Inside Life to the Legacy of the Twentieth Centu Ry 0 The Society of Automotiverna Historians, Inc . Issue 223 July-August 2006 The Three Henrys 7 By Jim Schild here were three men named Henry who had more influence on the auto­ mobile business then anyone else. These three Henrys created and nur­ www.autohistory.org T tured automobil e manufacturing businesses and concepts that li ve today, and their ideas continue to affect the way automobiles are built and marketed. They were all born in the middle of the nineteenth centu1y, but their vision gave Inside life to the legacy of the twentieth centu ry. There were a number of similarities in these men's lives, but their differences lay in the way each approached the busi­ ness of producing automobiles. The contributions to automotive perfec ti on and Ed itorial Comment 2 advancement of these three men cannot be overstated. The oldest of the three He 111ys was Henry Martyn Leland. Leland was born President's Perspective 3 February 16, 1843 to Leander and Zilpha Leland in Barton, Vermont. He n1y's Quaker parents taught him Christi an ethics and moral standards that included fa ir­ ness, kindness and the desire to help others. Henry was also taught that doing a SAH News 4 job properl y wa important not onl y because it was right but also becaus it was the most economical thing to do. Book Reviews 7 Henry Leland began working at age 11 in a wheel factory and later moved to the Crompton & Knowles loom works with his fa ther and brother. Henry MINI-Technik + Typen worked 60 hours a week for 3.00. By 1865 Leland had moved from the loom The Big Book of Car Culture works to the Springfi eld Armory and later to the Colt firearms factory in Hartford . After two years with Colt Leland went to work fo r precision machinery maker Motormen & Yachting- Brown & Sharpe in Providence, Rhode Island. It was at Brown & Sharpe that The Waterfront Heritage Leland began to utilize all of his experience and skills. of the Automobile Industry The second of our three Henrys was Frederick Henry Royce, born on March 27, 1863 to James and Mary Royce in AI walton, United Kingdom. Royce, like Pebble Beach Concours Leland, was not born to wealth and as a boy he sold new papers for W.H. Smith d'Eiegance-The Art & Sons. Because he needed to contribute to his family's support, Royce was only of the Poster able to attend school from age 11 to 12 and then went to work as a telegraph messenger at the Mayfair Post Office. It was around this age that Henry's aunt paid 20 pounds a year fo r an apprenticeship at the new Great Northern Ra ilway Letters 8 at Peterborough. Royce's landlord was a skilled fitter and machinist so Henry had the opportunity to learn the trade from him. Billboard 11 When Henry was 16 his aunt could no longer afford his apprenticeship so he found employment with a toolmaker in Leeds who paid him 11 shillings for a 54-hour week. Royce later went to work as a tester with the London Power and Light Company and was soon sent north as a technical advi or to the Lancashire Also Inside and Western Electric Company in Liverpool.

  • Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce For more than 100 years, the name of Rolls-Royce has been synonymous with Derby. Since 1907-08, when the Derby factory was first set up, thousands of people have earned a living there making first cars of quality and then aero-engines that would help win the Second World War and set a very high bar for worldwide engine manufacture. The company was founded by two pioneers of the motor and aero-engineering worlds - Charles Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce. They famously met in April, 1904, at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, when the Hon Charles Rolls was already the aristocratic young pioneer of motor racing with his own car sales firm and Henry, had set up F H Royce and Co, at Manchester making electric lamps, then cranes before turning his attention to cars, after he decided he could make a better one than the one he had bought in Paris in 1903. An agreement was reached that Royce Limited would manufacture a range of cars to be exclusively sold by CS Rolls & Co - they were to bear the name Rolls-Royce, which was limited and formed in 1906. Initially the fledgling company favoured Leicester for its new factory. But Derby’s offer was too good to disregard - not only did council officials propose suitable land at an affordable price, they gave assurances regarding additional land for future development. There was also a commitment to provide electricity at advantageous tariffs and provision for all other mains services. As well as building roads, there was provision for a railway siding into the factory site and the council said it would not oppose the building of homes for workers.

  • Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes
    Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes Alwalton – Some history Traces of early man have been found. In Roman times a building of some kind evidently existed at Alwalton, and various coins and pieces of pottery, etc., have been found. King Edred granted the land at Alwalton in 955 to his thegn Aelfsige Hunlafing. It was afterwards given to the Abbey of Peterborough, which held Alwalton at the time of the Conquest. Alwalton was listed in the Domesday Book [1086] as “Alwoltune”. It records that there were 20 households with a population between 70 and 100. In the 2011 census the population was 317. Alwalton used to be in the administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. Apparently locals are still fiercely loyal to the old county – or at least identify with it as a shire district, rather than Cambridgeshire. References Archive images – Alwalton British History Online – Alwalton British History Online – Parishes, Alwalton Welcome to Peterborough – Alwalton Wikipedia: Alwalton Wikipedia: Huntingdonshire Alwalton Marble Alwalton marble is known to have been used from the 12th century until 1875**. It was used in the cathedrals at Lincoln, Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and Ely, and in Southwell Minster, as well as many parish churches, such as Barnack. The quarry site has been identified as the Alwalton Lynch escarpment on the banks of the River Nene (which provided a convenient way of transporting the stone).

My special thanks go to Count Leopold Lippens, mayor of the town and president of the Zoute Automobile Club, the town of Knokke-Heist and all of its officials and the organisers of the Zoute Grand Prix. We have sourced an exciting and varied selection of automobilia and collectors’ motor cars, with a particularly strong accent on quality rather than quantity and with numerous lots offered without reserve allowing buyers not vendors to determine the current market correct values. Whether you are an experienced bidder wishing to enhance your collection or a first time buyer, I am confident that we offer something that will appeal to you – in addition where else in the world can you one day tell your grandchildren that you bid on and hopefully purchased the car they are driving in a spectacular tent on a beach! In our commitment to holding this sixth sale here in Belgium’s most prestigious seaside resort we very much wish to make a statement of our belief in the success of the five previous editions and in continuing the construction of a long and rewarding partnership with the above, as well as the event partners and sponsors over the coming years and share with them a common goal of providing another rewarding experience with the very best service.
