Editor’s/Plates Notes

Sometimes there is good news, well at least for me; I received an email from a business house out of town that I deal with pretty regularly as Editor. They sent an invoice questioning if we had received an item. I responded with “YES, should have said NO and got a free one” Their response was “Russell you are too nice to be dishonest”. Made my day!

I had a good laugh at a comment on Facebook – Commented “This is the face of the person who dobbed you in for having a modified on HCRS H plates.” Just goes to show what some people think of the HCRS Policy. Modified do not belong on H plates, RMS Policy.

Another funny one, although Burnie Rutter’s Tractor is registered it did/does not come up on a registration search with the RMS. The RMS operator’s supervisor Happy Motoring said that H plated vehicles do not show up. After 10 minutes walking the RMS through the procedure and using Wayne Reeks rego number which came up instantly, left me on hold to talk to her supervisor. Apparently if there is no previous normal registration it will not show up. Happy Motoring

FEBRUARY 5 2018 - 4:00PM Kathy Denning joins Hidden Treasures Honour Roll

Cowra Crankhandle Page 5

A huge congratulations to Kathy on her addition to the 2017 Honour Roll for hidden treasures. Awarded for behind the scenes service within community groups History of

Workers at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd alongside one of the prototype automobiles. Mitsubishi's automotive origins date back to 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A, Japan's first series-production automobile.[12] An entirely hand-built seven- seater sedan based on the Fiat Tipo 3, it proved expensive compared to its American and European mass- produced rivals, and was discontinued in 1921 after only 22 had been built.[13]

In 1934, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was merged with the Mitsubishi Aircraft Co., a company established in 1920 to manufacture aircraft engines and other parts. The unified company was known as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and was the largest private company in Japan.[14] MHI concentrated on manufacturing aircraft, ships, railroad cars and machinery, but in 1937 developed the PX33, a prototype sedan for military use. It was the first Japanese-built passenger car with full-time four-wheel drive, a technology the company would return to almost fifty years later in its quest for motorsport and sales success.[15]

A 1937 Mitsubishi PX33 on display at the Mondial de l'Automobile in September 2006. Post-war era Immediately following the end of the Second World War, the company returned to manufacturing vehicles. bus production resumed, while a small three-wheeled cargo vehicle called the Mizushima and a called the Silver Pigeon were also developed. However, the zaibatsu (Japan's family-controlled industrial conglomerates) were ordered to be dismantled by the Allied powers in 1950, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was split into three regional companies, each with an involvement in motor vehicle development: West Japan Heavy- Industries, Central Japan Heavy-Industries, and East Japan Heavy-Industries.

East Japan Heavy-Industries began importing the , an inexpensive American sedan built by Kaiser Motors, in knockdown kit (CKD) form in 1951, and continued to bring them to Japan for the remainder of the car's three- year production run. The same year, Central Japan Heavy-Industries concluded a similar contract with Willys (now owned by Kaiser) for CKD-assembled Jeep CJ-3Bs. This deal proved more durable, with licensed Mitsubishi Jeeps in production until 1998, thirty years after Willys themselves had replaced the model.

By the beginning of the 1960s Japan's economy was gearing up; wages were rising and the idea of family motoring was taking off. Central Japan Heavy-Industries, now known as Shin Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries, had already re-established an automotive department in its headquarters in 1953. Now it was ready to introduce the Mitsubishi 500, a mass market sedan, to meet the new demand from consumers. It followed this in 1962 with the Minica car and the Colt 1000, the first of its Colt line of family cars, in 1963. In 1964, Mitsubishi introduced its

Cowra Crankhandle Page 6 largest passenger sedan, the Mitsubishi Debonair as a luxury car primarily for the Japanese market, and was used by senior Mitsubishi executives as a company car.

West Japan Heavy-Industries (now renamed Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering) and East Japan Heavy- Industries (now Mitsubishi Nihon Heavy-Industries) had also expanded their automotive departments in the 1950s, and the three were re-integrated as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1964. Within three years its output was over 75,000 vehicles annually. Following the successful introduction of the first Galant in 1969 and similar growth with its commercial vehicle division, it was decided that the company should create a single operation to focus on the automotive industry. Corporation (MMC) was formed on April 22, 1970 as a wholly owned subsidiary of MHI under the leadership of Tomio Kubo, a successful engineer from the aircraft division.

The logo of three red diamonds, shared with over forty other companies within the keiretsu, predates Mitsubishi Motors itself by almost a century. It was chosen by Iwasaki Yatarō, the founder of Mitsubishi, as it was suggestive of the emblem of the Tosa Clan who first employed him, and because his own family crest was three rhombuses stacked atop each other. The name Mitsubishi (三菱) consists of two parts: "mitsu" meaning "three" and "hishi" (which becomes "bishi" under rendaku) meaning "water caltrop" (also called "water chestnut"), and hence "rhombus", which is reflected in the company's logo

Chrysler connection 1970s

1971 MHI sold U.S. automotive giant Chrysler a 15 percent share in the new company. Thanks to this deal, Chrysler began selling the Galant in the United States as the Dodge Colt (which was the first rebadged Mitsubishi product sold by Chrysler), pushing MMC's annual production beyond 250,000 vehicles. In 1977, the Galant was sold as the Chrysler Sigma in Australia. Part of Mr. Kubo's expansion strategy was to increase exports by forging alliances with well-established foreign companies. Therefore, in

A 1973 , the basis for the company's first import deal with Chrysler. By 1977, a network of "Colt"-branded distribution and sales dealerships had been established across Europe, as Mitsubishi sought to begin selling vehicles directly. Annual production had by now grown from 500,000 vehicles in 1973 to 965,000 in 1978, when Chrysler began selling the Galant as the Dodge Challenger and the Plymouth Sapporo. However, this expansion was beginning to cause friction; Chrysler saw their overseas markets for subcompacts as being directly encroached by their Japanese partners, while MMC felt the Americans were demanding too much say in their corporate decisions.

1980s Mitsubishi finally achieved annual production of one million cars in 1980, but by this time its ally was not so healthy; As part of its battle to avoid bankruptcy, Chrysler was forced to sell its Australian manufacturing division to MMC that year. The new Japanese owners renamed it Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd (MMAL).

In 1982, the Mitsubishi brand was introduced to the American market for the first time. The Tredia sedan, and the Cordia and Starion coupés, were initially sold through seventy dealers in 22 states, with an allocation of 30,000 vehicles between them. This quota, restricted by mutual agreement between the two countries' governments, had to be included among the 120,000 cars earmarked for Chrysler. Toward the end of the 1980s, as MMC initiated a major push to increase its U.S. presence, it aired its first national television advertising campaign, and made plans to increase its dealer network to 340 dealers.

In 1986 Mitsubishi reached an agreement with Liuzhou Automotive to assemble their Minicab kei van and truck there, making Mitsubishi the third Japanese manufacturer (after Daihatsu and Suzuki) to begin assembly in China. Before receiving government approval for this project, Mitsubishi had had to express contrition over "defective" Mitsubishi trucks imported to China in 1984 and 1985. By 1989, Mitsubishi's worldwide production, including its overseas affiliates, had reached 1.5 million units.

Diamond-Star Motors

A 1984 , the company's most successful SUV. Despite the ongoing tensions between Chrysler and Mitsubishi, they agreed to unite in a vehicle manufacturing operation in Normal, Illinois. The 50/50 venture provided a way to circumvent the voluntary import restrictions, while providing a new line of compact and subcompact cars for Chrysler. Diamond-Star Motors (DSM)—from the parent companies' logos: three diamonds (Mitsubishi) and a pentastar (Chrysler)—was incorporated in October 1985, and in April 1986 ground was broken on a 1.9 million square-foot (177,000 m²) production facility. In 1987, the company was selling 67,000 cars a year in the U.S., but when the plant was completed in March 1988 it offered an annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles. Initially, three platform-sharing compact 2+2 coupés were released, the , Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser, with other models being introduced in subsequent years. Ladies Page

Veal with avocado, prosciutto and cheese INGREDIENTS 4 veal leg steaks olive oil, for brushing salt and cracked black pepper 8 slices prosciutto 2 avocados, halved, peeled and stone removed ¾ cup grated low-fat mozzarella steamed vegetables, to serve METHOD Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Brush the veal steaks with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook steaks in batches for 1-2 minutes each side, then remove and cool slightly. Take each avocado half and place cut-side down on a board. Slice into diagonal pieces (wedges), keeping the tip of the avocado intact. Press lightly in the middle of the avocado and the flesh will come out.

Wrap two slices of prosciutto around each steak then carefully top with an avocado 'fan'. Divide the grated cheese over the steaks. Place under a preheated hot grill and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables.

Submitted by Ray Heilman Australia Day at Wombat Wombat is a town 12 kilometres towards Cootamundra from Young NSW. Went and had a look. Pretty small but enough to keep you busy for a good few hours. Tractor pull was fantastic and the display of cars also pretty good. It was great to catch up with friends from the Young Club.

Open Day 28th January Busy all day – yes absolutely flat out ------talking !!!!! Always a great relaxing day, although the gardens got a good soaking, just to encourage rain which never eventuated. Visitor from Cootamundra first up was very interesting and knowledgeable on Railway Stations. WE wandered and talked for a considerable time. I asked him about the oversized vent in what is our storeroom. Never been able to work out what the room would have been used for. He came up with a logical possibility and after closer inspection tend to agree. I had never noticed a 8” diameter hole in the ceiling on the carpark side of the room. His suggestion was a LAUNDRY, the excess size vent to extract moisture and the 6” hole for the old copper. I must do some more research. Last couple were closer to closing time, one just had a knee reconstruction and the other a hip, the pair hobbled, sat, hobbled some more and sat, but were very interested in the station. As we all had been on the go since 6:00 am we succumbed to a 5 minute early mark, all tired but happy.

Pic-a-Park 6th February Fantastic night, clear beautiful evening and an enormous amount of different topics discussed everything from the Harbour Bridge, to our school days, grandchildren, cars, Bathurst Swap and everything in between. It was very pleasant and at times hilarious, just for a change Joyce out did Ian. Ian was trying to tell us all something and everyone interjected not allowing Ian to get it out. Towards the end of the interjections Joyce started talking to Ian. You really had to be there, it was a very funny moment. There were many funny moments, it is very relaxing after a busy day to just sit and chat.

Gnoo Blas 17th February This was somewhat of a strange day, nothing wrong, just different. It all started with Russell forgetting his booking number to get into Gnoo Blas, so a quick trip home to pick it up. There were only two vehicles at the station, only one club car. The run to Gnoo Blas was very pleasant, just a lovely drive. On arrival we were told where the others from the club were parked, so we headed up to join Barry and Alan with the MGB and VB Commodore. Gazebo’s erected, morning tea, sit and chat was the agenda. Noooooo!! Not going to happen is it? My quick trip to the loo ended up taking 40 minutes. Spotted another Volvo 242GT, walked up to have a look and the owner came over. Turns out he is an EX-TAFE Auto Teacher from St George, so there was 10 minutes talk on the Volvo and the rest on TAFE. Leaving there I heard a yell G’Day Russell, from Lloyd Buttriss, just a wave and we will catch up later. Some of you may know that Conobolas in Orange has been on fire, the fire near Nigel’s (Lloyd’s Son) property. Nigel and his family were evacuated very early from the fire area. A very harrowing time not knowing if your house survived or not for quite a few days. Nigel is relieved to find that beside a few fences lost, it appears no stock or property. So a fair amount of time was spent talking to Nigel. More time spent with Steve and his Honda S600, talking hood fit, fuel pumps. So most of my day was spent talking to friends that I haven’t seen for some time. Poor Alan, spent most of his day talking MGB, so many people looking at MGB, the star car today, by the end of the day one guy had looked at the MGB a dozen times. As we were leaving Alan was negotiating a sale. Never seen anything like it, all day long people looking over the MGB, which didn’t leave him much time either to sit or chat. Then there was the VB Commodore, not as many lookers, but what did look at the car admired and commented on its quality and originality.

Larry and Rodney pulled up in the Jaguar; Larry said he couldn’t stay long as he had bowling in the afternoon. I bet he missed a few cars in the time he had, just because the display was huge. As I said at the start it was a very strange day but it was most enjoyable time, I actually think I only saw about 70% of the vehicles, missed the motorcycles and the trucks.
