E Hayes & Son Motorcycle Touring 1912 Minerva NEW ZEALAND’S FOREMOST HISTORICAL MOTORING MAGAZINE No. 331 December 2014/January 2015 $6.95 E HAYES & SON Home of the World’s Fastest Indian MOTORCYCLE TOURING in 1914 Behind the Wheel 1912 MINERVA 9 418979 000012 Every month when Beaded Wheels arrives, I look at whatever historic photos are at the start of the magazine. Last issue’s photos with a Timaru reference has stirred me to action. One of my uncles married a Miss Young of the Young Bros families. I have two photos in which I’d love to have the cars identified: My grandfather Michael Maze married my grandmother, Sarah Jessep, at her parents’ home at Hanging Rock in South Canterbury on 9 March 1910. They lived and farmed near Pleasant Point all their lives. Here they are on their wedding day. I have wondered, since I first saw this photo 40 years ago, what make and model the car is. I don’t think it belonged to my grandfather although he went on to own two interesting cars: a Vulcan, 1914 I think, bought for use as a taxi in Christchurch and later a mid 1920s Sunbeam saloon. My father told me the Vulcan was dumped in the Tengawai River near Pleasant Point while the Sunbeam was sold. I’d love to know what happened to it. I know my father was sorry to see it go. My grandfather bought a Dodge in the late 1930s and kept it until no longer able to drive but the Vulcan and Sunbeam were somewhat more exotic. So, can anyone identify the car? The second photo shows my father, sitting up beret-clad on the back seat some time I think in 1931/32 but I can’t be certain. He was a keen deerstalker in his 20s and is shown here with friends possibly, in the Fairlie/ PHOTOGRAPHS REQUIRED Mckenzie country area on a deerstalking trip. And the car is? Submissions of suitable prints and information (where available) are welcome. Supplied by Julian Maze, Timaru. Please send original photographs of historical interest with any available information to: Beaded Wheels, PO Box 13140, Christchurch 8141. Laserprints/photocopies are not suitable.

    College of Engineering, School of Civil Engineering University of Birmingham Managing Technical and Operational Change: How understanding a railway’s historic evolution can guide future development: A London Underground case study. by Piers Connor Submitted as his PhD Thesis DATE: 15th February 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Managing Technical & Operational Development PhD Thesis Abstract The argument for this thesis is that patterns of past engineering and operational development can be used to support the creation of a good, robust strategy for future development and that, in order to achieve this, a corporate understanding of the history of the engineering, operational and organisational changes in the business is essential for any evolving railway undertaking. It has been the objective of the author of this study to determine whether it is essential that the history and development of a railway undertaking be known and understood by its management and staff in order for the railway to function in an efficient manner and for it to be able to develop robust and appropriate improvement strategies in a cost-effective manner.

  • Ignition System - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 116 PM
    Ignition system - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 116 PM Ignition system An ignition system generates a spark or heats an electrode to a high temperature to ignite a fuel-air mixture in spark ignition internal combustion engines, oil-fired and gas-fired boilers, rocket engines, etc. The widest application for spark ignition internal combustion engines is in petrol (gasoline) road vehicles such as cars and motorcycles. Compression ignition Diesel engines ignite the fuel-air mixture by the heat of compression and do not need a spark. They usually have glowplugs that preheat the combustion chamber to allow starting in cold weather. Other engines may use a flame, or a heated tube, for ignition. While this was common for very early engines it is now rare. The first electric spark ignition was probably Alessandro Volta's toy electric pistol from the 1780s. Siegfried Marcus patented his "Electrical igniting device for gas engines" on 7 October 1884. Contents History Magneto systems Switchable systems Battery and coil-operated ignition Modern ignition systems Mechanically timed ignition Electronic ignition Digital electronic ignitions Engine management Turbine, jet and rocket engines See also References External links History Magneto systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system#Electronic_ignition Page 1 of 11 Ignition system - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 116 PM The simplest form of spark ignition is that using a magneto. The engine spins a magnet inside a coil, or, in the earlier designs, a coil inside a fixed magnet, and also operates a contact breaker, interrupting the current and causing the voltage to be increased sufficiently to jump a small gap.

  • Small Gas Turbines Chapter 3 Starting
    Chapter 3 Starting and Ignition Systems Ignition systems Gas turbines unlike piston engines employ a continuous combustion process to provide the heat input that releases energy in to the engine working cycle. Once ignited the fuel burns continuously until the engine is shut down, at this point the combustion is extinguished by cutting off the fuel supply. When a gas turbine is started, a means of igniting the fuel is required, in most cases this is provided by an electric spark. One or more igniter plugs (Spark Plugs) are placed in the combustion chamber usually close to a fuel burner nozzle. When the HP fuel cock is opened a fine mist spray admitted by the burner mixes with the surrounding air, reaches the plug and ignites. Many small gas turbines only employ one igniter plug, but in some cases when an engine is constructed with an annular combustion chamber, two are fitted at opposite sides of the combustion chamber. Warning Gas turbine ignition systems are dangerous! Lethal voltages are present particularly in the high-energy types. Always allow several minutes to elapse before dismantling an ignition system so that any capacitors will fully discharge. Always make sure the casing of any igniter unit is electrically bonded to the engine casing. Poor or loose connections can develop potential differences whilst the sparks occur. Never operate an igniter unit without the igniter plug connected! There are three basic types of ignition systems that are used in small gas turbines, high tension (High Voltage), high-energy capacitor-discharge types and torch (Pilot) ignition types.
