Knight. The name refers to the relatively quiet character of the sliding engine compared to the regular side valves of the time. Knight design had two cast iron sleeves per cylinder, one sliding in the other, with the piston in the interior. The sleeves were operated by small connecting rod driven by an eccentric shaft and had gates cut out at their top ends.

  • Classic Cars: a New Alternative Investment Vehicle?
    MSc. Thesis Classic Cars: A New Alternative Investment Vehicle? Date: 21-09-2017 Student: Dries Laurs ANR: 747398 Supervisor: prof. dr. Luc Renneboog Second reader: dr. C.A.R. Schneider Abstract This thesis investigates the price determinants and investment performance of classic cars. We investigate a sample of over 29,000 classic car auction sales conducted between January 1998 and July 2017. A hedonic regression methodology is used in order to construct several constant-quality classic car price indices. Based on these indices, we estimate that classic cars appreciated in value by around 3.37 % and 5.63 % annually, respectively in real and in nominal terms. Compared to other asset classes, return performance has been strong. Over the period covered, only gold outperformed classic cars. When we incorporate dividend yields into equity returns, we find that equities as an asset class slightly outperform classic cars. On a risk-adjusted basis, the performance is similar, with both asset classes showing Sharpe ratios of around 0.30. Comparing the risk-adjusted performance of classic cars to other asset classes, we find that gold and government bonds outperformed classic cars, as measured by their larger Sharpe ratios. We find that classic car investments partially hedge against inflation. Accounting for non-synchroneity in the returns between classic cars and equity markets, we find a much stronger relationship between the two than initially expected. This shows that wealth effects are important drivers of classic car returns. While this limits the diversification potential of classic cars, the systematic risk of classic car investments remains low. Contents 1.

Route. I am sure that this brochure will prove to be a We must be grateful to the dedicated motoring historians who have unearthed so many interesting facts about the 1903 race, including the lobbying campaign to bring it to Laois, Carlow and Kildare, which stressed its value for tourism and the improvements it would bring to the roads. In 1903, the motorcar had a future that few would have dreamt of in those days when the speed limit in Britain and Ireland was 12 miles per hour. A special Act of Parliament was passed to allow the circuit to be closed in for the Gordon Bennett Cup and this enabled the winning Belgian driver to average 49.2 miles per hour in a time of 6 hours and 39 minutes. The original route is now a focused tourist attraction in its own right, taking in quiet and scenic country roads, towns and villages, with many heritage attractions. I congratulate all involved in this excellent brochure and I hope its wide circulation and association with the annual rallies and other motoring events will do much to promote the great benefits of motor sport and tourism in these counties.
