He reminded everyone who volunteered for the Grand National that there is a Recognition Luncheon being held on Saturday, December 9th. RSVPs must be made by December 1. (See below.) Also, the Region is supporting Capitol Cadillac in their Annual Coat Drive for Shepherd’s Table, a local non-profit organization that supports the homeless and working poor. We ask members to consider donating a coat to this worthy cause. SECRETARY’S REPORT: The Minutes from the October 2017 meeting were not read since they were published and distributed to all members in the November 2017 newsletter. TREASURER’S REPORT: The Treasurer’s Report covered the time period from the October meeting to date. The Region’s income was $2,077.57, mostly from membership renewals. The total expenses for the same time period were $1,537.79 which included the recent donations and the cost of the refreshments at the Cars & Coffee. Efforts are continuing to be made to sell GN merchandise at various venues. MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Our 2017 membership list of 193 members was submitted to the CLC National Office on November 1 as requested. The National Office reviewed our list and notified us that six PR member’s national membership had expired (pre-requisite to continue their PR membership). We have contacted those six members to notify them that they can’t renew their local membership until they renew nationally. The 2018 membership renewal forms were U.S. mailed the first week of October to all active members. We have received 151 renewals to date with some members renewing for two years. We ask that the 42 members who received a renewal form in the U.S. mail and plan to renew but haven’t submitted their renewal form yet to please do so by December 1st. ACTIVITIES REPORT: The following activities were discussed: 1. Recent Events: • Cars and Coffee at Capitol Cadillac, Sat, Oct 28. This was an event to keep our annual tradition of having our cars on display at Capitol Cadillac. We had nineteen (19) cars participate and numerous members, friends and family. Coffee and doughnuts were provided by the Region. There were no trophies, nor awards; just coffee, cars, and car talk at Capitol Cadillac. Everyone thought that it was a successful event. Visit us on the web! 4 www.clcpotomacregion.org Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle December 2017 2. Upcoming PR Events: • 2017 Grand National Volunteer Recognition Luncheon, Liberatore's Ristorante, Perry Hall, MD, Sat, Dec 9th, 2:00-4:00 pm. RSVPs must be made by December 1st to Vince Taliano. • Holiday Party, Springfield Country Club, Springfield, VA, Sun, Jan 21st, 12:00- 4:00 pm. The event is FREE to attendees; however, RSVPs are required. The flyer was distributed to PR members and will be included in the December newsletter. • 2018 DC Auto Show, Thu-Sun, Jan 26-Feb 4. We do not yet know if we will be participating in the 2018 show and if so, what booth staffing by members will be needed. If we will participate, Franklin Gage has agreed to coordinate our efforts. We expect to know about our possible participation very soon. • 2018 Events at Capitol Cadillac: Dan Ruby provided the plans for next year based upon his discussion with Daniel Jobe. First, instead of two judged shows, there will be one judged show with an automobilia auction in the spring on Sunday, May 6, 2018. Then we will hold a Cars & Coffee event in the fall on Saturday, October 27, 2018. There will be a few other changes also. We will reduce the number of judging classes by at least two and we will eliminate the “Best Pre-War” award since the participation of early cars has diminished considerably in recent years. The Region will assume a larger share of the award expenses than it has previously, and it will donate its share of the 50/50 raffle to a charitable organization like Shepherd’s Table. 3. Other Upcoming Events: • 28th Annual East Coast Indoor Nationals, Maryland State Fairgrounds, Timonium, MD, Fri-Sat, Dec 2-3. Most of the cars are street rods & customs, but there are original & antique cars in the show also. Show cars are by invitation only. • Auto Mania, Allentown Fairgrounds, Allentown, PA, Fri-Sun, Jan 19-21. Billed as “PA's biggest indoor heated swap meet” produced with support from Carlisle Events. Harry Scott attended this meet a couple years ago. “There weren’t any old Cadillac parts, but it was okay if you wanted to rebuild a small-block Chevy.” • AACA Annual Meeting, Philadelphia, PA, Thu-Sat, Feb 8-10. To view more events, visit http://www.clcpotomacregion.org/eventslisting.htm OLD BUSINESS: 1. The GN finances should be completed by the end of the year. After that, if there are any proceeds from the GN, the officers will discuss and vote upon any proposals to use the funds. One such proposal is to make a donation to the CLCMRC, following what other regions have done after hosting a Grand National.

  • Integrated Semi-Convertible Sunroof System in Glass- Reinforced Sma/Abs Resin
    INTEGRATED SEMI-CONVERTIBLE SUNROOF SYSTEM IN GLASS- REINFORCED SMA/ABS RESIN Marcie Kurcz, Henri-Paul Benichou Polyscope Polymers B.V., The Netherlands Abstract This paper presents follow-up on work reported in 2011 in automotive sunroof materials [1]. The focus is on the first very-large thermoplastic sunroof module for a serial (production) cabrio (semi-convertible) vehicle. Industrial partners combined their efforts to reduce weight and optimize systems cost. The large innovative tool that was developed molds both sunroof and rear window frames at one time. The part uses glass-reinforced styrene maleic anhydride / acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (SMA/ABS-GR) resin and meets all the OEM's requirements for precise dimensions, weathering resistance, good aesthetics, and adhesion to other substructures. This paper will detail the development process, tooling considerations, and benefits vs. other materials (e.g. metals and thermoset polymers). Background and Requirements Cabrio coach (also called cabriolet, semi-convertible, or sliding ragtop) cars feature a retractable cloth roof. Advantages to automakers of such models include the fact that no redesign of the body is necessary to add the semi-convertible feature. A number of vehicles have featured this style of roof over the years, several of which are shown in Figures 1a-1b below. Figures 1a-1b. Cabrio semi-convertible or sliding ragtop models feature a retractable cloth roof. This type of model is beneficial to OEMs because it requires no redesign of the body, since pillars and roof bows remain intact. For such top-loaded systems, the sunroof frame is a critical component. The new Citroën DS3 Cabrio from PSA Peugeot Citroën features a large sunroof frame molded in SMA/ABS- GF.

  • 1 Tire and Rim Fundamentals
    1 Tire and Rim Fundamentals We introduce and review some topics about tires, wheels, roads, vehicles, and their interactions. These subjects are needed to understand vehicle dynamics better. 1.1 Tires and Sidewall Information Pneumatic tires are the only means to transfer forces between the road and the vehicle. Tires are required to produce the forces necessary to control the vehicle, and hence, they are an important component of a vehicle. Figure 1.1 illustrates a cross section view of a tire on a rim to show the dimension parameters that are used to standard tires.

  • Not Just for Transport
    Not Just for Transport Light cars for fun and fresh air motoring in the last quarter century. The average car of today, can be described as an enclosed metal box with windows all round, With a temperature controlled interior, comfortable to drive in what ever the weather. This has not been universally desired and a need for a light car to provide an alternative to the hatchback has been recognised by some manufacturers. This article is about the alternatives to the normal car throughout that time. Writing this article in 2018, twenty five years back is the year 1993. In the period since 1993 I have identified quite a number of models that can be put in the a list of cars that meet the description of For Fun, or provide fresh air motoring. Motoring Journalists in the early 1990’s were suggesting that the convertible car was a thing of the past and would be no more. In the new millennium open air motoring showed signs of revival. The obvious candidates the light sport cars are few in number, the majority are various versions of regular hatchbacks, with a few unique models. I have listed them in annual order with a few details and a picture gleaned from Wikipedia. Mazda MX5 Miata.. The Miata was first produced in Japan in 1989 and this version would be produced until 1997, by which time 433,649 had been produced. A classic front engined, rear wheel drive sports car in soft top convertible or hard top form. engine. Opel Tigra A. First produced in Spain in1994 until 2001, a front wheel drive.

  • What Is Our Real Potential? - We May Miss the True Value Within
    What Is Our Real Potential? - We May Miss the True Value Within Randall Lay Tin January 10, 2018 Some look at the snapshot of our life at the moment and say that this is reality. "Good and evil have been there as long as humankind can remember" and never explore the possibilities of what we are capable of. A family in France (see article below) knew their eccentric grandpa had a heap of rusted out cars in a shed. They didn't see the value of that junk. They should have looked at the makes and models and worked out they were designed for more than just growing moss and cobwebs. For me, when I first saw Christology in the DP, that was a wakeup call to what humans ought to be like. When we only see a broken machine, and never the elegance cruising down the highway, we may miss the true value within. Now where did I park my 60 cars?
