  • ~:L~~!:1\.UTOMOTIVE ISTORY
    ~:l~~!:1\.UTOMOTIVE ISTORY SPRING 1990 EVIEW A PUBLICATION OF THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIANS, INC. Editorial Comment One of the most fascinating aspects of automotive history is the study of the many people who figure in the industry which grew up around the motor car. Many of these are giant figures, in terms of their reputation and lasting influ- ence on the industry: Henry Ford the elder, Alfred P. Sloan, even Preston Tucker. For every industry giant, however, there are dozens of others whose lives and work fall in the shadows, but whose contributions to society are no less vital. Texan D.J. Kava is a scholar of Hudson history, and in his travels came across an interesting figure in the persona of George W. Dunham, first chief engineer of Hudson Motor Car Company. Through a short-timer in the auto industry, by Detroit standards, Dunham was the designer behind several production cars before turning his attention to setting industry standards through the Society of Automotive Engineers. He then moved to other endeavors, and left us with the legacy of the modern spindry washing machine and the ubiquitous lawn sweeper. With Kava's treatise on Dunham's career, beginning on page 2, we return Automotive History Review to the field of biography which it championed many years ago. Jim Hockenhull (page 8) has an irrepressible sense of humor (could a Crosley connoisseur survive otherwise?), and in this vein examines why, despite a clever attempt at innova- tion, the Ohio auto maker is not remembered as the pioneer of the modern high-compression engine.

  • An Automotive Innovator's Historical Home the House That Busses Built
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | An Automotive Innovator's Historical Home The house that busses built Published August 14th, 2013 An Automotive Innovator's Historical Home The house that busses built By Cathy Tyson The stately Mediterranean home on the ninth fairway of the Orinda Country Club, built in 1929, can trace its history back to one of the brothers who was a leader in the bus construction business with the Fageol Motor Company started in Oakland in 1916. Innovators Frank and Bill Fageol had a vision that began with the redesign of a tractor, and turned it into a successful business that revolutionized how buses and trucks were built. Prior to the 1906 earthquake, the Fageol brothers were in charge of sales and service at the Rambler dealership at the corner of Telegraph and 37th Street in Oakland, eventually acquiring the Rambler distributorship. Business of these new-fangled cars must have been good - a directory circa 1908 reveals that six other Fageol family members, no mention of spouses or children, had moved to Oakland from Iowa and were working at the dealership. Presumably the grandiose Orinda home was meant to house the large extended family. Fageol Motor Company was in the right place at the View of the front of the Casa del Sue§o. Photos right time to leverage growth in California; the firm Andy Scheck purchased four acres of land near Foothill Boulevard and 106th Avenue for their auto, truck and bus plant in 1917. In the early days of bus manufacturing, multi-passenger vehicles were basically stretched automobile touring cars mounted on a truck chassis.

The publication of this article at this time (January, 1973) is, by almost any means of reconing, a little late. The reason for the lack of timeliness is simply that it took the volunteer workers who prepared this article in their s pare time this long to produce it!

    Top 100 Safety Innovations, Chronological Order Agency/Company/L Year Innovation ocation Detailed Description Dr. William Robinson, after designing and installing the first "open track circuit," realized that although the system worked perfectly it could fail in and unsafe manner-- i.e. display a "clear" signal when in fact the block was occupied by a train or portion of train. He then developed the closed track circuit, where presence of a locomotive or cars would cut the power energizing the relays that would cause a "clear" signal to be displayed. Only when the block was Philadelphia and completely cleared of the train would energy be restored to the relays and the signal display other than "danger" or Erie Railroad, Erie "occupied." This is the basis for automatic block signal systems; the fail-safe detection of track occupancy through Closed Track Pa., Kinzua, changes in electrical current. Without this invention, the safety and efficiency of railroads would never have 1872 Circuit Pennsylvania progressed to the level it has achieved today. Pennsylvania Westinghouse developed the first automatic air brake system, which had a built-in safeguard whereby the brakes on Automatic Air Railroad, the entire train would apply automatically if the train should separate or if air pressure should escape due to leakage Brake System Pittsburgh, in the system. This design set the stage for future air brake systems for the rail and bus industries. 1872 for Railcars Pennsylvania Attached to the front of electric streetcars, the fender would "scoop up" inattentive pedestrians and keep them from Streetcar being swept under the wheels and crushed.
