Nmza VETERAN and VINTAGE MOTORING
BEA D IBBBLS NmZa VETERAN AND VINTAGE MOTORING SEPTEMBER, 1966 "HORSELESS CARRIAGE" In 1893 the first gasoline pow ered motorcar in the U nited States cruised down the main streets of Springfield, Mass., at a speed of five mil es an hour! This car was mad e by two brothers , Charles E. and J. Frank Duryea. In 1896 Henry Ford drove his first car out. of the machine shop in Detroit. Later, his system of machine-made, interchangeable parts, and assembly line production, put. motorcars within the price range of the man-in-the-street. By the beginning of the 20th century, 8,000 motorcars were re gistered in the United States. These were powered by stea m, gasoline or electricity, and even then they did not look much like the original "Horseless Carriage." Some of the laws passed in the early days of the motorcar make us chuckle today. For instance, one community rul ed that if a horse refused to pass a motorcar the driver of the car mu st "take the machine apart •.. and conceal the parts in the grass". In som e places motorcars were banned entirely, and angry farmers guarded their livestock with shotguns against these "contraptions of the devil." It is easy to se e that early motorists were indeed brave pion eers, often running risks that would be hard to imagine today, for they also had to contend with the discomfort of rough roads, open driving seats and temperamental engines. Times have changed and those first motoring enthusiasts would be the first to appreciate the advances made both in car and tyre design since th e exciting, stimulating days of the "Horseless Carriage." 1 } S 1 FIRESTONE Tyres, since the earliest days of motoring, have f set the standard of reliability, economy and safety. -

The printers, Cambrian Printers. When these were correspondence has ‘snowballed’ a bit because being prepared for dispatch to printed copy the DVLA has come back, praying in aid of our old subscribers, they were found to be inside the friend, The Data Protection Act. I have written to 100gm weight step, but only just. To be on the my Member of Parliament suggesting a possible safe side I affixed sufficient postage to cover the solution (if the DVLA really want to be helpful) and next weight step, but it grieved me to overpay that’s where the matter currently rests. I’ll produce Royal Mail. So, for this issue, I will pay at the an update for the next issue. 100gm weight step and if this results in anybody The ’spammers’ have been at it again.

Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

The Tradsheet
The Tradsheet Founded 1967 Are we all ready for another season then? Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster February/March 2019 1 Editorial The clocks go back the weekend I am writing this, the sun has put in an appearance or two already and we have started the season with a breakfast meeting at Ashworth Barracks with a good turnout. Club nights have been very enjoyable all winter with a good num- ber coming along to enjoy each other’s company, some to stay on for the quiz but lighter evenings are on their way and the number of classics in the car park are increasing nicely already. Rodger Tre- hearn has again provided a list of events further on, he has entry forms at all club nights and the information is also on the club web- site, see Chair’s chat for more on that. Planning for the show at the College for the Deaf is well under way and we have fliers for you to give out to get another brilliant attendance. This raises a lot of money for charity and also helps our club fi- nances but, primarily, it is a great day out and is where we do the main club trophy judging. For those who won trophies last year, could you get them back to the club by the end of May please for engraving and getting ready for the show. If anyone needs them collecting, please let me know and I can organise that. We have another club event at Cusworth Hall on 12th May with a car limit of 40 and you must be there by 12 noon and not leave before 4pm to ensure public safety. -

The MG Y-Type in America
n the years immediately before the Second World War, MG sought to supplement their popular range of 'Midget' sports cars with three saloons of various sizes and engine capacities. These were the'S', 'V' and 'W' models. MG, at Abingdon-on-Thames, then in Berkshire, had grown by developing what were in essence Morris-based prod ucts, and in the future they would be compelled to use much from elsewhere in what was to become the Nuffield Organisation (Morris, Wolseley and later Riley). Nuffield heredity could be clearly seen in these pre-war saloons, which were in great part WolseJey-derived. The '\VA' had an engine capacity of 2,561cc, the 'SA ' had 2,288cc or 2,322cc, and the smallest of the group, the 'VA ', weighed in at 1,548cc. The next development to the range was to include one more saloon, of smaller engine capacity than the 'VA', and for a com ponent-base, the Cowley design office turned to Morris's Ten Four Series Msaloon which had been introduced during 1938, and the smaller Eight Series Ewhich was shown for the first time at the Earl's Court Motor Show of 13th October that same year. Thus was the prototype of the 'MG Ten', later to become known offiCially as the MG lX Litre Series 'Y' , developed for launch at the 1940 Motor Show. And, although it was primarily a Cowley concept, much of the fleshing out was done at Abingdon Steve Neal of Arrowsic, Maine, beaming with MG V-Type No. V/5241 , and it was therefore given the Abingdon Design Office prototype designation before restoration, which resulted in the two-tone beauty at top of page. -
