Simply organoleptic! Southern members meet at the Hub area carpark in Willunga at 9.30 for 10am start Organised by Bob and Elaine Sellar June No organised run for this month Sunday 14 th July A BBQ style run being organised by Neil Francis. Watch this space! From the Chairman I have to start this report by saying what a wonderful job the Rally Committee did last weekend. Neil, David (and Dianne taking care of the bookwork) put in a monumental effort to organise a truly memorable weekend. The location was superb, the runs were just the perfect length, and the weather made a special effort to stay fine. Combine this with great company and good food and there really is nothing more to ask for. Unless it’s a school full of excited kids and a fabulous (under-rated) museum to visit. Yes, the weekend had everything. A big thank you to those responsible. Also a thank you to all the interstate visitors – from Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. I’m sure you will have read in last month’s Bulletin that our Club Secretary will not be standing for re- election in July. David has filled this most important position on the Committee for the last 2 years, and with a full-time job and two teenage children has found there is just not enough time left in the day to carry out his Club duties to the high standard he has set himself. As I did last month, I ask all Club members to give this some consideration, and I’m sure our future Club Secretary can depend on assistance from David (and indeed any Committee Members) to help to settle into the job. Thank you, David, on behalf of the Club and the Committee, for an absolutely outstanding contribution. The good news is that David reckons he will have enough free time to stay on the Rally Committee for 2014. I guess that means we can all look forward to another fabulous Weekend Rally next year. After last weekend, I can’t wait. Finally, I would like to give a warm welcome to our newest member, David Schumacher. We hope to see him soon on our runs in his veteran Dodge. Also, Don Tamblyn, who came to our Barossa Rally, has shown interest in joining our ranks, and has been sent an invitation. I’m sure many of you will, like me, recognise both him and his delightful blue AX Renault from more years ago that I care to recall. Happy Veteran Motoring, Howard Bulletin May 2013 Page 2 From the Secretary Bay to Birdwood. We have had a reply back to our letter to the Bay to Birdwood Committee re the future of the run. We were thanked for our thoughts and many of our ideas have been thought of by other sources too. One point of interest was the acknowledgment that the freeway is not compatible for the older vehicles. AVCCA Much has transpired on this front, so much so I have put together an overview of what has happened, the response received from the AVCCA and where we hope to go to in the future. Please see the full report in our “Bulletin”. 2013 Week End Rally It was great to have the RAA on board as the sponsor of the rally. I must say they were very easy to deal with and supplied us with some great goodies such as the highly prized 2013 Accommodation Guide. Many thanks to Jenny Blake and the RAA for their support. The VCCSA has sent a thank you letter. As a side note, I missed out on Jayco Caravans, the timing was just too short. They welcomed the idea of sponsoring a rally full of “grey nomads”. If anybody has any ideas on sponsorship of our rallies please feel free to chat to either Neil or myself. Upcoming Rallies 2013 is very busy on the national front for rallies. We have the Highwheeler Rally at Bundaberg in June, the National Veteran Rally at Shepparton in September, and a week later the National Veteran motorcycle Rally in Parkes. A lot of hard work goes into organising these rallies and they will only survive with entries. So if you can make it to one of these rallies, please enter and support the national movement. Kind Regards, David Chantrell ANZAC Day over Adelaide Bulletin May 2013 Page 3 Three cylinder veterans Seeing a 3 cylinder Vauxhall motor in the workshop, various visitors are moved to comment on the rarity of such things, and these days they are. However, in the early part of last Century maybe they weren’t so scarce. When more power was needed, more cylinders were added, a process which has continued for 100 years. Two cylinder motors were built with either 180 or 360 degree crankshafts, meaning that in the first case uneven firing occurred, or in the second, significant balance weight was needed. Enter the three cylinder in-line motor, with crankpins set at 120 degrees. Smooth running and even firing, with constant power pulses, while not overlapping, at least produce a more consistent torque than a single or 180 twin can produce. The 360 twin is at least regular, but with a pause between pulses, still causing chains to snatch. Anzani and others produced 3 cylinder fan configured air cooled motors, and I can’t get my head around what the power impulse diagram might look like for those. I have seen and heard a 4 cylinder fan motor in a replica Torpedo motorcycle, and that sounds quite regular. Examples I have found will show that the 3 cylinder idea caught on quickly on both sides of the Atlantic, and, curiously in about 1907, was dropped just as quickly. BROOKE (UK, 1902- 1905) A broad based engineering works, which built marine engines from foundry to installation. In 1902 they produced a 10hp 3 cylinder car with east-west engine. By 1904 the engine was a longitudinal 14hp, which was replaced a year later with a four. DUREYA (USA, 1902-1907) The company commenced in 1895, following the Duryea brothers’ fitting a motor to a horse drawn buggy in 1892-3, arguably America’s first. Their cars had transverse horizontal 3 cylinder motors, which grew from 12 to 25hp at the end of the run. Duryea were also made under licence by Sir Henry Sturmey in Coventry, two of which ran in the 1896 London to Brighton emancipation run. PANHARD LEVASSOR (France, 1904-1908) Originally a woodworking machinery factory, P&L was a pioneer in France, first using Daimler V twin engines (Daimler’s widow married Levassor, perhaps explaining the connection). The Hon. C.S.Rolls surrendered the UK agency for P&L in 1904 because of flagging sales, the same year that they introduced a 3 cylinder 8/11hp, 1.8 litre motor. The model was still listed in 1907, and was used mainly as a taxicab in Paris, though a marine version was produced. ROLLS ROYCE (UK,1904-1905) In surrendering the Panhard agency, Rols engaged Royce, an engineering company proprietor, to make an English car, which first was a twin in 1904, followed by a 3 litre 3 cylinder in 1905, very likely influenced by what Panhard had done. Only 6 of the 3 cylinder cars were built. MAUDSLAY (UK, 1902-1906) Another marine engine manufacturer, Maudslay’s first car in 1902 was a 3 cylinder 20hp with overhead cam, a Maudslay feature. The model continued until 1906 in parallel with a four and a short-lived 6, which was simply two 3 cylinder blocks on a common crankcase.

The site is bounded to the east by Kings Road, to the north by Kennet Street and offices, to the west by offices and the south by Queens Road. The majority of the site area currently consists of terraced buildings, occupied by residential and small business users (Fig. 11). The buildings front Queens Road. Rear (northern) access is gained from Kennet Street. The northern portion of the site is occupied by parking space. Adjacent to this, in the eastern portion of the site, is a car washing business, which fronts Kennet Street. The far eastern portion of the site is open grassed space. The site slopes quite markedly from south down to north, with the Queens Road frontage substantially higher than the Kennet Road The development area is at an average height of c.
