The Tradsheet The Tradsheet Founded 1967 AGM info edition for 13th February 2019 The Burghwallis At 8pm. Now that’s a project idea Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster February/March 2019 1 Editorial Hello all, The main next event is the AGM. On pages 5 to 10, there are the agenda, minutes of last year’s meeting and motions presented so far. It is important that members come together to decide the pol- icies and direction of the club so, if you have any ideas or issues, it is the ideal place to have a discus- sion and vote on them. You can ask any questions under the general discussion item but, if you think that the question might need some information to be looked up first, please let a committee member know in advance otherwise the reply may have to be that we will look it up and the issue will be de- layed until we have which is not ideal. To attend the AGM, you will need to renew your membership. You will have all had forms with the last Tradsheet but you can get another at club night or from the club website. I didn’t get a form be- cause I put them in the envelopes to be collected at club night or posted and, of course, I don’t do my- self an envelope. It gets worse, it took me a while to work out why I hadn’t got one, well I was still a bit ill. Membership starts from the 1st January as agreed at the last AGM and we don’t want to lose any of you, so get on with filling them in! The AGM is also where we agree the committee for the coming year. If you would like to put your name forward please do. We meet between 4 and 6 times a year to look at planning, club resources, shows and whatever else is needed to keep the club running well and properly. It mainly consists of discussing items that members have raised and the usual general issues and, while we have varying ideas, it is all about the club so we discuss rather than argue. The nomination form is on page 5 with the agenda. We would also like some ideas from members about which shows we should go to this year. Maybe we can go to some as a club rather than going separately and meeting whoever is there. Hopefully a member would be the lead contact for one show and someone else do the same for another. We will discuss it and see where we get. If you can’t get to the AGM, send your ideas via email to me or the Chairperson and we will make sure they are included. Herald update– still running well, out in all weathers. The Christmas lights, which on one level, are stu- pid but, on another, a lot of fun have been packed away in good time. I really need to put the letters back on the boot, the rain gets in the holes. The van suffered another incontinent moment with a heater pipe rusting through and leaking. I decid- ed that it was cold, I still had that cold/flu bug so into the garage it went. The heater radiator outlets broke as well as soon as they moved them so that also needed replacing and I discovered the true cost of not doing the job myself. The job was done well and the time charged seemed very fair to me and the hourly rate is not excessive either. It just a lot of pounds that I usually don’t spend. Toolbox coming out again next time. Safe motoring Andy Campbell 3 The Wolseley 4/44 The Wolseley 4/44 was intro- duced by the British Motor Corpo- ration in 1952 and manufactured from 1953 to 1956. It was de- signed under the Nuffield Organi- sation but, by the time it was re- leased, Wolseley was part of BMC. Much of the design was shared with the MG Magnette ZA which was released later in the same year. Unlike the MG, the 4/44 used the 1,250 cc XPAW engine, a version of the XPAG engine previously seen in the later MG T-type series of cars but detuned by only having a single carburettor. The power output was 46 bhp at 4800 rpm. The four speed manual transmission had a column change. The construction was monocoque with independent suspension at the front by coil springs and a live rear axle. The car had upmarket trim with a wooden dashboard and leather seats and a traditional Wolseley radiator grille with illuminated badge but was expensive at £997 on the home market. An example tested by The Motor magazine had a top speed of 73 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 29.9 seconds. A fuel consumption of 27.6 miles per imperial gallon was rec- orded. The 4/44 was replaced in 1956 by the similar Wolseley 15/50. The Wolseley 15/50 was an updated version of the Wolseley 4/44. The main change was the engine; the 4/44 used a pre BMC Morris XPA unit and, after the MG TF stopped production, it was the only car still fitted with it. To rationalise production the 15/50 was launched with the BMC B-series engine fitted. Unlike the MG, the 15/50 engine had only a single SU carburet- tor so the power output was slightly less at 55 bhp at 4400 rpm. An example with Manumatic transmission tested by the The Motor magazine in 1957 had a top speed of 77.9 mph and could accelerate from 0- 60 mph in 26.7 seconds. A fuel consumption of 28.7 miles per imperial gallon was recorded. Unlike the 4/44, the 15/50 had a floor gear change. From 1956 a "Manumatic" two pedal (centrifugal clutch) transmission was an option. This was controlled by a micro switch hidden in the gear lever operating a vacuum servo. Having no synchromesh on bottom gear could make changes into the lowest ratio, which would nor- mally require double declutching, difficult. 4 51st Annual General Meeting of the Traditional Car Club Wednesday 13th February 2019 at 8pm at The Burghwallis, Scorcher Hills Lane, Burghwallis, Doncaster DN6 9JT Agenda 1) Meeting opened by Chairperson 2) Apologies for absence 3) Approval of the minutes of the 2018 AGM 4) Matters Arising 5) Chairperson’s Report 6) Treasurer’s report 7) The 2018 Club Committee stand down 8) Nominations for 2019 Club committee announced 9) Election of 2019 Club committee and ex-officio committee members 10) Motions- consideration of any motions proposed (note page 10) 11) Any other business 12) Presentation of awards Diane Trophy– (for the most active gentleman) Wilsic Shield-(for the most active Lady) Excelsis award-(for the owner of the vehicle which scores most points during the year at club events and meetings) 13) Open discussion forum 14) Date and time of next AGM …………………………………………………………………………………………….

Apologies Apologies were received from: Stuart Carey, Ken Sleight, Brian and Ivy Close, Mick and Janet Helme, Christine Jewison, Mark Wells, Les and May Bryan, Mark Elliott, Jim Konstandelos, Neil & Marie Ham- mans, Maurice Hunt, John Overton. Nominations and Proposals – none received. The Vice Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the 50th AGM what has been a very hectic year for the club. Approval of the Minutes of Previous meeting The minutes of the 49th AGM were approved and accepted as a true record. Proposed by Barry Wil- kinson, seconded by Alan Kirkham. Matters Arising The Chairman briefly ran through the minutes of the last meeting. There were no matter arising. Consideration of 2015 Rule changes The Vice Chairman and Andy Campbell explained the reasons for the proposed Rule changes which were sent out in the last Tradsheet. These went back to 2015 where there were contradictions be- tween different versions and formats of the Club Rules. Each proposal was voted upon unanimously by the members present. Some debate took place regarding the Term of Chairman and it was agreed that the word Chairperson would be used for the purpose of the Rules but it would be up to the individual taking up the post on how they would wish to refer to themselves. It was clarified that the January to December membership change will begin at the end of this year. A new rule book will be printed and issued out to all members and future new members. 6 Chairman’s Report As The Chairman would not be present at tonights AGM, he had produced his report in the last edi- tion of the Tradsheet and presented it at the last club meeting on the 31st January, it was not pro- posed to read this out again. The Vice Chairman gave thanks to all the members especially those listed below who have assisted over what he felt has been the most successful of all the years he has been in the club.

  • Motoring Rothschilds: Style, Speed and Sport
    Motoring Rothschilds: Style, speed and sport Highlighting some of the unexpected resources in the Archive’s collections, Justin Cavernelis-Frost looks back to the golden age of the automobile and the enduring passion of some members of the Rothschild family for elegant and fast cars. Cars have always exerted a strong, seductive power. The skills of the draughtsman, the coach- builder and the engineer have together created objects of beauty, desire and status. Throughout the twentieth century, members of the Rothschild family came under the spell of the automobile. In the early days of automotive history, Rothschilds undertook feats of endurance which influenced developments in car engineering and design. As active participants in the field of motor racing, they succumbed to the thrill and adventure of the race-track. As collectors, the Rothschilds demonstrated the same passion for excellence and craftsmanship in their auto- mobiles as they did in their collections of art and objets d’art. In England, Lionel de Rothschild (1882‒1942), eldest son of Leopold de Rothschild (1845‒1917), is well-known for his horticultural and photographic interests, but he was also an early pioneer of motoring.¹ Lionel was a founding member of the Royal Automobile Club and he and his brother Anthony were early members of the Cambridge University Automobile Club, which had been founded in 1902.² The Club organised runs, competitive hill climbs and inter-varsity races, for which there was a Rothschild Challenge Cup. Before the First World War Lionel and his chauffeur (and often as not mechanic, navigator and all-round help) Martin Harper, drove Mercedes, Napiers, Wolseleys and Siddeleys across France, Italy, Spain, Germany and North Africa.

  • 4. Cargo Airline, Cargo Sampling, Cargo Scanning and Delivery
    4. Cargo airline, Cargo sampling, Cargo scanning and delivery. 4.1 Cargo airlines (or airfreight carriers, and derivatives of these names) are airlines dedicated to the transport of cargo. Some cargo airlines are divisions or subsidiaries of larger passenger airlines. 4.1.1 Logistics Air transport is a vital component of many international logistics networks, essential to managing and controlling the flow of goods, energy, information and other resources like products, services, and people, from the source of production to the marketplace. It is difficult or nearly impossible to accomplish any international trading, global export/import processes, international repositioning of raw materials/products and manufacturing without a professional logistical support. It involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging. The operating responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw materials, work in process, and finished inventories where required at the lowest cost possible. 4.1.2 Aircraft used Larger cargo airlines tend to use new or recently built aircraft to carry their freight, but many use older aircraft, like the Boeing 707, Boeing 727, Douglas DC-8, DC- 10, MD-11, Boeing 747, and the Ilyushin Il-76. Examples of the 60-year-old Douglas DC-3 are still flying around the world carrying cargo (as well as passengers). Short range turboprop airliners such as the An-12, An-26, Fokker Friendship, and British Aerospace ATP are now being modified to accept standard air freight pallets to extend their working lives. This normally involves the replacement of glazed windows with opaque panels, the strengthening of the cabin floor and insertion of a broad top-hinged door in one side of the fuselage.
