Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order. The files, which focus on technical aspects, were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature. There are occasional copies of blueprints and photographs. The Subject Files are kept in 11 filing cabinets. Cabinets 1-7 focus on automotive technology; 8-9 on industry and markets; and 10-11 concern automotive racing. Boxes 1-18 cover a wide variety of topics, many overlapping the contents of the filing cabinets. There is some overlap with Series 2 (Marque Files). For ease of access, the series is sorted by the folder contents. Series 2. Marque Files [18 filing cabinets] The Marque Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive manufacturers, and are in general alphabetical order.

The VHS and cassette tapes have not been digitized. Processing Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers underwent several phases of processing since 2011. Different series may have dissimilar numbering or methods of content description. Series 1 (Subject Files) was kept in Ludvigsen’s original filing cabinets. In 2017, a miscellaneous mix of reports and other documentation in no comprehensive original order were intellectually merged into the series and were placed in record center cartons. Several photographic collections that Ludvigsen had obtained were transferred from Series 3 (Photographs) and original order and provenance were largely lost. They are now available as separate collections on the Revs Digital Library. ▪ Edward Eves photographs, 1953-1988 (Revscat 123257) ▪ John Dugdale photographs, 1937-1957 (Revscat 123259) ▪ Max LeGrand photographs, 1958-1994 (Revscat 123258) ▪ Ove Nielsen photographs, 1970-1988 (Revscat 123255) ▪ Peter Keen photographs, 1950s (Revscat 117727) ▪ Richard Pelatowski photographs, 1959 (Revscat 117959) ▪ Rodolfo Mailander photographs, 1950-1955 (Revscat 123256) ▪ Stanley Rosenthall photographs, 1952-1970 (Revscat 123261) ▪ Marcus Chambers photographs, 1988-1996 (Revscat 117801) Between 2011-2015, many undigitized photographic prints were partially reorganized, combining prints not just from Ludvigsen, but also the Bruce R. Craig collection, Albert Bochroch collection, and the Collier collection. Original order and provenance were largely lost. These items were left as Series 6 (Photographic Prints, Miscellaneous). Ludvigsen’s book and magazine collection was processed separately, and each title is available in the Revs Library catalog. Language: Materials are mostly in English. Biography: Karl E. Ludvigsen (1934-) was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and has been an active author and historian for over 50 years. He began his career in automotive editing and writing at MIT’s Tech Engineering News in 1953. Ludvigsen also served as the technical editor for Sports Cars Illustrated (1956-1957), editor of Car and Driver (1960-1962), and the east coast editor of Motor Trend (1970s). In 1978, Ludvigsen joined Fiat Motors of North America as Executive Vice President, and later, in 1980 was hired by Ford of Europe in England as a Vice President. Ludvigsen left Ford in 1983 to establish Ludvigsen Associates Limited in London. In 2001, the Society of Automotive Historians awarded Ludvigsen with the Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot Award, for the third time, and in 2002, with the Friend of Automotive History Award.

The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

  • 100 Years of Bugatti at Concorso D'eleganza
    100 years of Bugatti at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este CERNOBBIO 26 04 2009 IN A FURTHER HIGHLIGHT ON THIS YEAR’S AGENDA OF CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS, BUGATTI AUTOMOBILES S.A.S. PRESENTED FOUR BUGATTI VEYRON SPECIALS AT VILLA D’ESTE CONCORSO D’ELEGANZA. In a further highlight on this year’s agenda of centennial celebrations, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. presented four Bugatti Veyron specials at Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza. These one off models are reminders of Bugatti’s glorious motor-racing history which played a central role in popularising and ultimately establishing the myth which the brand continues to enjoy to this day. The Bugatti brand is almost inextricably linked to the Type 35. The Type 35 Grand Prix was by far the most successful racing model. The unmistakable radiator grille and eight-spoke aluminium wheels of the Type 35 have become defining features of the Bugatti automobile. In its day, the Grand Prix was also well ahead of its time in terms of engineering ingenuity. The front axle design of this vehicle, which, for reasons of weight minimisation, is hollow, is a true masterpiece of workmanship and was deemed nothing less than revolutionary. Its springs were passed through the axle to produce a high level of stability. The Grand Prix’s brake drums were integrally fitted into its lightweight aluminium wheels. Unfastening the central wheel nut allowed the wheel to be easily removed within a matter of seconds and the brake to be exposed. This was a crucial advantage at the pit stop. 2000 wins in ten years The blue racers made their first appearance on the race track at the Grand Prix held by Automobil Club de France in Lyon in 1924.

  • 1985: Il Sogno Diventa Realtà
    Riprende il nostro viaggio all’interno del Minardi Team e, in questo nuovo capitolo, affronteremo insieme il momento più importante, l’esordio nel Mondiale di Formula 1, al Gran Premio del Brasile sul tracciato di Rio nonostante i vari problemi legati ad un debutto così importante 1985: Il sogno diventa realtà Nel 1984 Gian Carlo Minardi era riuscito ad accumulare un grande bagaglio professionale come Team Manager e il suo Minardi Team aveva attirato grande attenzione su di se, nonostante i risultati ottenuti fino a quel momento non avessero ripagato pienamente gli sforzi. Da qualche anno ormai Gian Carlo Minardi pensava al grande salto di categoria, alla Formula 1, a quel mondo dove anche i più grandi e potenti personaggi erano andati in contro a numerose difficoltà per via degli elevati costi. Questo però non fermò Minardi che fissò per l’anno successivo il debutto nella massima serie, decidendo di andare avanti nonostante la mancanza di uno sponsor miliardario alle spalle che potesse finanziare la nascita della F1 romagnola: supporter che andavano trovati strada facendo, anche perché ormai il Minardi Team era composta da 22 persone, troppi per un F.2 ma pochi per l’avventura in F.1 e quindi bisognava trovare nuovi finanziatori, i quali erano però interessati solamente alla massima categoria. Foto1: Una fase della costruzione della scocca della “M 184 Alfa Romeo” – Foto tratta da: Minardi Team F1 di Stefano Pasini, Ed. C.E.L.I Sport 6 In vista del debutto Minardi decise quindi di andare a fare un’offerta all’Alfa Romeo per rilevare la sua scuderia di F.1 che non stava vivendo certamente un periodo particolarmente felice a causa degli scarsi risultati sportivi e degli elevati costi di gestione.

  • Bernd Rosemeyer
    Sidepodchat – Bernd Rosemeyer Christine: This is show three of five, where Steven Roy turns his written words into an audio extravaganza. These posts were originally published at the beginning of the year on Sidepodcast.com but they are definitely worth a second airing. Steven: Bernd Rosemeyer. Some drivers slide under the door of grand prix racing unnoticed and after serving a respectable apprenticeship get promoted into top drives. Some, like Kimi Räikkönen, fly through the junior formulae so quickly that they can only be granted a license to compete on a probationary basis. One man never drove a race car of any description before he drove a grand prix car and died a legend less than 3 years after his debut with his entire motor racing career lasting less than 1,000 days. Bernd Rosemeyer was born in Lingen, Lower Saxony, Germany on October 14th 1909. His father owned a garage and it was here that his fascination with cars and motor bikes began. The more I learn about Rosemeyer the more he seems like a previous incarnation of Gilles Villeneuve. Like Gilles he had what appeared to be super-natural car control. Like Gilles he seemed to have no fear and like Gilles he didn’t stick rigidly to the law on the road. At the age of 11 he borrowed his father’s car to take some friends for a drive and when at the age of 16 he received his driving license it was quickly removed after the police took a dim view to some of his stunt riding on his motor bike.

I think it’s proBaBly self explanatory But this is a series dedicated to profiling some of the forgotten teams. Forget aBout your Ferrari’s and your McLaren’s, what aBout those who didn’t make such an impact on the sport, But still have a story to tell? Those are the ones you’ll hear today. Thanks should go to Scott Woodwiss for suggesting the topic, and the teams, and we’ll dive right in with Simtek Grand Prix. Simtek Grand Prix was Born from Simtek Research Ltd, the name standing for Simulation Technology. The company founders were Nick Wirth and Max Mosley, Both of whom had serious pedigree within motorsport. Mosley had Been a team owner Before with March, and Wirth was a mechanical engineering student who was snapped up By March as an aerodynamicist, working underneath Adrian Newey. When March was sold to Leyton House, Mosley and Wirth? Both decided to leave, and joined forces to create Simtek. Originally, the company had a single office in Wirth’s house, But it was soon oBvious they needed a Bigger, more wind‐tunnel shaped Base, which they Built in Oxfordshire.
