Thanks again for all that worked at Pate in the not so desirable weather. We accomplished our goal. Pate is our money maker and club existence. Come Christmas and you will enjoy your reward of all the hard work. May 13th was a wonderful day for a nice drive and to show our cars at the Woods Waves, and Wheels boat, car, and bike show, at Eagle Mountain Lake. If you missed it, you missed a great show of cars under the shade, the boats in the water and the cycles showing off also. The weather was very enjoyable and the camaraderie was a special addition to the day. We all Doug Ashby and Kathleen Farland Jeff Palmer’s ‘39 LaSalle back- enjoyed it very much. Rubye, Virginia, and Harriett ground Let us remind you all to come out to the scheduled activities and enjoy the cars and members, and friends. We also want to remind you to detach your voter card from the Self Starter and vote for the museum board. And if you are planning on attending the Grand National in McLean, Va. the first part of August, you need to send the registration form in also. We still need you all to write a story about your car ,the chrome fins, bumper to share with our members. See you on the road at the next meet.

See you & meet you on the road, Rubye Page 4 May 2017 Where the Rubber Meets the Road Reprinted and adapted from Elden, “Shared trivia for friends of the collector car hobby” Submitted by Rubye Musser Tire history begins with automotive history. I. Karl Benz (November 25, 1844–April 4, 1929) invented the gasoline-powered car, but the precise date of this invention requires a patchwork of research. Benz demonstrated a one-cylinder two-stroke engine on New Year’s Eve 1879. Commercial success with this engine enabled him to create a lightweight car. In 1885, The “Benz Patent Motorcar” became the first. Registered in Berlin with the German Imperial Patent Office, January 29, 1886, the patent number is DRP 37435. Some writers refer to this patent office document as the “automobile’s birth certificate.” Benz brought his car to the German market in June 1886 as the Benz Motorwagen (below right). A two seater, this car had a single-cylinder four-stroke engine, a tubular steel frame, a differential, and three wire- spoke wheels. The engine output rating was 0.75 horsepow- er. A further look at details reveals an automatic intake slide, a controlled exhaust valve, an electric vibrator ignition with spark plug, and water evaporation cooling. This car rode on metal wheels covered with rubber and filled with air. https://www.daimler.com/company/tradition/ Pneumatic tires made their debut almost ten years ahead of their general acceptance. The 1888 Benz gasoline pow- ered car had rubber pneumatic tires. In1895, a race from Paris to Bordeaux increased popular usage of these tires. http://www.hankooktire.com/global/tires-services/tire-guide/history-of-tires.html Continued on page 6. Page 5 May 2017 II. Robert William Thomson (1822–1873) invented the pneumatic tire. He patented it in 1845. The invention worked well, but it failed to attract consumer attention because it was too expensive. John Boyd Dunlop (1840–1921), a Scottish veterinarian receives credit for the first practical pneumatic tire. Dunlop tested and patented his pneumatic tire in Great Britain in 1888. He secured an American patent in 1890. This tire had an interesting origin. Dunlop began by cutting up a garden hose, shaping it into a tube, in- flating it, and attaching it to his son’s tricycle! Other significant events in tire development include the following https://www.thoughtco.com/john-dunlop-charles-goodyear-tires- John Boyd Dunlop 1991641 • In 1895, André Michelin with his brother Edouard installed pneumatic tires on an automobile. • Philip Strauss invented the combination tire and inner tube in 1911. His company, Hardman Tire & Rub- ber marketed them. • In 1903, P. W. Litchfield of the Goodyear Tire Company patented the first tubeless tire. e first new-car application came with the 1954 Packard. • Mountable rims, introduced in 1904, enabled drivers to repair flats. • In 1908, Frank Seiberling invented tread tires to improve traction. • B.F. Goodrich Company invented longer life tires by adding carbon to the rubber. When this happened in 1910, tires no longer had the white col- or of natural rubber. Model T with white tires • In 1937, Goodrich invented the synthetic rubber tire fabricated of a sub- (Greenfield Village) stance called Chemigum. DuPont, in 1931, introduced synthetic rubber to American industries. Synthetic rubber changed the face of the auto tire in- dustry. Its ancestor, vulcanized natural rubber, made Charles Goodyear a manufacturing giant. https://connecticuthistory.org/charles-goodyear-and-thevulcanization-of- rubber/ III. A look at natural rubber history and a glance at its chemistry are necessary and important. This link offers more detailed information. http://www.hygenic.com/news/the-differences-between-latex-and- naturalrubber.html Here are a few dates of interest. • Joseph Priestley discovered (c.1770) rubber’s use as an eraser— 1926 advertisement thus the name. • In 1823, Charles Macintosh found a practical process for waterproofing fabrics. • Charles Goodyear (1800–1860) discovered vulcanization in 1839, which revolutionized the rubber industry. Continued on page 7. Page 6 May 2017 Rainforest dwellers in South America had used natural rubber for generations, but an accident gave it a new identity. In 1839, Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped rub- ber and sulfur on a hot stove. e mixture charred but remained pliable. He named his infant “kitchen chemistry” process vulcanization in honor of the Greek god of fire, Vul- can.

  • Surface Protection of Mg Alloys in Automotive Applications: a Review
    AIMS Materials Science, 6(4): 567–600. DOI: 10.3934/matersci.2019.4.567 Received: 15 February 2019 Accepted: 04 May 2019 Published: 04 July 2019 http://www.aimspress.com/journal/Materials Review Surface protection of Mg alloys in automotive applications: A review Jie Wang1, Xin Pang2 and Hamid Jahed1,* 1 Department of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada N2L 3G1 2 CanmetMATERIALS, Natural Resources Canada, Hamilton, ON, Canada L8P 0A5 * Correspondence: Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Mg alloys find widespread applications in transportation industries especially in cars and trucks because of their edges in light-weight design, which can greatly help improve the fuel efficiency and decrease the gas emissions of vehicles; However, Mg alloys’ high sensitivity to the corrosive environments limit their penetration in automotive applications. Surface coating is one of the most effective and economic ways to protect Mg alloys from corrosion. Presently, the currently researched and commercial coatings that are specifically applied to Mg alloys in the automotive industry are reviewed in this paper. With some Mg automotive components subjected to corrosion and repeated load simultaneously, corrosion fatigue of coated Mg alloys are reviewed as well. Additionally, a part of attention in this review is given to the assessment approaches of corrosion and corrosion fatigue performance of coated Mg alloys for the purpose of material/surface coating system selection. Finally, some corrosion-related

Tech Preview of the 2005 Domestics BY PAUL WEISSLER Chrysler 300 After a multiyear infatuation with SUVs, the domestic automakers have ‘rediscovered’ the automobile. Our annual report covers several all-new models that have resulted from this new marketing direction. ord is calling 2005 the Year of the Car, and is introduc- ing brand-new cars and carlike “crossover” vehicles. But Fit’s not alone, as General Motors and the Chrysler Group also are focusing on the passenger car for 2005. At Ford, the new Mustang gets the most head-turning looks, of course, but the new Ford 500 and Mercury Montego sedans, and the Freestyle “almost SUV,” are a higher volume group. At Chrysler, the in-your-face 300 and Dodge Magnum wagon are getting plenty of attention. And GM has several significant new Dodge Magnum cars—the compact Chevrolet Cobalt (which replaces the Cava- lier), Pontiac G6 (replacing the Grand Am), Buick LaCrosse (replacing the Regal and Century), Cadillac STS (replacing the Seville) and the Corvette, which is irreplaceable. Let’s delve further into it and see what the three domestic camps are offering for 2005. Ford The Ford 500 and its sister Mercury Montego clearly are cars, but what’s the Freestyle? The North American Car of the Year jury placed it in the truck/SUV category (it has suspension modifications to increase ride height and a wagon-type body with three-row seating), but it’s technically very close to the 500.
