And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

  • "Ford Model AA Oil Tanker Truck"
    "Ford Model AA Oil Tanker Truck" 1930 Ford Model AA 185A Platform Rated: 1-1/2 Ton Motor: 4 Cylinder, 201 CID, 40 HP 6 Volt Battery w/positive ground Brakes: Mechanical Tire Size: High Pressure 32-6 Transmission: 4 Speed Manual non synchronized Fuel Capacity: 11 Gal. Gasoline Truck Body: Briggs and Murray Cargo Body: Columbia Steel Tank Co. Steel Tank Capacity: 625 Gal. Features: Rear cantilever leaf springs Wheel Rims: Bud 5 hole Rear End Type: Single Axle, ring and pinion differential w/dual tires Wheel Base: 157" Service trucks were used for many purposes. This Tanker Truck had three separate internal tanks for different fuels. The most common fuel used was gasoline, kerosene, for lamps, and fuel oil for home furnaces. Each tank could be dispensed independently. All Model AA chassis had wood mounted on the chassis before any structure was added. The five hole steel wheels, produced by the Bud Wheel CO. were specifically designed to allow a dual wheel application without tires rubbing on each other. The differential used a ring and pinion rather than a worm gear used in the Model T. This allowed more speed for the vehicle. The transmission is a four speed manual type with reverse. The transmission was not synchronized and used a different gear ratio, than the Ford Model A standard, to allow more torque for moving heavy loads. Radiators for the Model AA trucks had four cores for cooling rather than the standard three core radiators, used on Model A automobiles. Donated by: Tim Kelley - New Canaan, CT In many cities and towns, oil products were delivered from the oil refineries by railroad.

  • Adenauer Holt Ford Nach Köln
    Auto-Medienportal.Net: 01.10.2020 Im Rückspiegel: Adenauer holt Ford nach Köln Er ließ es sich am 2. Oktober 1930 nicht nehmen: Firmengründer Henry Ford war nach Köln gereist, um gemeinsam mit dem damaligen Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer im Stadtteil Niehl den Grundstein für die deutschen Ford-Werke zu legen. Die Stadt am Rhein hatte sich gegen Konkurrenten wie Magdeburg, Frankfurt am Main und Neuss bei der Ford Motor Company durchgesetzt. Bis heute haben über 17,5 Millionen Autos die Produktionshallen verlassen Bereits seit August 1925 hatte Ford in Deutschland Autos gebaut. In gemieteten Werkhallen am Berliner Westhafen setzten die ersten deutschen Mitarbeiter das legendäre T-Modell ("Tin Lizzie") aus vorgefertigten Teilen zusammen. Als Ford dann in Deutschland einen richtigen Produktionsstandort und eine deutsche Unternehmenszentrale aufbauen wollte, fiel die Wahl auf Köln. Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer, der nach dem Krieg der erste Kanzler der Bundesrepublik wurde, hatte Henry Ford von den Standortvorteilen am Rhein überzeugt. Der Firmengründer gibt sich bei der offiziellen Grundsteinlegung vor 90 Jahren äußerst zuversichtlich: „Ich weiß, die Deutschen werden einen guten Job machen.“ Als erster Ford „made in Cologne“ lief am 4. Mai 1931 ein Lkw, ein Ford Model AA, vom Band. 619 Mitarbeiter produzieren auf 33.000 Quadratmetern Fabrikfläche 60 Fahrzeuge pro Tag, zunächst den Pkw Model A und den Ford AA. Zwei Jahre später, 1933, war das Angebot von Ford in Deutschland auf drei Pkw-Baureihen angewachsen: die Modelle B (Rheinland), Y (Köln) und der mondäne V8. Der Ford Eifel ersetzte 1935 den Y und wurde ebenfalls noch in den 1930er Jahren vom ersten Vertreter einer legendären Baureihe abgelöst – vom ersten Ford Taunus, dem so genannten „Buckel“-Taunus.
