  • Mg Car Club History
    MG CAR CLUB HISTORY The first complete MG Car Club History was compiled by the late Mike Hawke and published in 2000 to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Club. The book was soon out of print, there was clearly a need for a replacement and Peter Browning volunteered to edit an enlarged and updated version. This is the first of a multi-part series. It is a little over six years since I put together a page of readers’ correspondence for The Light Car including the letter that started it all. It appeared over the signature of one Roy Marsh and was published in the issue of September 5, 1930. Why Not an MG Club? Being a very interested reader of The Light Car and Cyclecar, I notice that a number of one make clubs have been formed lately with very satisfactory results. Now Midget enthusiasts, what about an MG Car Club? There are hundreds of you and surely some very enjoyable social runs and trials could be arranged. Perhaps MG owners would let me have their opinions on the idea. Quite brief and to the point, it took immediate effect. That was as inevitable as the subsequent growth of the Club. You cannot have a lot of people rushing round the country in cars like MGs without wanting to get together. Various people wrote to various other people. HM Post Office was enriched by numerous pennies inserted in numerous slots and one or two more letters appeared in The Light Car. The upshot of it all was an announcement in that journal of an inaugural rally on October 12 for the purpose of formally bringing the Club into being.

  • Founded in the Year Nineteen Twenty-Four March 1980
    March 1980 MOTOR SPORT Founded in the year nineteen twenty-four offices would be possible is something to be discussed. The point is that two-tier control of motoring sport is vital and should take place quickly. Note that there is no suggestion whatsoever that the RAC, which controls British motoring sport with the approval of the Government, should be overthrown; only that it must be restrained from exploiting, knowingly or inadvertently, those Clubs and their hundreds of members which can less-well than the Big Battalions afford to pay ever- increasing permit and licensing fees. That the situation, in a world of galloping inflation and rising petrol costs, has become desperate, is evident when you realise that the Motor Cycling Club, the oldest sporting Motor Club in this country, which continues to organise its classic long-distance trials dating back to 1908, had to pay more in Ministry-of-Transport Authorisation-Fees to run last year’s Land’s End Trial than the RAC did to hold the sponsored International RAC Rally — something to do with the MCC having more entrants who cover a bigger mileage. It is understandable that the Forestry Commission has to charge for the alleged wear-and-tear that the MATTERS OF MOMENT passage of fast-moving rally cars cause to its forest tracks and for spectator protection (ropes and whistles), ■ EXPLOITATION IS A DIRTY WORD! but it is not clear to us why a Government Department should charge the MCC for competitions which use “Man’s rich with little, were his judgement true; public roads, with every competitor paying his or her Nature is frugal, and her wants are few; These few normal road-licence duty.

    Founded 1967 There have definitely been a few silent nights for the club this year but, hopefully, we will be back to Hark the Herald by spring. Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster December 2020/January 2021 Email special due to Covid 19 virus 1 Editorial Hello again, I hope that I find you all safe and well, even if a bit restricted. The review of this last year won’t take long, I’ve not done much or been anywhere much but am still here so it’s not all bad. If the vaccine roll out works better than some other things, the prediction is some return to ‘normal’ by East- er. Must admit that I see a conflict between normal and our club but I know what they mean. Spring is the time that we really start to get going with Breakfast meetings, Drive it day and show plan- ning can really pick up so we may be back in full flow at our usual time, we will see. A reminder that the committee is proposing to carry over subs to 2021 as we were effectively shut for most of this year. We have found a way to carry on with Tradsheet and our members only Facebook page has kept us informed and entertained. The website has been running throughout and has visitors from all over the world looking to see what we are up to. In that respect, we have carried on as best we can and have fared better than some clubs that have all but disappeared for the time being.

  • The Michelin Steel Disc Wheel, a Business Opportunity
    CHAPTER 13 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 MICHELIN STEEL DISC WHEEL, A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY The productive diversification undertaken by Michelin et Cie. and their Italian subsidiary to cover the needs of the French army and Allies during the Great War opened the doors to the development of new technologies. In January 1920 the Michelin Tire Company from Milltown started marketing a novel article for the tire manufacturing company and had demonstrated its virtues by equipping vehicles dur- ing the war: pressed steel disc wheels. The American subsidiary supervised the local implantation fol- lowing the global strategy imposed by the parent company in Clermont-Ferrand and facilitated by an agreement with the American company Budd. The battle between the different types of wheels—artil- lery, wire and steel discs—was in full swing. 1. Spring wheels The wheels that fitted the first motor vehicles were direct adaptations of the two types prevailing in vehicles for human and animal traction. On one hand, there were the successors of large cart wheels with their sturdy wooden spokes and their exterior protected by a metallic circular band. On the other hand, there were those having a simple metallic structure derived from the wheels of tensioned wire spokes, used on bicycles and in light horse-drawn carriages. Both wheel models adopted solid rubber tires as a shock absorbing cover—especially applied in the transport of heavy cargo—, and later evolved towards the use of pneumatic tires with inner tubes (figs.52-53 ).
