It wasn’t until ten years later in Boston, Massachusetts when the first improvements on the Panhard design were implemented. The Sturtevant brothers equipped their auto- mobile with a two-forward-speed gearbox with two automatic friction clutches. The stress of changing gear ratios and the lack of technological advances in metallurgy left their offering prone to failures, and the car was never put into production to the masses. It did, however, plant the idea collectively into the minds currently working on auto- mobile manufacturing at the time that with perfection of the flawed areas, these obsta- cles could be overcome. With this in mind, it became clear that the limitations of two forward speed gear ratios must give way to a transmission that would allow varying be- tween maximum to deliver the most availa- ble acceleration, to the minimum so that the engine would not overload under normal driving conditions. This would inevitably be known as the infinitely variable gear trans- mission. Early versions of these included friction -disc drives, which were used successfully A Panhard-Levassor 1890-1895 on many early automobiles, but were There have been many obstacles to ly manual gearboxes were like everything plagued with the trouble of flat spots on the overcome with engineering since the advent else on those vehicles: primitive.

As 2015 comes to a close, I hope everyone has had a good and productive year; I’m hoping that all the tours you attended went well. Here at the Automotive Research Library of the HCFI, we have continued to pro- cess donations of books, literature, and automotive memorabilia. This seems like a never ending task; just when you seem to have a handle on everything, we get another donation to inventory and process. We are not complaining, however. We love the donations. We also added more shelving made possible with a gen- erous donation by Nick Fintzelberg. The shelving is used to store the Library core collection, technical books, shop manuals and duplicated books that are for sale. Speaking of donations (along with the book, literature and automotive memo- rabilia), we appreciate your cash donations; because the Library continues to have operating expenses, and we need them to keep the doors open. Since the Library is a charitable non-profit, a 501(c)3 organization, your donations are tax-deductible (similar to donating to the Red Cross or the American Cancer Society) - so please remember us when you are considering any donations. This year the Library attended many automotive events, including San Diego’s Big 3 Swap Meet, Santa Fe Concorso, in New Mexico and Hershey. There are many more we would like to attend, but the logistics, time and expense does limit the events we are able to attend. If you do see us at an event, please stop in our booth and say hello. However, if know of an event you think the Library should attend, please let Mac MacPherson know and we will try to add it to our calendar. Finally, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have a good winter planning for the summer tours. THE EVOLUTION OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Continued from page 1 and high. REO tried to overcome this in 1934 by basically having two transmissions aboard – one used at ordinary speeds and the second when a low gear was required to slow the car. This was not cost-effective and further research could not be continued, as the company was about to go under and had no monetary resources to do so. Enter Swedish engineer Alf Lysholm, who produced the first of these for British buses under the banner of the Leyland Mo- tor Corporation. By combining his discov- eries and their own research, the engineers working for Cadillac came up with the de- sign for its Hydra-Matic transmission, hav- ing scrapped earlier ‘synchromesh’ manual steel-on-steel friction drive because of its 1907 Sturtevant — Automatic Auto Transmission (HCFI Archive) costly nature.

Packard’s offering of the Ultramatic came in use in 1949. American Motors and Studebaker soon followed with their own versions: the Chrysler ‘Powerflite’ and ‘Torqueflite’ transmissions in 1953 & 1956 respectively. In 1960, whale oil was re- moved from transmission fluids and re- placed with synthetic fluid. Further innova- tions to the automatic transmission would continue, but the most radical innovations would not occur until the early 1980’s, when the advent of lockup torque convert- ers (a mechanical clutch locking the torque converter pump and turbine together to eliminate slip at cruising speeds) and com- puter-controlled fluid solenoid technology was introduced to production vehicles (known now as ECU and TCU technolo- gy). In 2002, working in conjunction with BMW, Fredrichshafen introduced the very first six-speed transmission. It was un- veiled in the BMW E65 7-Series, and was christened the ‘ZF 6HP26.’ The ‘ZF’ de- noted the innovations developed to this technology by those gears for engines in the airship industries of old – most notably airship innovator Fredrich Von Zeppelin.

  • Shlall RACING CARS.* by HN CHARLES, B.Sc.7
    500 THE INSTITUTION OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERS. ShlALL RACING CARS.* By H. N. CHARLES, B.Sc.7 (ASSOCIATEMEMBER.) February, 1935. INTRODUCTION. It is undeniable that everybody with a normal sense of values enjoys a clean sporting contest of any kind between adversaries who are fairly and evenly matched. To make the contest a real test of merit it must take place in public, and must be in accordance with the accepted rules. The above requirements are met by motor racing, since thousands of people witness the great long-distance motor races of the present day. The rules usually are also comparatively strict, and fine sportsmanship frequently exists in addition, in connexion with honouring the unwritten rules of the motor racing game. It has been the author’s good fortune during the last few years to be entrusted with the dcsigning of a number of types of what, for the want of a better term, may be briefly described as “ small racing cars.” The work, as it happens, has been entirely carried out for one Company, whose drawing office and experimental depart- ment are combined under his care. Having previously been in daily contact at different times with motor-cycle engines, airship engines, both rotary and stationary aeroplane engines, and a variety of accessories connected with the various types, it was at first some- what difficult to go back to the beginning and start with small engines all over again, but there is a great fascination about these small units, because they provide an almost ideal ground for experiment, the cost of which is greatly reduced by the small size of the parts involved.

Originally made for the Japanese, European and Australasian markets, the City was retired in 1994 after the second generation. The nameplate was revived in 1996 for use on a series of compact four-door sedans aimed primarily at developing markets, first mainly sold in Asia outside of Japan but later also in Latin America and Australia. From 2002 to 2008, the City was also sold as the Honda Fit Aria in Japan. It is a subcompact sedan built on Honda's Global Small Car platform, which it shares with the Fit/Jazz (a five-door hatchback), the Airwave/Partner (a wagon/panel van version of the Fit Aria/City), the Mobilio, and the Mobilio Spike—all of which share the location of the fuel tank under the front seats rather than rear seats. By mid-2009, cumulative sales of the City has exceeded 1.2 million units in over 45 countries around the world since the nameplate was revived in 1996.[1] In 2011, the City is also sold as Honda Ballade in South Africa.

Gabriela Achtenová Automatizace převodovky – minulost a budoucnost Gearbox automation – past and future 1 Summary The lecture summarizes known solutions of semi and fully automatised gearboxes from the beginning of their usage in motor vehicles (from approximately 1930‘ies of last century) till nowadays. From recent designs are involved typical representatives from passenger cars and trucks. In the overview we are focusing on typical members from the family of automatised gearboxes only, i.e. on the transmissions where the gearshift occurs with interruption of torque flow. The Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) – also known as Dual Clutch Transmission − is not included in the description. The lecture ends with description of possible future evolution of automatised gearboxes. Two domains are described: • The adaptation of internal gearshift mechanism intended for automation. • Possible cover of the power gap due to the interruption of torque flow during gear shift. The author’s expectations and research work in this field are discussed. 2 Souhrn Přednáška shrnuje známá řešení částečně nebo plně automatizovaných převodovek od jejich prvního použití v motorových vozidlech (přibližně ve třicátých letech minulého století) po současnost. Ze současných převodovek jsou zahrnuty jak představitelé konstrukcí v osobních, tak nákladních vozidlech. V uvedeném přehledu se zabýváme zejména typickými členy této skupiny převodných ústrojí, tedy automatizovanými převodovkami, kde k zařazení rychlostních stupňů dochází při přerušení toku výkonu. Dvouspojkové převodovky nejsou zahrnuty. Přednáška je uzavřena okénkem do možného směřování dalšího vývoje automatizovaných převodovek. Popsány jsou dva hlavní směry: • Úprava vnitřního mechanismu řazení pro následnou automatizaci.
