Aveling Barford Lincolnshire Archives 2-AB Aveling-Barford Second deposit (Acc 1990/003:00). Engineering plans of Barford & Perkins and Aveling & Porter Due to the volume of engineering plans held at Lincolnshire Archives a separate catalogue was required. These only hold the individual engineering plans and do not include the drawing registers. Please see the main catalogue for that information. Though many plans have now been catalogued there are a series of plan, which still remain uncatalogued. These uncatalogued series for Aveling & Porter are; 4650-4798, 5955-6376, 6635- 7314, 7500-9145, 9481-9800, 10206-10374, 10545-10799, and F30/1-F33/203. These uncatalogued series for Barford & Perkins are; 010-04699, F159-F1382 and Q1-Q2163. The use of [T] is to represent a tracing. Where a 'digital copy is available' this has been copied onto disc because of the fragile condition of the record. This catalogue was produced with support from the National Cataloguing Grants Programme for Archives. 1 © Lincolnshire County Council Contents Aveling & Porter 2-AB/1/5/1/2/1 General Arrangements p3 2-AB/1/5/1/2/2/ 238-4649 p16 2-AB/1/5/1/2/4/ 4800-5954 p78 2-AB/1/5/1/2/6/ 6380-6634 p162 2-AB/1/5/1/2/8/ 7315-7499 p181 2-AB/1/5/1/2/10/ 9300-9480 p192 2-AB/1/5/1/2/12/ 9801-10206 p203 2-AB/1/5/1/2/14/ 10375-10543 p229 2-AB/1/5/1/2/16/ Part No. Plans p241 Barford & Perkins 2-AB/1/5/2/2/1/ T1006-T2463 p245 2-AB/1/5/2/2/2/ H99-H4209 p264 2 © Lincolnshire County Council 2-AB/1/5 Drawings and Plans 2-AB/1/5/1 Aveling & Porter 2-AB/1/5/1/2 Engineering Plans 2-AB/1/5/1/2/1 General Arrangements 2-AB/1/5/1/2/1/1018 Outline arrangement of compound 1905 motor traction engine.

  • Road Locomotion
    APRIL1900. 185 ROAD LOCOMOTION. BY PROFFSSORH. S. HELE-SHAW, LL.D., F.R.S., Menzher, OF LIVERPOOL. There are strong reasons for thinking that the subject of mechanical propulsion upon common roads has now reached a point when it deserves the very careful consideration of mechanical engineers. The idea of bringing the matter generally before the Institution for discussion is due to our President, whose far-reaching judgment will be admitted by all. The title of this Paper must be admitted to be very comprehensive, but it seems that what is ueeded at this time is a discussion of the general principles of the engineering features of the question, rather than a detailed description of any particular system. For many years the uses and importance of the traction engine have become more and more recognised, and its possibilities in connection with the present war have quite recently been brought very strongly before the public. This engine, the work of which covers only a portion of the field for mechanical propulsion on roads, has been very fully dealt with before this Institution and elsewhere, and it will be in the first place instructive to consider what has led to a general revival of a movement for lighter road-locomotives which about seventy years ago, in the days of Hancock and Gurney, reached a point that for a time appeared to be leading to permanent results of the most important kind, but which ended in complete failure. In one sense this revival is undoubtedly due to the passing of the Locomotives on Highways Act in 1896, previous to which, for more than twenty years, a law had existed, popularly known as the “Man with the Red Flag” Downloaded from pme.sagepub.com at The University of Auckland Library on June 4, 2016 186 ROAD LoaoMomoN.

    Instructed by Richard Sandercock Esq In the matter of his retirement sale. Note: the Fairground Heritage Trust Attraction goes on from strength to strength and is in no way affected by this sale. Auction of Steam Engines, Vehicles, Workshop Machinery and consumables Antique & Vintage Items, Books, literature & Bygones 2nd Revision All lot numbers for lots presently identified will remain the same but pictures and further lots may be added Saturday 21st October 2017 DINGLES FAIRGROUND HERITAGE CENTRE, MILFORD, LIFTON, DEVON, PL16 0AT Sale will commence at 10:00am prompt Directions: Follow the brown signs to Dingles Heritage Fairground from the A30 2 miles East of Lifton Village. (SatNav PL16 0AT) www.kivells.com FOREWORD This would have been the 25th annual collective auction to be held at Milford farm by Kivells in conjunction with Richard Sandercock. Richard purchased the strategically well placed Milford Farm in 1991 with the intention of opening his steam collection to the public in the first museum buildings and utilising the workshop facilities to relocate his R. Dingle & Sons contracting business from their historical site in Stoke Climsland. The museum evolved into what is now The Fairground Heritage Trust collection and visitor attraction and the workshop was to become a centre of excellence for the repair and rebuilding of steam engines with Clive Gibbard working under Richard’s direction. Clive has recently retired and moved away and Richard has decided the moment is right to close the workshop business and sell the equipment and stores. That raised the question of who would look after his long cherished engine Conqueror.

  • Charles Burrell & Sons Limited
    Charles Burrell & Sons Limited Administrative History Joseph Burrell founded the business in the late 1770s, setting up originally as a general smith and repairer of agricultural tools in Thetford. He produced ploughs, harrows and rakes. Early in the 19 th century, with his brothers, James and William, he began designing his own patent agricultural machinery. In 1803 his 'improved drill for sowing crushed oat cake manure with wheat, turnips etc' won a silver cup at the Holkham sheep-shearing festival (a forerunner of the great agricultural shows). A small iron and brass foundry was started under James and continued at the St Nicholas foundry. One of James's sons, James junior, had a small shop and foundry, while the other son Charles inherited the family firm. Charles (grandson of the founder) was 20 when he took over in 1837, and was to see the name of Burrell become world-famous during his 69-year 'reign' to his death in 1906. Charles Burrell & Sons, steam and agricultural machinery manufacturers were the first to introduce a practical heavy duty traction engine for use on roads. The firm produced traction engines, steam rollers and ploughing engines. More than 4,000 engines left the works during the life of the firm and many were put in countries around the world. In 1848 Burrell's produced their own single cylinder (SC) portable in 1848 which they exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Show. The firm continued to manufacture other agricultural machinery, and produced the first combined threshing and finishing machine about this time. Burrell joined forces with engineer, James Boydell, to produce the first practical traction engine, a self-moving road engine for pulling loads.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • An Energy Model for Sustainable Decision-Making in Road Construction Projects
    AN ENERGY MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE DECISION-MAKING IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Jan Krantz, Weizhuo Lu, Tim Johansson & Thomas Olofsson Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. ABSTRACT: Road construction operations often require considerable amounts of energy in the form of fossil fuels, thus generating substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While fuel efficiency of the heavy construction equipment is extensively studied, limited attention is given to how the construction process can be planned in order to reduce energy use and GHG-emissions. In this study a conceptual model is proposed for the assessment of energy use and GHG-emission on-site at road construction projects. The model is applied to a road construction project to evaluate production alternatives in the early planning stages of the project. As a result the most favorable alternative in terms of energy use and GHG-emissions could be selected during the construction phase. This demonstrates the model’s ability to quantify environmental effects and energy use of different production alternatives. KEYWORDS: Earthworks; Energy estimation; Greenhouse gas emissions. 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Road construction generally requires extensive earthworks operations such as excavations, hauling, and depositing of materials as well as crushing of rock. These operations require large and energy intensive equipment and thus generate considerable amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Apif M, Phil 2013). (Stripple 2001) estimated that the amount of fuel needed to construct a road is about 5% of the total fuel consumption of all traffic, of 5 000 vehicles per day, using the road during its expected lifetime of 40 years. Energy efficiency, as a measure for mitigating GHG-emissions, has become one of the most important centers of attention for the Swedish Transport Administration (STA).

Recent research however shows that gravel have many roads have serious limitations in many situations. Very often gravel surfaces are not limitations appropriate, affordable or sustainable for rural roads. There are for example serious problems related to the maintenance and sustainability of gravel surfaces (or ordinary earth roads). Although the initial construction costs of gravel roads are low, the maintenance costs are very high. The suitability of graveling roads depends on a range of factors. These include for example the road gradient, rainfall, material quality, haul distance and maintenance regime. Gravel should NOT be used if any of the following conditions, or a combination of them applies: Gravel quality is poor; Situations Compaction & thickness cannot be assured ; where gravel is not suitable as Haul distances are longer than 10km; surface option Rainfall is very high – Gravel loss is related to rainfall; There are dry season dust problems; Technical Guidelines for Supervisors Technical Traffi c levels are high, i.e. more than 200 vehicle equivalents per day; 49 Road gradients are more than 6% (with < 1,000mm rain per year) or more than 4% (with 1,000 – 2,000mm rain per year); If rainfall is more than 2,000mm/year; Adequate maintenance cannot be provided; Sub-grade is weak or soaked; Gravel deposits are limited or environmentally sensitive.
