(Amulree) That young whipper snapper and club member Bill Snelling, 36, riding in a pre' 65 trial at Salisbury in 1983. Bike is Bob Thomas's 1931 Douglas Light 500, so called because it was pared down to a specific weight to qualify for a cheaper road fund licence. Note the rear tyre- so hard that very little air was needed! Page 1 Secretary’s Notes Hi Everyone, You will find, in this edition, next year’s fixture list incorporating the trials list coloured in red. For the road runs the start venue and time is detailed but not the finish venue, as sometimes changes have to be made. Full details can be found on our web site before the run, or give me a call on 878242 before the run when I can give you the finish details. You will also notice that the Club Nights are not necessarily on the second Thursday of the month, this is to avoid other events. I do ask all members to check your fixture list and keep it safe. A lot of Committee time goes into arranging these dates so as not to clash. The Annual Dinner has been rescheduled to Saturday January 14th, and is to be held at Mount Murray. Tickets priced at £15.00 will be available from Committee members. The ticket price has been heavily subsidised this year in the hope that more of our membership will attend. Our aim is to lift attendance to at least 150 persons this year. The meal will be more “up- market” than hitherto and entertainment has been arranged that should please everyone. More importantly, for the first time in the Section’s history our Guest of Honour will be the Island’s Governor, His Excellency the Lieuten- ant Governor Mr. Adam Wood. In our view it is a great honour to have His Excellency with us to present the awards. Hopefully, this, plus the price, plus the food, plus the entertainment will persuade you all to swamp us with demands for tickets. We need you to support our hard working Chairman and Committee. Your Committee has already started work on the T.T. Rally, the M.G.P. Rally and the VMCC Festival of Jurby. We are also working closely with the Government to bring about more enthusiasts to the Island, particularly for the Manx Grand Prix Festival fortnight. As you may have seen from the Press reports, the numbers attending this years Festival were well up. The VMCC Isle of Man Section can pat itself on the back for playing a major role in that success. Page 2 The Lakeland Rally [Harry’s Run] is being organised once again for depart Friday July 6th return Tuesday July 10th 2012. Every year the Lakeland Section gives us a great welcome. The Hotel that we stay in accommodates us in a very friendly, welcoming manner and the Steam Packet Company offer us a discounted ferry crossing. For friendship, scenery, gentle riding and a good laugh, you will not better this event. Phone Roger Halliwell on 675149 or myself on 878242 for further details. The road runs have been well attended in 2011, but would be even better if more of you supported them. We shall continue to offer free tea and buns etc at the end of each run, for as long as the Section can afford it, and even if you are unable to ride on the run itself you are most welcome to join us at the refreshment stop afterwards. We are also planning for Jan-Feb a film night at the Peel Centenary centre. A full screen, tiered cinema seating show with refreshments, showing archive film from VMCC HQ Library by Castrol, Renold Chain, Shell, Ferodo etc. Featuring Trials, Scrambles and road Racing but, for a change, not from the Isle of Man. Hopefully we can fill the Centre which seats 200 max. A nominal fee will be charged for the evening, and we really need your support to make this a very popular event. Till the next time, happy riding. Tony East Page 3 Chairman’s chat Dear Members, Another year nearly over and we are well into the winter series of club nights at Knock Froy, all our events this year have been as popular as ever, so we must be doing something right. The committee have already started on next years events and have had meetings with various interested parties, more info to follow. The annual dinner and prize giving will be at the Mount Murray hotel and country club on January 14th 2012. I am pleased to tell you that the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man, Adam Wood will be attending, this should be a good night, and all for only £15:00 per head. Your club is subsidising the evening to the tune of 50%, this being achieved through careful budgeting and hard work throughout the year. Reserve you ticket now by contacting me, or any committee member. Tony has secured some period motorcycle films for a show in January, details in this mag or from Tony. It only remains for me to wish you all the Compliments of the Season and happy and safe riding for 2012. If you have any new ideas for runs or events I am always pleased to hear from you. Keep between the hedges. Richard A FILM SHOW WITH A DIFFERENCE Friday January 27th 2012 at Peel Centenary Centre Sponsored by the Vintage Motor Cycle Club Isle of Man Section Two and a half hours of professional films from yesteryear, Featuring Trials, Scrambles,Road Racing and 3 wheel racing. On loan from the VMCC HQ Library. Come and support us, £3 entry fee, with light refreshments available. This is something different, be involved from the start. Tickets available from Tony East 878242 or email tonyeast@ manx.net Page 4 Yellow Belly Notes An Indian Summer or m’mmm Springfield Owners club meetings at the MGP give the onlooker a chance to talk to enthusiasts of their chosen marque. The turn out of Indian motorcycles was fantastic and it was no surprise that the owners were friendly, knowledgeable and keen to discuss all things Indian. The chap in Pic 1 had assembled this racer from authentic parts which he had tracked down from all over North America. He was a top man and to call the bike a replica would be to do it an injustice. It was the nearest thing possible to a 1911 T.T. racer. Indian had a clean sweep in the Senior T.T. that year with O.C.Godfrey, C.B. Franklin and A. Moor- house taking the hon- ours. To celebrate that cen- tenary, owners and en- thusiasts had travelled from Europe and the Pic. 1 U.S.A with their fabu- lous bikes. Pic 2. Made in Springfield U.S.A., the Hendee manufacturing Com- pany produced Indian motorcycles until the Pic 1 mid 1950s. Page 5 Pic 2 Pic 3. Page 6 At the VMCC Jurby Classic Festival this fabulous example of a cherished and used four cylinder, was one of the many on display. Pic 3. It was good to see so many of these bikes in what I call “oily rag” condition. Congratulations to all I.O.M. members for a great day out. Pic 4 Many years ago, I produced a series of illustrations for a now defunct motor cycle magazine and I came across this water-colour of an outfit I had seen on the Pioneer Run. Pic 4. It was not done as a technical illustration, but more an attempt to give an impression of the shades of red in the paintwork. Maybe that’s why it was never published! Pat Sproston, Louth, Lincolnshire Footnote: At the “Milestones of the Mountain” parade at this years T.T, a Canadian built replica of a 1911 580cc Indian racer was due to lead the pack away. Sadly it did not make it to the grid. That bike was for sale at the Bonhams auction at Stafford on the 16th October. It was sold for £18,4000. Page 7 Resuscitating the Donkey The prospect of recreating my 1968 Daytona Production Race winner for the Millennium Lap of Honour seemed easy enough at the time...... From an abandoned project, the motor came in three boxes of bits and pieces, many covered in thick oily ‘gunge’ and the aluminium parts were positively growing a grey coat that pitted the alloy; an interesting jigsaw. The ‘donkey’, seemed to have had something of a chequered history having started life in 1972 as an export model to the US of A. The 'chequered bit' was the fact that it spent some time underwater and it had probably seized.

WHITWOHTH SCHOLAR ASSOCIATE ME.MUER OF THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS MITGLIED PES VEREINS DEUTSCHER INGENIEURE INSTRUCTOR IN ENGINEERING DESIGN AT THE CENTRAL TECHNICAL COLLEGE SOUTH KENSINGTON WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS LONGMANS, GREEN, A N D C O. LONDON, NEW YORK, AND BOMBAY 1896 All rights renerved ENGIN. LIBRARY 72. J PREFACE r A BICYCLE or a tricycle is a more or less complex machine, ^ and for a thorough appreciation of the stresses and strains to which it is subjected in ordinary use, and for its efficient * design, an extensive knowledge of the mechanical sciences is necessary. Though an extensive literature on nearly all other types of machines exists, there is, strange to say, very little on the subject of cycle design ; periodical cycling literature being almost entirely confined to racing and personal matters. In the present work an attempt is made to give a rational account of the stresses and strains to which the various parts of a cycle are sub- 4 jeeted ; only a knowledge of the most elementary portions 5 of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry being assumed, while graphical methods of demonstration are used as far as possible. It is hoped that the work will be of use to cycle riders who take an intelligent interest in their 1 machines, and also to those engaged in their manufacture.

First it’s relaxed then it’s on again. Lockdowns, ring-fencing, movement restrictions, it’s all a little confusing. The festive season ain’t very festive at the moment. Roll on the vaccine. Sorry fellers, no more Bayview or Pie in the Sky rides. This, apart from imbibing and eating some Xmas goodies, is the ideal time for …The Shed. Internet parts purchasing (taking months to arrive!), hours of fun wrestling with an unyielding rusted bolt, bits that don’t fit, what could be better? Club meetings have been postponed until the restrictions ease, but we still have email and WhatsApp. Membership renewals for next year went out late October, and many have already renewed. Remember, if you have conditional plates through the Club, you must be a financial Member and the 2020 membership finishes 31 December. There are still some members who haven’t renewed for 2020, but if you want to be reinstated for 2021, that’s fine. And my best Xmas present was from my son-in-law, who found this cast-iron plaque somewhere. It’s about 40cm long and is now mounted in the Ed Shed. And a Safe and Happy Xmas to all Members. 2 The Motorcycle Design, Art, Desire 28 Nov 2020 – 26 Apr 2021 GQueensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane Gallery 1.1 The Fairfax Gallery, Gallery 1.2, Gallery 1.3 Eric & Marion Taylor Gallery Ticketed Discover a whole new perspective of The Motorcycle.

  • Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2016 11
    A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 31. No 11. November 2016 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: Motorcycling is a pastime full of variation. Since the inception of a motorised two wheeler, anyone wanting to be part of a world in which you aren’t cossetted in a cocoon of steel and glass opted for the open road on a motorcycle. This gave rise to various interesting characters that frequent the annals of motorcycle history. From the Tourer, to the Sportster, Stunt rider and more recently the Adventure rider (read Martin Davis) our brothers and sisters take to the roads, tracks and countryside on all forms of two or three wheeled moped. Our own society and movement has a very specific bond with motorcycling and the older, the better. However as we age, we need to inject newer blood into our movement to keep it going. This predicament isn’t unique to VMC as all hobbies and pastimes are struggling to keep their “induction ports” above water these days. It is essential to bring younger enthusiasts to our gatherings, both to introduce new blood and get the generation who inherited their parent’s motorcycles to bring them into the fold. Your ideas on how we can do this will be most welcome; also getting together from a social perspective and riding more as a club can make our movement more visible. In this regard, the committee will plan regular club rides, over and above the main Regularity and Commemorative events, while encouraging all members to get out there and “exercise the steeds”.

    CHARM 2017 Proceedings 233 Extended Abstracts How to sell Nuclear How to sell Nuclear Energy to the public in Energy to the public in the 1950s the 1950s Maria Elena Aramendia-Muneta 234 Department of Economics, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain Joseba De la Torre Department of Economics Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain Maria del Mar Rubio-Varas Department of Economics, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain The purpose of this paper is to identify the marketing measures that both Spanish Leaders and foreign lobbies took in the 50s to spread the idea that there was a need for nuclear energy. At the end of the 40s, Spain was struggling to recover from a dark and complicated period where the Spanish were living under hard conditions (food rationing, military dictatorship and international isolation, among others). Under those circumstances, Spain was looking for a solution for its energy shortage. Spain was under the tremendous influence of the government of the United States of America, as it was its main and almost only ally in the beginning of the 50s. Therefore, the media was a market mirror and created an image of demand and wish of the Spanish public undercover by the military regime, as well as creating new stories and a new approach to the public in order to advocate public relations (Ewen and Ewen, 1992; Hovland and Wilcox, 1989; Jackall and Hirota, 2000; Kennedy, 2005). By the mid1950s, over 30 per cent of the population had no formal education (just 45 per cent of the Spanish population had completed primary education).
