HERBERT STANDISH NOTES TO THE TRANSCRIPT This transcript was created by the J. D. Somerville Oral HistOlY Collection of the State Library. It conforms to the Somerville Collection's policies for transcription which are explained below. Readers of this oral histOlY transcript shonld bear in mind that it is a record of the spoken word and reflects the informal, conversational style that is inherent in such historical sources. The State Librmy is not responsible for the factual accnracy of the interview, nor for the views expressed therein. Ai; with any historical source, these are for the reader to judge. It is the Somerville Collection's policy to produce a transcript that is, so far as possible, a verbatim transcript that preserves the interviewee's manner of speaking and the conversational style of the interview. Certain conventions of transcription have been applied (ie. the omission of meaningless noises, false starts and a percentage of the interviewee's crutch words). Where the interviewee has had the opportunity to read the transcript, their suggested alterations have been incorporated in the text (see below). On the whole, the document can be regarded as a raw transcript. Abbreviations: The interviewee's alterations may be identified by their initials in inseltions in the transcript. Punctnation: Square bracket [ J indicate material in the transcript that does not occur on the original tape recording. This is usually words, phrases or sentences which the interviewee has inserted to clarify or correct meaning. These are not necessarily differentiated from insertions the interviewer or by Somerville Collection staff which are either minor (a linking word for clarification) or clearly editorial. Relatively insignificant word substitutions or additions by the interviewee as well as minor deletions of words or phrases are often not indicated in the interest of readability. Extensive additional material supplied by the interviewee is usually placed in footnotes at the bottom of the relevant page rather than in square brackets within the text. A series of dots, ................ indicates an untranscribable word or phrase. Sentences that were left unfinished in the normal manner of conversation are shown ending in three dashes, -- -. Spelling: Wherever possible the spelling of proper names and unusual terms has been verified. A parenthesised question mark (?) indicates a word that it has not been possible to verify to date. Typeface: The interviewer's questions are shown in bold print. Discrepancies between transcript and tape: This proofread transcript represents the authoritative version of this oral history interview. Researchers using the original tape recording of this interview are cautioned to check this transcript for corrections, additions or deletions which have been made by the interviewer or the interviewee bnt which will not occur on the tape. See the Punctuation section above.) Minor discrepancies of grammar and sentence structure made in the interest of readability can be ignored but significant changes such as deletion of information or correction of fact should be, respectively, duplicated or acknowledged when the tape recorded version of this interview is used for broadcast or any other form of audio publication. 2 B~ S~h. 1991 Herbert STANDISH Copyright in this interview with Herbert Standish, recorded by Beth M Robertson for the J.D.

A short while ago, it was. considered the "thing" to have it as sm?-ll as ,possible. Nineteen and 20 m. frames were all the vogue and "As httle bIcycle as possible" was the parrot cry. The idea was that a small frame was lighter and more rigid and "therefore faster. Experience, however. taught that they were very erratic in their running and steering over anything like a bumpy surface, while the head bearings simply would not stay properly adjusted. The result is that the pendulUm is now swinging the other way and frames of anything up to 24 -in. are becoming increasingly popular. Frame size, by the way, is the distance from the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the seat lug measuring along the seat tube. Hence, the inside length 01 the rider's leg must always be the deciding factor in determining his frame size. For example, a 5 ft. 6 in. person would probably find it difficult, if not impossible, to get a comfortable position on anything bigger than a 20 in. frame. A 6 ft. J in. rider on the other hand would require an excessive amount of seat pillar and handlebar extension on a similar size. The larger the frame the heavier the machine, of course, but there is nO doubt that the longer "head" is conducive to steadier running and steting. Besides, a very long seat pillar is bound to whip sideways when the rider is really thrusting. Frame size, then. is a purely personal matter, but no rider should require one bigger than 24 in.
