The Opening Run is a great opportunity for members to get together …. so why not extend your stay and make a weekend of it? As well as catching up with friends, there are many things of interest nearby and good local accommodation. Of course there is Blenheim Palace and its gardens and their Winston Churchill Exhibition (5 miles from Combe Mill). In the churchyard of St. Martins, Bladon (3 miles away) is Winston Churchill’s final resting place. Opposite the entrance to Blenheim Palace in Woodstock is the Oxfordshire Museum which has The Oxford Bus Museum & Morris Motors Museum (open on Sundays) is just 2 miles from Combe Mill - their fleet of 40 buses date from 1913 and the collection of Morris cars dates from 1925 to 1977.

We are planning on organising some activities around the event and there will be more information about these in next month’s Bulletin and on the website. Charles Smith Should We Grease Trackrod Ends? John Rowland Steve Uprichard writes: “Don’t grease the track-rod ends on your Morgan. It’s the cones which provide damping to the steering and if you grease them you’ll get steering wobble”. That’s what I’ve heard over the years but I found that if I greased the track- rod ends or squirted chain lube, I got lighter steering without the wobble. I spoke to John Rowland at the 2014 Sporting AGM. Here’s what he sent me: “As you know, I believe that track rod ends were meant to be greased from day one....and probably were. The damping should be done by viscous drag in the grease film, not by metal graunching together. If this happens, My late-type track-rod ends were drilled and tapped 1/4in. UNF or whatever, and a apart from the strain on the track-rod, the car ths steers in an odd, jerky 'click-stop' way, small diameter hole, (5/64 , 2mm or similar) making it difficult to hold in a straight line; it drilled obliquely in each from as far down is always creeping to the left or right.

  • And NUFFIELD CREST Keeping the Record Straight
    NUFFIELD The Man and NUFFIELD CREST Keeping the Record Straight By Caroline Nixon Introduction The ethos of any “not for profit” organisation owes a lot to the character of its founder, in our case, William Morris, who was later to become Lord Nuffield. Nuffield Australia is very grateful to Caroline Nixon, who has taken the trouble to research the life and work of Lord Nuffield and to summarise it so that Nuffield Scholars may better understand the ethos of our organisation. Nuffield the Man was written over a period of time and the early chapters have been printed in recent Scholars Directories. This booklet is the first publication of the completed text. Caroline has also written the story of our Nuffield crest, a now well-recognised symbol, and this is to be found at the rear of this booklet. Nuffield would not be the great organisation that it is without people being passionate enough about it to look for ways in which they can contribute. Jim Geltch AM International Secretariat Nuffield Australia PO Box 586 Moama NSW 2731 (03) 5480 0755 [email protected] www.nuffield.com.au 1 Nuffield International Website http://www.nuffieldinternational.org First printed: - January 2010 Reprints: - March 2012 March 2013 May 2014 2 NUFFIELD The Man To Start With From the early days of the 20th century the name Morris was as much a household name in Great Britain as was Holden in Australia. Since its foundation in 1910 by the manufacturer and industrialist William Morris (later Lord Nuffield), the Morris Motor Company was to launch some twenty five different models of Morris cars on the motoring public.

  • MTWC Opening Run 2015 Sunday 12Th May Combe Mill, Blenheim Palace Sawmills, Oxfordshire
    MTWC Group Events are listed after the GO’s report Those of you who attended the recent AGM may have seen the crystal bowl presented to Rose Hoar during the weekend in recognition of her years of hard work on behalf of the club. For those who didn’t see it, I have attached a couple of photos. Although the glass is no longer made in Stourbridge, once the centre of English lead crystal glass manufacture, the bowl was cut and engraved by an ex-designer for Stuart Crystal, one of the famous local firms. This has not been an easy year for Rose but I am sure you will all agree that this award was richly deserved for all the effort Rose has put into our club over many years .

    Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Miles Collier Collections Page 1 of 203 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • The 'Bridgwater' Motor
    The ‘Bridgwater’ Motor Car The history of Bridgwater’s own motor car and the Company that inspired its production This is a reproduction from the original book by permission Rod Fitzhugh. Introduction. That Bridgwater town at the turn of the century with a population of only 15,000 should have boasted a motor vehicle designed and partly constructed there, but more especially one called the ‘Bridgwater’, may surprise many. To those brought up alongside the Bridgwater Motor Company it is no surprise, but strangely it remains a car which despite research defies total identification. The origin of the ‘Bridgwater’ motor vehicle is no different from the countless other unusual and oddly named cars of the time. Back garden sheds, indeed any building at all with four walls and a roof, proved ideal hideaways where brain and brawn, frequently with more enthusiasm than mechanical knowledge, spent all hours of the day and night producing the invention of all times, a motor car. The prospect of total controlled mobility at speed was a temptation few men could resist. From small origins some large motor companies grew. Others came and went, and although some firms survived, most of the vehicles they produced have long since disappeared. Sadly, it seems this was the fate of the ’Bridgwater’. Indeed if one came to light now, it would be the discovery of a lifetime! Whilst heads today may turn as a customised car roars down the street, we frequently forget that the mass production of identical cars was a later development in the history of the motor vehicle.
