Title: Vintage Photo Of The Day
Post by: muddy on September 11, 2018, 10:05:25 PM
Figured it would be fun to see a new vintage photo every day.

Try to keep it related to tools.


I'll start!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180912/5009c02fab8992c30aab0fedb9eaab0d.jpg)

The cigar is a nice touch. I called my wife to see this and she said the same thing I did - he looks like her dad a little. Only he sold autoparts didn't work on cars.

looks like a 41 Chevy?  That light is just waiting to drop into that fan.
That's why they are called " Drop lights"
Could have been me in my Ignition shop days.
Good idea for a thread

The guy with the camera look like Chris Economaki -- he was a legendary motor sports reporter for ABC and CBS. He also wrote for many car publications and headed several organizations.

Here's a few from my Sun collection ..
Title: Re: Vintage Photo Of The Day
Post by: goodfellow on September 13, 2018, 08:40:55 AM
.... a few more. Note that in the early days SUN's advertising campaigns featured their technicians in white or sometimes blue lab coats.  It was meant to impress on the customer that the SUN technician was a trained professional -- akin to a doctor or engineer. SUN had an ad and marketing department that owners re-invent their business model. Clean organized shops along with properly dressed and courteous personnel were at the time considered to be the hallmark of a SUN equipped service center -- no matter how small that business was. SUN provided a lot of pre- and post sale support to their customers; not only on the use of their equipment, but also in the marketing, sales, and promotion of the business.

Neat photos. I noticed the Mercedes ? star in the Ford grill. That's a 46/47 Hudson chassis they're training on.
Those were " modern " shops back then. Clean was for when you ran out of work and didn't want to be sent home.

.... I pondered that as well, but I think the center hub just fell out or broke off, and someone just put a star in there. It sure looks like a 50's Ford grill, but the star is confusing

The parts store photo with the FIRESTONE sign, just might be a Firestone store.   Worked at a place that had one half their building as Firestone.  Parts, accessories, bikes, fishing gear, etc.   Have seen a bare handful of Firestone wrenches.   The pic above the 49 Ford with the spinner in the grille,  guy in white coveralls working on an inline six,  cannot make out what brand of engine?

Cool pics -- That Ford garage looks a lot like the place I started at in the early 70's. Oxy/Acet was the only economical choice back then for small shops welding sheetmetal. Spot painting was done in the last bay (closest to the door for ventilation ) and without an fan. Mechanical work was done in and around the body work area.

The two images above showing the guy getting ready to paint the Olds and the small one that followed showing the guy taping off are very confusing, especially the one showing the Olds. I do not see "gun ready" in that image. And the small one does little to explain what that guy is going to paint at all.

I think the gent in the small pic is back-taping the panel to establish a blend line, while in the large pic the image may be staged, but I don't thinks so. I can remember clearly that spot painting was often done without using a dust mask or respirator, and the adjoining panels being only partially taped off to protect from overspray. Lacquer paint ruled and it was relatively easy to blend and cut paint to match the existing finish -- hence they did the absolute minimum masking.

Thanks Ray, I was hoping for some clarity. I hate lacquer, I was never able to make anything I painted in lacquer shine. Once I started with enamel and hardener I never again used lacquer. Plus, lacquer is not as durable as enamel and more prone to damage. In fact if someone told me all I could use is lacquer I would never fill a gun cup again!

Nice photos, real nice.  Check the tires on that hot rod with the load of teens,  the kind you had to use black air.   The steam laundry shot is really nostalgic for me.   The local blacksmith shop that finally closed in 1980, looked the same inside,  windows, ceiling and line shaft.  What is ironic is that it was a steam laundry too, when the first blacksmith bought it in 1906.  The first, small blacksmith shop photo,  has a really serious sized bellows on the ceiling,  way bigger than most shops had.  The bartender wearing a (duster),  which oddly enough looks a lot like the shop coat that the teacher was wearing.

Digging the hot rod pics.  I love the sound of a flatty also.  Got hooked on them at the rat rod show in Latimore PA.  This year it was held for the first time at Lincoln Speedway which would have been way cool if it hadn't rained.  Still had the show but track was too muddy to run the cars on it.  They had a vintage dare devil show too which couldn't preform.

Western Auto was cool. The cheapest bias ply tires available. I don't think they were even 2ply. ;D But they had .22 ammo too, so it wasn't all bad.

We had a 1hour martinizing cleaners here too.

Old Home offices of Western Auto was in KCMO. Even today, most of two decades since they folded the uniquely shaped building still sports its Western Auto signs identifying it as their home office and corporate location. I miss Western Auto. They were cheap as a supplier I will admit, but when I was a kid their parts kept the old mans fleet rolling.

For a kid of the muscle bike era, sting rays, krate bikes and spider bikes the accessories of that era sold by WA was vast. Firestone stores had the best tires some green, blue and red, and the coolest cheaters and red line slicks too!

Nothing quite as impressive as watching a man skilled with a team that is working a set of Belgium, or other such draft horse. I had personally never seen a team of big horses being worked until only a few years ago. I was totally blown away and impressed beyond the ability to put into words! You cannot understand what I am speaking of by reading about it either, you have to see a team being worked to totally understand.

I snapped this in 1980 in a tiny western Iowa town.  Was awed to see the HUDSON sign still on the garage.   Note the gas pumps right on the curb in front of that shop,  remember quite a few pumps without a (gas station).    Somewhere I have a hardcover  coffee table book called Horses in Harness.   Pics of horses and mules moving unbelievably heavy stuff, like early electric generators and transformers.   36 head of horses moving a mired down circus wagon,  stuff we may never see in this age.

On that model T,  an aftermarket radiator cover, maybe a winterfront?   Covers up the Ford emblem.   Also a neat aftermarket radiator cap.   Really only two things hazardous to cranking a Model T, Ford.   If you didn't set the spark advance correctly  the crank could snap back and break your arm, and if the hand brake wasn't set correctly, when it fired up it could take off, so if you were rolling on the ground with a broken arm, there was a small possibility you could be run over, but they didn't weigh all that much!!!   That T was new enough it had an electric starter,  if it had a good battery.

LOL --they were still used back in the 70's Phil. In the days of alkyd/acrylic enamels, cellulose and acrylic lacquers, these were a common sight. Modern paint booths weren't that common, and most paint jobs were done in a non-temp controlled ventilated enclosed bay with a wet floor to keep the dust down. Using heat lamps would flash the lacquer or enamel dry to the touch within 30 minutes. Thereby eliminating the chance of dust and other junk getting into the paint during a long curing process. Those things put out some heat --

........White uniforms in the shop, what were they thinking?


It was a brilliant marketing campaign. With the white uniforms and shop coats they were trying to project a scientific/research professional image. They copied lab coats and clinical attire to suggest that their equipment and training was on par with the latest technical standards used in the medical and engineering fields. They put great effort into making their equipment designs look futuristic and "space age" -- which was a hot trend at the time.

Sun also had the best training and marketing programs in the entire industry. Their marketing strategy was built around the concepts of "Scientific Diagnosis", and their equipment, customer support, training, and branded line of clothing emphasized that aspect of the strategy.

I like the pic of the dealership garage above. I remember when my independent foreign car shop switched over from the old single cylinder hydraulic lifts to the dual cylinder models, and it was a huge effort to dig up those big old castings along with the hydraulic tanks which were often buried under the concrete slab to save space. It was probably the single most efficient improvement they ever made up to that time, because it allowed free access to the bottom of the vehicle for doing extensive transmission and drivetrain work.

we had a single post at the Texaco station. I seem to recall you could rotate the car in the air if it was small enough.


That young man clowning with the raised engine could well have been me. I don't remember when I learned that the dirtier you were didn't necessarily equate to how hard you worked. at some point I noticed the "clean" guys got paid a heck of a lot more. I hate getting dirty now. ;D

Wow, that brings back some memories.  Seems everybody smoked back in the day.  Had to look it up

Self-reported adult smoking peaked in 1954 at 45%, and remained at 40% or more through the early 1970s, but has since gradually declined. The average rate of smoking across the decades fell from 40% in the 1970s to 32% in the 1980s, 26% in the 1990s, and 24% since 2000.Jul 24, 2008

I remember smoking everywhere, even on planes.  There were no smoking restrictions except maybe in hospitals that I remember.   Even if a household didn't smoke, they had ash trays for their friends that did.

So true Phil! -- Heck in the 1950s my entire family, and even the dog smoked -- literally everyone smoked . From grandparents to parents, aunts, and uncles - with very few exceptions they all smoked. I smoked for a few years in early college, but gave it up for sports and never went back to cigarettes after that. I did pick up cigars from my father and FIL later on in life -- along with their cigs, they enjoyed a good cigar on special occasions.

In Pittsburgh when I was a kid virtually everyone smoked. It was rare to see someone who didn't so at least there 40% or even 50 sounds very low it seemed like it was about 99%. My mother didn't although she tried it from time to time most likely because she was the only who didn't.

I recall bringing cigarettes into a hospital for friends who smoked (they even sold them in the gift shops) and they were allowed to smoke in the rooms, as were visitors. The only places I recall not being allowed to smoke was movie theaters, elevators and airplanes for take off and landing. And inside my high school although we were permitted to smoke on the property just not in the building (except some who smoked in the lav's but that's another story).

My city outlawed smoking in all buildings inside the city limits several years ago. We stopped at a bar in Corpus a couple weeks ago and the blue haze hung about 4ft off the floor. Oddlyenough stale beer and cigarette smoke smelled good.

Absolutely -- it was a sign of professionalism and work status. I always cringe though, when I see old photos of machinists wearing ties while working with some huge lathes or mills. I always assumed they were staged photos, but an old timer confirmed that in his shop in the 30's and 40's the machinists, tool and die makers and a few other trades were required to wear ties along with an apron or overcoat over the top to keep it from dangling into machinery.

The cigar is a nice touch. I called my wife to see this and she said the same thing I did - he looks like her dad a little. Only he sold autoparts didn't work on cars.

I think that old gent looks like a lot of the guys that we remember. In fact he does resemble my FIL to a great degree as well -- glasses, outfit, facial features, and a constant supply of Lucky Strike cigarettes instead of the cigar, and you have the FIL down to a tee. He was a mechanic working in the trade for almost 50 years.

I used to like wearing a tie, wore one every day for work and took pride in not opening the collar while wearing it. Not anymore for some reason I lost the enjoyment and now it's a chore to wear one. The interesting thing is now a tie would be odd for any of those jobs except maybe the technical instruction and even there no big deal to not wear it. Even a lot of management no longer wears one.

As a kid I recall going on airplanes and people were always dressed up - my mom dressed my brother and I in ties and sports coats to get on a plane.

What a beautiful sight! I was just old enough to remember that the local Ford dealership had a similar looking lube station up until 1963. Then they built a whole new "modern" shop building, and all the cool old art deco equipment and design went to the scrapper. Even as a kid I knew that it was a loss to see all that artfully stylized stuff go away in the name of "progress".

Agree on the smashed Caddy.  Pierce Arrow always had headlights mounted on the fenders,  I believe the Springfield wrecker is a Cadillac,  great body work converting it from a sedan though.  The combines dumping grain in the Chevy, date to the 50s,  while behind the old Chevy is a 65-66 model, so those combines were pretty old for the time, cabs were coming in to play by 66.  The badly smashed wreck with the police standing about looks like a Graham, 38' or so.   Nice bunch of pics!

They duly arrived in Auckland in March 1913 ,then delivered by scow , one to Whakatane and one to Matata. The pontoons had been constructed locally , ready for the Priestman components to be assembled and mounted.
One unit known as #4 was then towed to the job site .
Meanwhile the sand dunes had been parted by horse and scoop teams and a channel formed for the dredge.
Photo shows #4 excavating with a clamshell bucket and depositing onto either of the two chutes that slid the material well away from the working , to become stopbanks.
Note the size of the machine relevant to the man standing.
Interesting statistic;
In the 1914 financial year Priestman #4 removed 82,850 cubic yards at a cost of 3.9d per yard . The horse scoop teams excavated 35,650 cubic yards at 6d per cubic yard.
Subsequently two further Priestman’s were ordered.

Another from the Rangitaiki Plains swamp land drainage programme.
A BAY CITY DIPPER DREDGE working in 1921 on the Awakaponga canal ( between Edgecumbe and Matata) in extremely difficult country where it proved admirable.
The bucket from this dredge is mounted on a concrete pad in the reserve by Thornton bridge along with a large brass plaque commemorating the drainage scheme.
Note the stabiliser spuds to support the pontoon.
But look at the house on a separate pontoon tethered to the dredge pontoon. Quite literally “ living on the job.” Well there wasn’t any dry land for a house , or even roads.
Coal for the dredge steam engine was ferried to it by scow.
Hard torturously slow pioneering work . Absolutely amazing!

Another from the Rangitaiki Plains swamp land drainage programme.

The Tarawera River flowed close to the foothills, outlet being in Matata lagoon. It was an extremely meandering river looping back and around at many points , fairly shallow and prone to entrapping great quantities of pumice and silt from way upstream. The consequence of these factors caused frequent and bad flooding of the adjacent land.
In 1911 a Hammond Pony dredge was purchased locally and mounted to a pontoon constructed on site at Matata.
This was a bucket-ladder type dredge designed to dig and lift 1.5 cubic yards a minute to a depth of 12 feet and discharge the material by a conveyor. The entire machinery works was driven by a 30 hp Standard oil-engine.
The Hammond Pony was put to work to straighten and widen , and deepen the river to lower the water level by 2 ft 6 ins. and up to 3 ft 3 ins. It continued deepening and widening its earlier cuts to create a faster unrestricted flow , until it was done and decommissioned in 1919 , 8 years later.
Note :-
* The house on the rear of the pontoon.
* The jib crane for transferring provisions.
* The bloke standing in the foreground, slasher in hand, not one to miss a photo opportunity.

A friend of mine, Shaun, is the source of the photos above. Here is a photo of him, a long time ago, with a scrub roller set up. A scrub roller is a big roller with blades on it. It is released from the ridge top smashing and breaking the scrub before being hauled back to the ridge with the winch. The crushed scrub is left to dry then burnt before grass is sown.

Another one.

So once the Rangitaiki outlet and many other canals and drains were nearing completion (1910 to 1925 ), the water table was lowering to a point where settlers could start developing their allotted blocks.
Photo shows a typical scene of a dense scrub covered area being ploughed. A Samson Sieve Grip Tractor is being used pulling a single furrow deep board swamp plough. This had to penetrate deep enough to bring the soil up from beneath the Tarawera ash layer and by means of an attached loop chain bury the scrub sticks and vegetation in the bottom of the furrow.
This was photographed circa 1923. Prior to the arrival of this type tractor , a 6 horse team was used but success was limited in such conditions.

So cool -- that you have such a rich pictorial history of your family Noel.

With the extended family's help, my uncle and a cousin collected photos from all relatives in order to scan and digitize them. We have several hundred photos from as far back as just after the War of Northern Aggression, along with scanned documents leading the Madara family line all the way to the Madeira Islands off the coast of Portugal in the early 1700s. This includes at east three immigrant families that came to the US by way of France and Alsace Lorraine. We can trace ancestors from the War of Independence, War or 1812, Civil War, and the world wars. Most stayed in the Pennsylvania area, but some went as far as The Dakotas before they were states.

I fell in love with them at the Rat Rod show I attend every year.  Very cool show as they let you take your car out on the old dirt track and make a little noise.  No real racing per se but they used to make a mud hole at one corner and guys would dip down, get a little squirrely and fling mud on the crowd.  That was at Latimore Pa race course.  They moved the venue last year to Lincoln speedway and I was anticipating a little more action but the rain stopped use of the course.  They actually had a stunt team with old cars from the 50's and 60's and that would have been a blast.

With the change in venue, they are able to run under the tracks insurance which was a problem at the other track.  Lincoln runs a full schedule every year so one more event made little difference,.

Pictured here in 1975 is the Terex 33-19 Titan prototype haul truck in action. Planned in the late 1960’s and built in the London, Ontario, General Motors plant, this 350-ton-capacity unit rolled out of the factory in June 1974.

This diesel-electric drive rear dump hauler was powered by a 16-cylinder EMD locomotive engine rated at some 2,475 kW (3,300 hp) which in turn drove an alternator supplying rectified current to the four drive motors located in the rear axle housing.
Initially leased to Kaiser Steel Corporation, the Titan went into service for three years at their Eagle Mountain iron ore operation in California. In 1978, it was relocated to their large-scale coal mining operation in the Kootenay region of British Columbia where it remained in service until 1991.

By 1993 the Titan was in danger of being scrapped. Due to the generosity of Elkview Coal Corporation and local citizen volunteers proud of their coal mining heritage, it was disassembled and moved to its current display location on Highway 3 in Sparwood, B.C.

Weighing in at 260 tons empty, 20 metres (66 feet) in length and over 7.6 metres (25 feet) wide, it was not an easy task. When you’re heading by, it’s well worth the stop to see this massive, one-of-a-kind Canadian built hauler; thanks to those who had the foresight to preserve it.

I showed the tractor pull pics to my neighbor who pulls.  He said the theory behind the tall header tubes with smaller connector tubes connecting them was to create a "venturi" to help suck the exhaust out of the next cylinder faster.  One cylinder helping the next.

On the pic of the 3 engine tractor with the tires squatted down, he said they ran them with no valve core in the stem.  The side walls were so stiff, that was the only way to get them to squat and hook.  There were likely no special pulling tires available then.

I also noticed the tall lugs on the tires.  They purposely have them cut down now and at a bit of an angle to get more rubber contact on the track.  He had a new set of tires this year and sent them out to be shaved.  On several spots, I notice you could see the cord of the tire where it had been shaved and he was fine with that.

Look at you learning!


When my cousins were pulling, they made there first set of cut tires by themselves. They heated a very sharp cheifs knife with a torch and would slice the top of the bars. It took some work Craig almost gutted himself when the knife slipped one time.


Now a days as with everything else it's done with machines in half the time....

The shot of the men laying down on the grinders =  Nose to the grindstone!
Title: Re: Vintage Photo Of The Day
Post by: fatfillup on February 12, 2019, 02:35:49 PM
Wow, never thought of that.  Here is a little google fu

Etymology[edit]
Users lay on (often strapped to) a plank above the grindstone.[1] First attested 1532, from John Frith's A Mirror to know Thyself:

"This Text holdeth their noses so hard to the grindstone, that it clean disfigureth their faces."



When sharpening blades, knife grinders tend to bend over the grindstone, or even like flat down with their faces near the grindstone in order to hold the blades against the stone.




Origin

There are two rival explanations as to the origin of this phrase. One is that it comes from the supposed habit of millers who checked that the stones used for grinding cereal weren't overheating by putting their nose to the stone in order to smell any burning. The other is that it comes from the practice of knife grinders when sharpening blades to bend over the stone, or even to lie flat on their fronts, with their faces near the grindstone in order to hold the blades against the stone.

Good info Phil! .....but I tend to believe that a "Miller" would work with a millstone -- grindstones were used mostly in the sharpening and honing professions.

While visiting a medieval castle armory, a tour guide in Germany explained it the following way. In those days traveling bladesmiths would cross Europe in wagons moving from town to town to repair and sharpen cutting instruments (scissors, knives, sickles, chisels, planes, etc..) and they would carry portable foot powered grinding stones mounted on stands where the baldesmith could sit right behind the stone. To keep that mass from moving and jerking, they would have to sit very close to the stone while it's rotating in order to grind and hone a good edge. It took a lot of experience; hence it was a learned trade -- young men went from Apprentice, to credentialed Journeyman, and eventually to Master grinder. Huge amounts of concentration and constant weight shifting was necessary to keep the entire rig stable, and that meant that they had to get their faces very close to that stone -- hence the popularity of the phrase.

I think the expression makes sense deriving from the sharpening aspect but a spinning stone would be pretty stable - it's a flywheel so momentum is conserved and the stand won't rock when it's spinning. But getting up close to see what's happening and makes all kinds of sense. A stone can take off a lot very quickly.

Those family pics depict a hard life; yet at one time that used to be the norm for most of the population. The second pic shows a father mending shoes - which according to my grandfather, was a basic needed skill for men at one time. Women learned how to cook and sew, while men where often tasked to become the cobblers in the family. A single pair of shoes was often the norm for each family member, and then only worn in colder months -- in summer it was "barefoot time" for the kids to save wear and tear on the shoes.

My grandfather having greon up through the depression could "patch" anything. It may not have been the best or prettiest repair but it would certainly make the machine or item last longer since they couldn't afford a new one.

The 250 ton Hammerhead crane was built in 1951 at Garden Island in Sydney and served at the fitting out wharf, dominating the skyline for 63 years until demolished in 2014. Seen here in about 1969 unloading ex HMS Wintringham, soon to become Diving Tender Seal (DTV-1001), one of 3 Ham class vessels from England, along with Neasham and Popham

The Wintringham arrived in Sydney as deck cargo on the merchant ship Gladstone Star on 29 July 1968. She was converted into a diving tender by Halvorsens, renamed HMAS Seal (DTV1001/Y298) and entered service in December 1968.

That 1956 (concept car),  probably in clay has some interesting design components   The tiny fins appeared  on the 57 Cadillac Barritz models.   The split back window was a feature of the 63 Corvette Stingray..    The roof has what appear to be (Tee Tops).   Which didn't  come along until the 70s.  Those Torpedo back bumpers  were on a later Cadillac idea car.   In the background is a 56 Chevy Nomad  wagon, a vehicle forever on my bucket list.  Harley Earl  really had an eye for design .

Back in about 1973 in high school a friend kept wiping out traction bars on his 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1 with an auto trans. He took his car to an old school drag racing fabricator guy who built him a set of custom bars. When the car was done we took it Irwindale raceway for Grudge Night to test it. As I was sitting in the stands with the old guy we were watching as a guy did a burnout in his Camaro and the old guy remarked that the car would dump it's tranny on the starting line. The car took off and dumped the tranny on the track and I asked the guy how he knew that would happen. He stated that he could hear it was gonna happen. I was in awe.

There was a time when hot rodders were harassed, not that some didn't deserve it.   The destroyed dash board is from a 55 Chevy,  looks like the flyweel exploded, came through the floor boards, some guys lost legs, arms, my uncle did.

Two of them look rather depressed. I guess cruising the boulevard all night and nobody hitting on them makes them not happy. The driver sure is smiling though and I wonder what she is looking forward to.

It must have been quite the extravaganza when those Parade of Progress Harley Earl designed GM Futurliners showed up in small towns across the US. People at the time were pretty isolated not only on a social level, but also culturally and technologically as well. I can easily see where the arrival of the various GM displays and associated lectures were one of the most significant events in their lives.

The bike with the SBC must have been a blast to ride. wasn't going far with no radiator but it would sure get there fast. Looks like a 3X2 intake as well.

Very interesting. Looks like it must have been a 1/4 miler. Not much fuel in that little tank and I don't see a headlight. Interesting exhaust system. The center carb must have been plated off - no room under the frame.

Yes , 1/4mile drag bike. He built several through the years. Wish I could recall his name.

I think that's a Shelby Mustang Ford Tri-Power intake -- rare as hen's teeth and super expensive if you find one. Steve was probably talking to him about a certain Highland Green Mustang that he was going to drive in a new movie project -- LOL

That first pic is one of the main reasons rail dragsters went to mid engine. Too many drivers went face first into flying engine parts. Sitting directly over an exploding rear end probably wasn't much fun either.

There's this old style hardware store on the other side of town (actually trying to get a job there!) and over the front door they have this huge display of vintage tools. They were kind enough to let me take some photo's. So, it's not a vintage pic per se, but the tools are.

And I already asked - none of it is for sale, only display purposes.

Great assortment of photos.  The pic of the service truck with the young mechanic through me til I realized the vehicle was a stripped down Fordson tractor.  It has car tire carcases strapped to the steel wheels.     The earlier pic of the girl in coveralls kneeling by the Chevy truck, looks vintage , but in the background is a folded up Black -Decker Workmate, 1970s?  Keep em coming.

Long before I was born we got our electricity from this power plant in Alvin, Texas.
Alvin Electric Generator. This was located where the old Ice House was later. It is now a parking lot for Stantons next to where they have their natural gas sales..
The generator only ran a few hours in the evening after it got dark.

A lot of men came home from WWII addicted to cigarettes. It helped ease the pain, tension, cold/heat, hunger, boredom, and a slew of other issues. Once back home, the Cigarette companies made more profit than ever before.

In my family -- in the 1950s everyone smoked, and so did most of their friends and neighbors.

"Tractor Mounted on 'Stilts' Is Used to Dust and Detassel Corn -     Moving slowly through the sweet-corn fields of California is a weird tractor on stilts. The tractor is used to dust and detassel the high corn. The builder started with a 21-horsepower crawler tractor. He raised the tractor chassis including the motor and transmission so there would be 78 inches of clearance beneath it. Side frames—the 'stilts'—support the tractor in this position. Additional sprockets and links of track were installed on each side. The result is a tractor that rolls through the high corn, dusting and detasseling it even during wet weather when rubber-tired tractors bog down in the mud. It has 6-1/2 feet clearance and straddles two rows of corn while dusting 12. A framework across the back holds the dusting equipment. During detasseling, men ride on hangers dropped down between the rows alongside the tractor." From Popular Mechanics, Sept. 1954

90 ton Ruston dragline, there were two of these on the Waihou River job in the North Island of NZ. They worked one on either side of the river. After that job finished they were dismantled and went to the Sukkor Barrage, a huge canal project in India (now Pakistan).

Tracks were often used on steeper grades where a rubber tired tractor would tend to slide and scratch downhill. The high clearance is for tall crops such as vegetables.

The bike with the SBC must have been a blast to ride. wasn't going far with no radiator but it would sure get there fast. Looks like a 3X2 intake as well.

Very interesting. Looks like it must have been a 1/4 miler. Not much fuel in that little tank and I don't see a headlight. Interesting exhaust system. The center carb must have been plated off - no room under the frame.

I noticed how he was dressed as well. It may have been the norm then. I saw some pix of a machine shop from the teens and the workers had on ties.

Muddy, cost of the mover was $2500, 1973 .    Power company half of that.  Friend moved his 5 years ago, with permits, was all of 10,000.  He already owned the house and farm it was moved to.  Was also a 15 mile move thru mostly farm country.  I understand through urban areas it is much higher.

WAS THIS WHAT THEY MEANT BY "A LONG COOL LEOPARD'?

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200125/5198860e79dd40f8e8b82dcddfa34abb.jpg)

From Gisborne Photo News No 181 16th July 1969
"How would you like this in your backyard? It is the new Mercedes Benz tanker to carry beer from Hastings to Gisborne for Leopard Breweries. The complete unit is the largest carrier of draught beer in the country and was specially built for the Wairoa and Gisborne delivery aea. It has capacity of 4,600 gallons, the equivalent of three normal size tankers. The unit is 59 feet 4 inches long, has a maximum permitted weight of 36 tons and is supported by 26 wheels (12 doubles and 2 singles). It has built in refrigeration which enables the beer to be held at a constant temperature for several days if necessary. The driver's cab is fully air-conditioned and contains two bunks, draw curtains, blinds on the windows, reading lamp, head rests, shaving point etc. Beer is transferred to smaller tankers for local delivery, under pressure and all compartments are filled at the same time. Total cost was approximately $50,000. The driver is Ken Burgess."

From the comments on the source website, not the best beer of the day!

Still, must have been popular to need a delivery vehicle of that size. By popular I mean cheap.

In the days before kegs, all brands of beer was delivered to pubs in NZ by tanker, probably up to the late 70s early 80s. I can remember a mate of Dad's parking the Dominion Breweries tanker he drove outside our beach house and coming in for lunch one Christmas holidays.

"The rear and sides of the turrets of a German Tiger I were formed from a single piece of armour plate, bent into a horseshoe shape,  This had the advantage of avoiding any joints, which might form a weak point,  but required specialised heavy duty equipment,  Openings for the rear escape hatch and pistol ports were machined into it later."

That would be an early Ford T with the firewall and top of the trans removed.  The oval gas tank is one clue, the lever is the one used  on a 1914 or later T.

Me too! It was a ritual in my family that when the new models came out in late summer/early fall , Dad and I (sometimes with Grandpa) would go and see the new models. Local Chevy, Ford, and Chrysler dealers used to dedicate one weekend as family day, and provided hot dogs, ice cream and pop corn when they received their first deliveries. It was quite a good time. Dad bought a 1962 Corvair during one of those visits.

Lol!  Always place the biggest/newest units closer to the camera.  Those JD with steel wheels have no spikes bolted on yet.  Fresh off the train to the dealer.

I used to know model and year details to most JD two poppers.  Alas, it is gone.

That Co-op trike with the sickle bar and other attachment was an economy model utility tractor.  Most had a Continental four with a snap magneto and they were a bit underpowered for the day.  Sold through local co ops in the Midwest for about a decade, then faded into sheds as more powerful units became common.  Why pull a one bottom plow when a three bottom got you to dinner earlier?

Pickfords Heavy Haulage at Darlington Forge. Amazingly Pickfords haulage can be traced all the way back to 1646 when Thomas Pickford started moving large goods via horse and carriage. Moving on to 1920's with this picture of a Scammell tractor unit where we can see one of only two of the worlds first 100 ton road going means of haulage, taking another of the many components via road likely to Middlesbrough or Newcastle Docks.

Is that "ringleader -- Mr. Schallmo" your grandpa that you mentioned in the other thread TM? Pretty cool!
Like many men of the time, they may not have been big of stature, but life and work probably made them tough as spring steel.

My greatgrandpa worked in a quarry as a mason. He was skinny as a rail until the day he passed, but he could do extreme manual labor in the hottest/coldest and dirtiest of environments, and lift tremendous loads for 10 hours a day. Unimaginable these days --

If that is a 500 series KW, that could be the one where the customer furnished a Hall-Scott V-12 for the engine. A driver in Oregon spec'd that truck and he hauled a gasoline tanker in the mountains of OR. It looks like H-S valve covers.

In a search of Hall-Scott V-12 engines I found several images of that truck. Oh yeah, that truck burned in a crash while hauling gasoline.

Stunning ……. Looking at this and thinking about current events .   


This is a very touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT Photo-shopped, it's real.

 

 

Notice in the opening shot of the plane landing on the carrier deck the gunner's position is all shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.  Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then shows the chaplain saying final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and this patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into   the sea.

 
This is what 18 to 24 year old "boys" were doing from 1942 to 1945. (Half of them not even old enough to vote.)

 

This 2 minute video is pretty moving.  Worth your while.  "What actually made this country great is ordinary people like this  doing extraordinary things ."

Campbell's Mill, Akatarawa - Nattrass Rail Tractor, built in New Zealand in 1923 and only the second manufactured from a design patented by race car driver, car salesman, and inventor Howard Nattrass, who was the winning driver of the 1921 New Zealand Motor Cup.
In November 1924 Nattrass was granted the patent for his rail tractors using Fordson farm tractor engines and transmissions, or V8 Cadillac. The Nattrass was a simple, lightweight machine, available at an affordable price which allowed sawmillers to expand their operations into areas previously inaccessible with horse teams.
According to the description on the photo, the Nattrass will perform on a ".... bush tramway with severe curves and grades up to 1" in 5' 6"...."
The rail tractor is shown hauling a log that has part of its length obscured behind a cutting and bend in the line. The hidden end of the log is supported by a log bogie in tow.

USS Okinawa, a US Navy amphibious assault ship, unloaded A4 Skyhawks for the RNZAF at Auckland in May 1970.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200702/5122396e45837a7f20c1ef3c40b233ae.jpg)

They were then towed 15 miles to Whenuapai (RNZAF Base Auckland) by road, a slow and tricky process, with trolley bus overhead cables and various other obstacles on the roads, but by evening all the aircraft had arrived safely.

This picture is not dated, it is of The Brooklyn Rapid Recking tool car. Brooklyn Rapid Tranist 1896-1923. It’s a glass negative which explains the crystal clear shot. It’s so clear you could smell the car, look at this tools...you know who ever used those tools, treated them as if he owned them personally. You could eat off that floor.

A German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen (Nş504 "Schnuck") of Abteilung 2.
Captured by the New Zealand Division at Frémicourt, Nord-Pas-de-Calais on the 31 August 1918 (photo taken 18/9/18).

The A7V had a crew of 18 men and was powered by two 100hp Daimler engines. It was armed with one 57mm Gun and six machine guns.

"Schnuck" was displayed in London on Horse Guards Parade in 1918/19 and given to the Imperial War Museum in 1919 but disposed of in 1922 with only the main gun kept.

(Nb. "Schnuck" was a Hybrid, combining the vehicles Nş504 and Nş544)

In some ways the A7V was a better tank than the British Mark IV, it had two engines which gave it more power and a top speed of 8 mph (12km/h) and was protected by 30 mm (1 3/16 inch) armour. In other ways, however, it was inferior: its high centre of gravity made it somewhat unstable over rough terrain and it could only traverse trenches under 6 feet (1.82 meters) across. The Germans did not have a lot of confidence in their own tanks, only about 20 A7V's were built, and they preferred to use captured Mark IV's. In fact the German army was so enamoured with the British Mark IV tank that the High Command ordered a German tank to be built based on the Mark IV design, which gave birth to the A7V/U. It had all-round tracks like the British machine, but kept all the internal components of the old A7V. Still, only a prototype was ever built. [Colourised photo]

The cashier brings back many good memories. My family shopped at a local Grand Union super market and for comfort they provided rotating chairs for their cashiers. I recall in the early 60's being fascinated by the speed and accuracy of one older woman sitting on a chair and just blowing through the groceries without ever looking at the register. She was definitely faster than the scan technology we use these days. It truly was an amazing sight to behold. Over half a century later I still remember that old lady "killing it" on that machine.

I worked as a stocker/carryout guy at the local IGA while in high school and saw the same thing with the checkers.  A memory that sticks in mind was when the power went out one day and she pulls a crank from a drawer, inserts it in the side of the register and continues to check the customer out as she cranks it after every item.

And of course the TV (TopValue) stamps to go with it.

I used to stop at the bridge and fill my water jugs from the Little Wolf river every workday.    I had to or the Buick was going to be dry and very hot halfway home.

The car was worth 50 bucks, a radiator and water pump about 300.  In the following spring it got sold as parts netting me about 400 bucks.  Great car, it paid for the next 3 I bought.

That was a huge landyacht design. The fender skirts alone weighed a ton -- LOL

Schooner-rigged scow the "Kauri" built by Alex Duthie in 1889 photographed in Auckland in August 1904. Railway Terminus Hotel (right, distance), Mechanics Bay (centre), and Parnell (left). Hundreds of these flat bottomed sailing scows traded around the coast from the 1870s to the 1920s.  Some had engines installed and lasted into the 1950s. "Kauri" is, ironically, loaded with kauri logs.

Another NZ/US WWII connection.

Middlemore was built as a military hospital when the Second World War moved closer to home in the Pacific. After the war, it became part of the Auckland Hospital Board. By 1961 the obstetric block had been built, and in construction was the Galbraith block. It was completed in 1964 and named after board secretary, Ray Galbraith.

Seeing that train car load of square body Chevys made me think of our buddy K5.  Been hanging out with him often lately, he is doing well and starting to wrench a bit.  He volunteers at the Stewartstown Railroad Museum working on support equipment, the John Brown, a WW II liberty ship and still conducts a bit for the B&O railroad museum

The old theater on Sealy Street in Alvin, Texas. Our neighbor , Soccoro Garcia was the projectionist in the 60's. His son, Sam and I once worked there cleaning the theater for $12 each, every two weeks, along with free movies and popcorn.

Wow, looks like the theater I grew up going too.  Must have been standard architecture.  The local arts center took it over probably 20 years ago or more and restored it and repurposed it.  Not only movies but has a stage for plays or bands.  A gallery upstairs too.  Gets used a lot till covid.

Where I grew up as a kid there was an A&P close to our house, and it was a great grocery store. People working there actually knew you by your first and last names because families had been shopping there for a generation. Pretty amazing to think that there used to be a time like that in our recent past.

Reminds me of an old body/paint man I used to work for as a young man.He never wore a respirator when spot paining with lacquer or spraying primer. He just stuffed some Vaseline up his nose and went in the paint booth. Did that job for almost 50 years, and lived into his early 80's -- a ripe old age for older body/paint guys of that vintage.

All the neighbors over for the husking bee.  The 4 row cultivator, on the F20 Farmall must of been a real bear to lift manually and turn around,  plus they added a homebrew gas tank for extended range.   Nice little Studebaker coupe under the logs, about  a 1947?   Great pics.

The cattle trucks and Nixon feeds sign was taken in South Omaha, Nebraska.  The large building in the background is the Livestock Exchange building, in the middle of the stockyards, once the worlds largest livestock market.  That building is the only thing remaining of those stock yards. Been in the Exchange building,  and went with my dad to deliver hogs to the stockyards.

Very nice group, the tow trucks are real interesting.  Got to point out a couple of neat things, the Dodge with the A - P repairs, has a WWII bomb carrier, which were used as makeshift wreckers.  Place I worked at had one.  The military looking truck with EclipseMotors on the side was a Chevrolet.  Many were given to the allies, and not many in the US.

There are still plenty of those Chevrolet 15CWT trucks still around. This one from the local military vehicle collectors club at an event in November.

It appears to be. I've seen several bus based tow trucks in old photos of bus depots, particularly British ones.

Something a bit more modern, from the 1980's.

One of Doug Hood Contractors Toyota Hilux after Baker Contactors Hough 560 Loader backed over it. Being a Hilux it was still drivable and was able to drive onto the salvage trailer. Bondi, the operator, was more worried about his toolbox. On the Clyde Dam site in the Cromwell Gorge.

"A DIFFICULT ENGINEERING TASK: “TURING-UP”
THE STEEL CRANK SHAFT OF THE S.S. MATAI. One of the most difficult engineering jobs yet attempted at Port Chalmers was the “Turning-up'' of the steel crank shaft of the Union Steam Ship Company's S.S. Matai by Messrs Stevenson and Cook. The shaft was 21ft long, with a diameter of 16in and weighed 21 tons. To assist the big lathe to bear this weight, specially cast columns had to be placed beneath the crank to prevent any possibility of sagging.

A couple more at Devonport. 1912 and 1980's just before the wharf shed in both photos was demolished. The Kestrel was a double ended steam ferry built in 1905 with a propeller and a rudder at each end. She was re-engined with a Crossley HRL 6 diesel engine in 1951. The engine had to be stopped and started in the opposite rotation to get reverse, resulting in several instances of her crashing into the wharf at Devonport or at the Ferry Building in downtown Auckland. She was retired in 1988 then undertaking cruises and sightseeing. She was the last of the originally steam double enders to work on Auckland Harbour.

In 2002 the Kestrel was moved here to Tauranga to serve as a floating restaurant. The Kestrel changed hands again in 2010 and moved back to Auckland. In March 2016 the Kestrel broke up and sank while tethered in its Wynyard Quarter berth. She was refloated, but I suspect she will not sail again.

That little chest had everything you needed to completely rebuild that little tractor.

Title: Re: Vintage Photo Of The Day
Post by: Rural53 on July 15, 2021, 03:37:17 AM
It is the WW1 German battlecruiser SMS Derfflinger. Launched in July 1913, she was scuttled along with the majority of the German High Seas Fleet on 21 June 1919 while interned at the Royal Navy's base at Scapa Flow. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuttling_of_the_German_fleet_at_Scapa_Flow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuttling_of_the_German_fleet_at_Scapa_Flow).
The ship was raised in 1939 and was anchored, still capsized, off the island of Risa until 1946, at which point the ship gained the dubious distinction of having spent more time afloat upside down than she had right way up. Derfflinger was then sent to Faslane Port and broken up for scrap by 1948. The story of Ernest Cox and his Cox & Danks Shipbreaking Co., that successfully raised 35 ships of the German Imperial Navy High Seas Fleet between 1924 and 1931 is incredible.

New Zealand built Price 16-wheeler. The 16-wheeler was a copy of several designs, the concept coming from the earlier Johnston 16-wheeler but using skew bevel gears based on the Climax A. Four 16-wheelers were constructed by A&G Price Ltd in Thames, the first one in 1912 and they lasted in service until 1951.

Wow -- those were the days! I wasn't yet born when the post WWII hot rod boom was starting, but I was lucky enough to experience the hay day of the mid- to late 60s era as a teenager. Growing up in a middle class blue collar neighborhood, it seemed like every household had a car or motorcycle project underway. There were lots of backyard mechanics to watch and learn from in those days. It was a very exciting time to be involved in the car hobby.

Interesting no big driver wheels. Would think it would need major gearing to get anywhere with speed.

54 years ago today, Burt Munro set a land speed record in the under 1000cc class at Bonneville, bringing New Zealand to the centre of the motoring world.

Munro’s record run of 295.453kph still stands to this day.

Anyone looking for a good movie, if you haven’t seen “The Worlds Fastest Indian” , it’s definitely worth watching, with Anthony Hopkins cast as Burt Munro …..

The hot rod with the owner in the leather jacket, has a modified Ford flathead.  I feel those are Ardun heads, engineered by Zora Arkus Duntov, man later to work on the Chevy V8, with the Duntov cam.  Turned the Ford into a overhead valve Hemi engine.  Developed to boost the HP of Ford truck engines and cooling,  then hot rodders found them.   Believe the leather wearing owner is Ed Iskendrian, builder of the Isky camshafts, famous with hot rodders.  The photo of the 64 Chevy engines is nice,  I recall a sweeter time when all chevy engines were Orange.  The initial "Z",  from Zora, was later used on the Z-28 Camaro, also because of John Z. Delorean, a GM Vice president at the time.  Before he built the stainless steel car. Dang, did more searching, those cyl heads were Iskendrians own,  the car still exists.  Did find more info on the Ardun heads.

Great info John, thanks. Didn't even pay attention to the heads, but do know Zora and his brother's history in developing the heads. Even today, there is a huge demand for Ardun (s/f Arkus Duntov) reproduction heads. I've also never seen the Iskenderian heads on a hot before  -- great info. The pics must be immediately post WWII because all the pics I've ever seen of Ed were in his later years with his typical hat and cigars.

My Mother and her little sister a long time ago. It would have been my Mother's birthday yesterday. It was my aunt's birthday today (at five my Mother was impressed that she got a little sister for her birthday, even if she was a day late). My aunt lives in Fiji so I rang and talked to her for a while this afternoon.

The Pan Am Curtiss C-46 Commando that the cars are being loaded into was bought war surplus by PAA in 1946. Pan Am used them for freight mainly to the Caribbean and South America. The derelict airplane is intact and is owned by Charles Nichols and is sitting in the storage yard at Yanks Air Museum at Chino Airport in Calif.

New Zealand built Price 16-wheeler. The 16-wheeler was a copy of several designs, the concept coming from the earlier Johnston 16-wheeler but using skew bevel gears based on the Climax A. Four 16-wheelers were constructed by A&G Price Ltd in Thames, the first one in 1912 and they lasted in service until 1951.
Interesting no big driver wheels. Would think it would need major gearing to get anywhere with speed.

It is a logging locomotive designed to haul heavy loads up steep inclines, around tight bends on temporary railway lines to extract log out of the forest. They probably never ran more than 5 to 7 miles an hour. Lots of companies in the US built geared locomotives for the logging industry.

Below
1. Price 16 drawing
2. Climax A
3. Later Climax with the more familiar inclined cylinders

4. Hieslier with the cylinders inclined to directly drive the main drive shaft
5. Shay with offset boiler and vertical cylinders
6. Logging bridge. If you search Kinsey logging photos you will find lots of period photos taken by the Kinsey brothers

I was in the pattern one time when a B-36 was on final and the pilot announced xxxxxx on final, 6 churning and 4 burning.  If you remember, they tried to increase the airspeed of them by adding 4 J47 jet engines, the same engines that were on the B-47.  And, that created mess, as now the same aircraft needed Aviation gas and jet fuel.

Quite an experience CM, and what a time that must have been to be an USAF strategic bomber crew member. CONVAIR did their job on that bomber. IIRC it was the only bomber capable of flying almost 1i,000 miles with a full payload and without refueling. That was an extraordinary engineering achievement at the time.

I would of hated to have to change all 336 spark plugs on those six 28 cylinder engines. The biggest problem with the J-47 turbo jet engines was since they ran on the avgas, they consumed a lot of fuel in use and significantly reduced the range.

A Kettenschiff (chain ship) on the Neckar, a tributary of the Rhine, near Heilbronn in southern Germany, circa 1885.

Actually saw one of those in action in Germany. They demonstrated the design on a rebuilt museum ship. It was a popular mode of transport in Germany. The shipping company would sink a large heavy chain into the rivers. Some segments were many miles long, and a steam engine would provide the rotary power to grab the chain and pull the ship upstream. Same motive principle as the cable cars in San Francisco, except the chain was stationary and the ship provided the power.

Cool building, but the article states that it had a trap door and spiral staircase down to a much larger storage and office area underground. Too bad the family lost it after WWII. The museum in town rebuilt the original above ground station as a display. What a great idea!

Trying to get out of this funk, so I'm not so sluggish when I return to work. Did a few loads of laundry, cleaned my basement work shop, and got the next big project on the workbench. Didn't even take an afternoon nap :))

The GTO's!   I was 15, older sisters boy friend shows up with a new 66 GTO, tri power 389, 4 speed, tossed me the keys.  I had been driving a Ford with a flhead six,  could drive to school at 14 then.  Took it a mile down the highway, never wanted to give it back.   2 years later, another boy friend, 67 GTO, 4 spd.  Same run down the highway,  lets say it ruined me for anything less.  Which led me owning too many fast cars, and driving them hard.  Memories.

So true! It was the only US produced muscle car I ever longed for. John DeLoren may have gone off the rails later on in life, but at that point in time he had the keenest insight into mass market automotive design and performance at GM. He had the same vision for Pontiac as did Edsel Ford for Lincoln a few decades earlier. Sadly both of them were stifled in their creativity by their respective corporate bureaucracies.

This little tumble scraper - scoop was 1 of Bill Hamiltons early developments (CWF Hamilton) Bill brought Irishman Creek Station in MacKenzie country a 10,000 hectare block in 1921 & quickly set about building a workshop & dam for a hydro electric plant to power the farm & workshop, when they started they found digging out the ground was tough work so Bill built 1 of these to make it easy which it did, now back then this was cutting edge, others heard about it & next thing Bill is making them for Contractors, Councils & Government, he marketed them as I.C. Excavators even sold a licence to a British manufacturer to build them & this happened during the depression, this was the start of many years of earthmoving machinery development & production, in 1939 Bill started CWF Hamilton & in 1948 operations were relocated to a 10 hectare site in Christchurch & now made the workshop at Irishman Creek clear which Bill turned into his R & D shop & out of that in 1954 came the Hamilton Jet Boat powered by a 100E Prefect engine, Bill never said he invented anything! Just Perfected It

Looks like a 36 DeSoto from the bumper, but the bottles in the Esso tote have plastic caps, which dates them to the 70s or newer.  I got a  feeling the photo might be from one of the low-rider magazines, where tattooed ladies abound, some in vintage clothes and hairstyles.

Love those old vehicles.

Picture of my Dad at about 6 years old with Grandma on a trip from Wisconsin to Washington DC along the National Highway probably in western Maryland in or about 1937.

Now who can identify the make and model of the vehicle in the background?

Quick glance and some google searches suggest it is a 1936,  Hudson or Dodge,  just cant see enough of the grille.  1936 is the year many manufacturers switched from a flat windshield to a divided glass.

I grew up around a Texaco station just like the one in the picture. Everything was painted red, white or green. Except the wall in the office that had the old guys poker debts on it. I dont think anyone ever paid off on those debts, but "write it on the wall" was the common phrase for the day... Good times for a preteen kid. Wish I still had some of the swag they gave me over the years. :021:

While in high school I worked at an Atlantic Richfield station which became an ARCO later. We had 2 drive thru bays and only 1 had the lift. We got to scrub the bays, aprons and islands every evening with the cleaner/soap and water before we left.

That loaded Santa Fe Trail Stage car had to have been a rough ride in those days. The road from Socorro NM to Springerville AZ goes through some desolate territory. I drove that route on Hwy 60 several times. The only thing of interest is the huge radio-telescopes of the Very Large Array there in NM. They can move those huge satellite dishes on railroad tracks to re-configure the array for different searches.
I drove all those 2 lane roads of western NM and eastern AZ and they are desolate in areas and beautiful forest in some areas.

Wow, the Spruce Goose  on the move!   The Pontiac assembly line was so clean, and  the guided tour,  no one wearing safety glasses!   When the lawyers and liability rules shut down factory tours we lost a lot of knowledge.  Best part of my schooling were the plant tours, saw shock absorbers, valves, potato chips, bread, even Hostess Twinkies being made, just not on the same day.

And they are still on the road. B-52H 61-0009 is on the move from Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson (AZ), on Jan. 4, 2022. The bomber began her next journey to Oklahoma where she will become the test bed for research and modernization for the B-52 fleet.  The left wing and fuselage will eventually be relocated to a Boeing facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where it will serve as an integration model.

LOL - that AMOCO pic brings back some memories because when I was a kid many local gas stations had one or two outside lifts. I could never find out exactly what the reasoning behind that business model was. Whether it had to do with expansion issues, property taxes (i.e., smaller building less taxes), etc., but there were quite a lot of them in my area. I do know that one local station put in a heavy service lift to accommodate larger vehicles and mid-sized trucks.

True, they are rare these days. Looking at the pic it seems that Phil's AMOCO doesn't have an enclosed service facility and he opted to put the lift outside. Maybe that was the convention back then when smaller gasoline filling stations added mechanical services to their business model.

They're still around Tim. In fact there's one in the next town over from where i live. I filled up there just last week. That said, it's not the "old" American Oil, but rather a BP brand subsidiary. Still, it does my heart good to see the old Red/White/Blue flaming oval again.

Looking at those Sinclair station pics reminds of a GJ thread. Wasn't there a guy over there who bought an old Sinclair building and totally restored it to its former glory? He was considered a hero in that town because so many people had such fond memories of that station. IIRC They even performed weddings in the newly restored building.

Thanks Tim -- excellent detective work on your part! That guy did an amazing job with that place. You can plainly see that it's a true passion.

I cant tell y'all how many times we painted those fuel islands at the Texaco. We weren't allowed to have any tire scuffs on them. At least once a month they got painted. mostly by me.LOL

Great memories I'm sure when looking back from today's perspective. How many kids would do such grunt work in a gas/service station these days? I learned a lot as a kid from those places.

All great pics, but cant say if I like the Sinclair station or the Texaco shot more, seeing a new tire wrapped in paper, the lady in white gloves and heels, the architecture of the white Sinclair building, how many spotted the 55 Chevy with the shaved trunk?

Did not notice the 55 or the shaved trunk.  Didn't even know that was a thing back then.

 Dechroming was a thing by '63 already.  The real trick thing for the Chevys was putting on a station wagon bumper, it had the indent for the plate.  What was fun was watching  the new pump jockey try to find the gas filler on a '57 Chevy.

I did that work in a Shell station as part of my pump duties BITD and I'm sure it was on Shell's checklist for a properly maintained location.

Missing over the GOM in 1969. Wanna bet it wound up flying for one of our letter agencies in SE Asia?

What do y'all suppose is going on in the engine shop picture. At first I thought they were dynoing but the distributor cap is missing?

What motors are on that dragster?

And is it 2 motors or 4?

Looks like 4 to me.

My first thought was Continental tank motors but that is a guess.  Knew a guy who tractor pulled with them.

I believe those are Allison aircraft engines. Really cheap HP in the post war years. The drag boats ran them for years.

Allison, and 4 of them.

Story goes that they built it but never really ran it because they could never get traction. Not sure how much I believe that.

Those in-ground hydraulic lifts were the standard design for many years. At the first real mechanic's job I ever had my bay had one installed. Tricky things to work with, especially if they were older, and had worn out seals and were leaking oil. --

Absolutely -- The good thing was that my parents supported my interests and let me hang out there as long as I wasn't a nuisance.

BTW Phil, remember back in the day when gas stations used to give out drinking glass tumblers when you filled up with premium? My mother had a cupboard full of them.

Heck yeah pep! My parents were all about green stamps. We still own a card table that my wife’s grandmother bought with her booklets of S&H stamps. My first boy scout knife and tent were bought with green stamps. Ahhh - life was a lot simpler then.

Really like the boom for the air hose.  Have never seen one before.  Couldn't imagine what that costs back in the day and how much it would fetch today

Butcher shops in the pre refrigeration days,  butcher would be up at 3AM,  so the fresh meat would be ready at 8AM.   
On hot days one needed to get there early.    I sure miss gas stations like the Texaco, and the 57 chevy 210, like I had.

The cats with log skidders was pretty interesting, especially the where the log was too heavy?   The white Mustangs,  Shelbys garage?  And no hoists?  Exhaust mods on the ground are no fun.   I am curious, all those moving vans,  moving in or out?  Down front looks like a guy carrying a chair in,  and rather looks like government housing.

The big Olds Toronados,yup.  Had enough of them apart, very stout beasts, note, the RH axle 1/2 shaft goes thru the oil pan.

Those look like 350 or 403 smallblock heads so may be 1977 Toro.

This was post war (WWII). Levittown was probably the biggest built by Levitt & Sons . Not sure if the one in the pic is Levitt or another developer but they were intended as starter homes for returning vets and their families. Because there were a limited number of floor plans and designs the homes went up quickly  and whole streets would be done about the same time.

Good call Steve. That makes perfect sense. Housing was in short supply, and these houses were built right on a slab and were up in just a few days. My old neighborhood where I grew up was the same. Three bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths and about three/four floorplan options for the entire neighborhood.

LOL -- great pic Tim. That cigar shop looks like the one I used to frequent back in the 1980's. Right down to the Roi-Tan cigar display. The shop had the same décor for well over five decades, and although it never sold Van Dyck cigars, it did have Suerdieck cigars as their house brand (also now long gone). According to their website, Van Dyck was an early 20th century brand from General Cigar Co. Hence, that shop photo must be 1920's/30's vintage.

The smell in that shop must have been fantastic. -- well at least to a cigar fan.

He still raising it. Thats where the controls were. Those were pretty cool lifts. That one looks like it grabbed the axles to lift it. There is a track in the floor that runs the rear lift forward and backwards to get under the axle. Had one at the stealership I worked at back in the 80s.

Nice hoist, but took your full concentration, as one could get a vehicle going up at a 45 degree angle, very dangerous, the posts were controlled independant of one another.  Sure like all the new car pics, but they make one aware of the passage of time.

Yes Yuengling relaunched the ice cream in 2013. It was locally made by Libeys in Tamaqua (about 16 miles north of the brewery and original dairy) in 2017 it manufacturing was moved to a company in Johnstown Pa.

2019 a Aureus Inc. (A Georgia based company) bought Yuengling Ice cream from Yuengling and is still producing it in Johnstown.

Good eye! That is Henry Clay! Erected in 1855, in his honor. He imposed tariffs on foreign coal and steel.  This building in on centre street, Pottsville Pa. Pottsville is the county seat, of Schuylkill County (the county I was born and raised). Northern Schuylkill was (and still is) a major source of anthracite coal. Therefore Clay's tariffs we're very helpful to the area, in keeping local jobs, and economy going.

That is a mid-1940s International TD 18 crawler tractor hauling more than 20 sleighs of pulp wood for the Great Northern Pulp & Paper Company. Before i/c engines there was steam.

Those steam crawlers pulled tons of logs, and really didnt have much for brakes.   The steersman sat out front, signalling the engineer with the whistle.  Many times the hills were too steep, the crew could only jump for their lives, before the rig enbedded itself in the trees.  Plus being a steamer, low man had to keep the fire going all night during the north woods winter, oh fun.

 More great service stations.  28 cents in 1960 was a bit high, I remember driving right past stations with 26 cent gas in 1968..  Surely there would be 24 cents just down the street.  Anybody remember when every new tire was wrapped?  Remember wading through yards of wrap in the 60s, then suddenly by 1975 the tires were shipped naked!

Girls usually liked those cars from afar; up and until they had to ride in them for extended periods. Driving a sports car in those days was a double edged sword. In the summer they were hot and sticky (most had no AC), and most girls hated to be in those cars when it was hot, humid and gross. Then in the winter the thin vinyl rag top made it very cold while the anemic heaters/blowers could never make the cars comfortably warm.

In '82 I traded in my last MGB for a Chevrolet Camaro. It had a V8, T-Tops, AC, great stereo, cruise control, 5 speed manual, and most of all --- it was reliable. Now THAT was a car that girls really enjoyed to be driven in.

That Greyhound bus pic is pretty enlightening. Can you imagine making a trip from the east to west coast on one of those buses? ... and on the roads of that time?

In 1919 the US sent an expedition across the U.S. to see what difficulties would be encountered. It took 62 days to travel the 3200 miles from Washington D.C. to San Francisco (technically to Oakland - the convoy ferried across San Francisco bay to the city of San Francisco). The named Motor Transport Corps convoy included a young brevet Lieutenant Colonel named Dwight D. Eisenhower. The convoy was an expedition to determine the necessity of a better system of roads and a uniform set of road standards.

What the expedition found was a ragtag collection of roads, unpaved roads, trails, dirt and dust roads, questionable bridges and other obstacles. Coupled with poorly trained and prepared troops and logistics the convoy uncovered more than the planners bargained for. They averaged less than 52 miles/day.

As President, Eisenhower was a proponent of the interstate highway system partly as a way to evacuate large cities, partly in response to his experience in 1919, partly as a means of moving military convoys and partly because he saw the success of the Autobahns Hitler had built in Germany.

The interstates were not Eisenhower's idea work started in the 20's but he did make an impact (pun sort of intended) on the progress of the system in the 1950's.

I think that bus would have been a lot better ride than that convoy.

The photo is from Australia. It is a tandem tractor made by joining two early Lanz Bulldogs together. I've seen lots of these, in photos, and a couple in the flesh but not one built from Lanz Bulldogs before. Note the tyres, they have 'overcovers'. It’s an old tyre of a bigger size with the beads cut out and then you squeeze the smaller tyre inside before you put it on the rim. It helped with preventing punctures in freshly cleared land, particularly in "mallee" country where clearing trees of eucalypt species left pieces of timber that could spear tyres.

The Bulldogs are unusual, tandems usually look more like this (2 x Ford 5000s)
 (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220712/522c060386bc3f3c47294ae50203cbca.jpg)

During the 1950s farmers in the United Kingdom in need of high-power tractors had few options. Farmer George Pryor developed an ingenious solution to the problem by creating his own tractor. He did this by purchasing two Fordson tractors, removing the front wheels and axles and linking the two by means of a turntable which provided the steering action powered by hydraulic rams. This left him with a double-engined four-wheel—drive tractor capable of producing more power and outperforming any of the conventional tractors on the UK market at the time. DOE Engineering then started producing these commercially, about 300 in total. The photo above of the tandem Ford 5000s is a DOE 130 (130hp). Below is one of their first model, base on the Fordson Super Major.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220712/4fb4cf7936fc75273822cbb769d93064.jpg)


As well as the factory produced tandems, some farmers built there own. Here is an Australian tandem built from Chamberlain Super 70 Diesels.

The DOE Engineering Company that built the orange bonneted Fordsons Major based tandem was an English company. That particular tractor sold at a collector auction in 2018 for US$55,000, not making the $80-$90,000 expected.

Even the Italians did it.

This week in 1946, HMNZS Achilles left Auckland for the last time. On her return to the Royal Navy on 17 September she was paid off. Achilles then underwent a major refit at Chatham in preparation for her sale to the Royal Indian Navy. She commissioned at Chatham in July 1948 as HMIS Delhi, later becoming INS Delhi from January 1959 when India became a republic. She was formally decommissioned in June 1978, and was sold for breaking up at Bombay (Mumbai) later that year.

She was a Leander class light cruiser launched as HMS Achilles in 1933.  She served with the Royal Navy's New Zealand Division from  March 1937 up to the creation of the Royal New Zealand Navy, into which she was transferred in September 1941 and recommissioned HMNZS Achilles. About 60 per cent of her crew was from New Zealand. She is most is most famous for taking part in the Battle of the River Plate (December 1939). Achilles and Ajax, another 6" gun Leander class cruiser and the 8" gun heavy cruiser Exeter engaged the 11" gun German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee.  Admiral Graf Spee inflicted heavy damage on the British ships, particularly Ajax and Exeter, but she was damaged and was forced to put into port at Montevideo, Uruguay. Convinced by false reports of superior British naval forces gathering, Hans Langsdorff, commander of the ship, ordered the vessel to be scuttled.

I have a minor connection to both ships in the photo. I live in a street named after one of the three ships that engaged the Admiral Graf Spee. The tug in the photo is the Auckland Harbour Board tug William C Daldy. Built in 1935 by Lobnitz & Co., Renfrew, Glasgow, Scotland and steamed to Auckland via the Suez Canal taking 81 days. 127' long with two coal fired Scotch boilers providing steam to two 980iHP triple expansion steam engines. She worked until 1977 when she retired and was sold to the preservation society that still operates her taking harbour cruises. I belonged to the preservation society and crewed on her from the late 80s to the mid 90s until I moved too far away to continue. I worked on the deck for a few years then shifted into the stokehold, on my way to the engine room. It was good, about three years ago, to take a ride and catch up with a few people I knew from the old days and throw some coal. I even got to take the helm when we berthed while the skipper operated the engine telegraphs.

K5Blazer volunteered on the Liberty Ship John Brown.  I took a cruise on it and the triple expansion steam engine was just a marvel to watch.  3 stories tall with and exposed crank shaft and rods.  One guys job was to oil the bearings on the crank as well as other spots on the motor

In the early days of her working life, there were still occasional visits to Auckland by square rigged sailing ships. These would give the 'DALDY some of her longer tows, well out into the Hauraki Gulf. 23 January 1938 with PAMIR in the Rangitoto Channel

In 1958, the WILLIAM C DALDY came to the rescue of the Harbour Bridge construction project. As engineers began manoeuvring a centre section on barges into position, it was caught by winds of up to 40 knots and became uncontrollable. The WILLIAM C DALDY provided a sustained pull for more than 36 hours, holding the 1200 ton, 580 ft long section in position

Well, I guess without the engine and engine support frame, it's just a glider. Probably a softer landing than with all that weight attached to the front of the fuselage.

Except it changed the centre of gravity significantly making it virtually unflyable. Luckily he had the presence of mind to pull full flap that shifted the CofG enough to make it controllable.

Aerial topdressing started in New Zealand after WW2 with surplus Tigermoths carrying 1.5 cwt (170lb). By the mid 50s a couple of companies saw the potential of heavy twins and started converting Lockheed Lodestars to the role, carrying 3.5 ton (7,800 lb), quite a significant increase from the Tigermoth.

When I lived in Gisborne in the late 90s I belonged to the aviation museum as they were completely their building and taking the ex topdressing Lodestar that was the gate guardian at the airport off the poles and under cover for restoration and display.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220825/9c5b70291e94105dd4176cb55340ee9a.jpg)

One of our members had flown this aircraft and later DC3s topdressing. I was just learning to fly at the time and Bruce and I were walking around under the Lodestar the week before it was lifted off the poles, and he was explaining how the slots in the wing tips worked. He then quick nonchalantly said that he had knocked a set off on a tree once when he banked too close to the ground after a spreading run.

my 84 suburban was a nice ride. i was working on the road and it had 100k on it in 2 years. Gave it to my mom and bought an 86 1500 to pull my travel trailer with. Gave up the gypsy lifestyle in 88 and took a local job. The 86 had 186K on it when traded in on a 98 2500. the 98 2500 had 280k on it when sold in 2019 to get the superduty.  The only real issues I ever had with any of them was breaking up the frame on the 86. it was way overworked. stepped up to 2500 chassis and they held up fine.

I really dont expect the superduty to last as long though. Too many gadgets that will do it in eventually.

Its too bad that most of our modern society has never experienced that. During the MAGA craze, one of my 20ish yr old employees asked me when was America great?

With our getting political America has always been great, if you were to pinpoint an era, post war 40s-50s we were the diamond amoung the rough.

The Russian, and later Soviet, icebreaker Yermak was the first polar icebreaker in the world, having a strengthened hull shaped to ride over and crush pack ice up to 2 m thick. She was built in Newcastle upon Tyne by the British company Armstrong Whitworth at its Low Walker yard and launched in 1898. She served in the Baltic during both World Wars. In 1949 on the day of her 50th anniversary Yermak was awarded the Order of Lenin. After that she served another 15 years and in 1964 was decommissioned and dismantled in Murmansk.

That ship had a long run.  Very interesting

The Russians get value for money out of some of their ships. The one that they have got the best bang for their buck is the submarine salvage ship Kommuna that was  laid down at the Putilov Factory in St. Petersburg in November 1912 as Volkhov. The ship was launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 July 1915. She was renamed Kommuna on 31 December 1922. Kommuna has served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federation navies through the Russian Revolution and two World Wars. In April 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ship was deployed after the sinking of the guided missile cruiser Moskva.

An interesting video about her

When the American troops landed here in 1942, to train before the Pacific Campaign, they were issued a booklet on life in New Zealand. This is the cover and contents page. Note the reference how we speak, I thought both nations spoke English.

A real interesting relic Rural. I think similar guides where issued to US govt/military members who visited any allied country. I recall that British citizens had a real problem with the way our mostly blue collar culture soldiers expressed and behaved themselves in Great Britain. Hence the need for education, because it was a culture shock for both sides. After the war, guides were issued to include former Rome-Berlin Axis countries as well. The military also issued some very "spicy" (for the time) booklets on culture specific nuances regarding brothels/prostitutes, sexual norms, and STD precautions/prevention. --

Must have been some VERY interesting reading for many a farm boy draftee from Bible-Belt rural America -- :c029:

I remember that story. Didn't he hide some 30ft (or so) of 1/2" fuel line in the car; which amounted to about 4-5 Gallons of extra fuel storage during a race. Smokey was a genius, and he loved messin' with old Bill France Sr. Smokey usual got the better of Bill in most of their battles.

I like the one about Smokey and his 78 Chevelle.  Rules said No belly pans, so he cut out the floor, rewelded it to the bottom of the sills.  Judges said the roof looked lowered, Smokey looked around, pointed to a "stock" Chevelle in the visitors section.  They measured it, OK.  Only Smokey owned it too,  both cars had lowered roofs!

The Allison team ran into that often. When they were one of the first to put an Allison aircraft engine in a tractor.

Many local pulling clubs/organization would make a rule outlawing more then 6 or 8 cylinder engines. Or limit length of tractor allowed. Still happens today. My friend will show up for an enhanced class, the next year it'll have a no turbo rule because he cleaned house lol.

Oops.
Imagine the size of the machine they used to rescue those machines....


I think some of those recoveries will be done just with jacks and some blocks of wood and lots of patience.

In the ESSO photo, neat Chevy convertible, on the ground by the station door,  is a big red device.   That is the drive unit fir on-the-car wheel balancing.  Sign says free wheel balancing].  I used one similar in 1972, nice because the hub, drum and wheel  got balanced.

good catch on the balancer.  I did see the sign and thought that was a great sales aid

I see those balancers at auctions once in a while.  Rarely bring much but a great idea

One tire store I worked in had a tire matching machine that could shave off bits of tread as the tire rotated to make them perfectly round.  Great idea, never saw it used, doubt anyone knew how because turnover was high

Post by: john k on December 21, 2022, 09:52:50 AM
If one sees one of these balancers come up for sale look for all of it.  The full wheel cover had to come off.   The balancing device had to clamp onto the rim.  In the middle of it is an assenbly with 4 little smooth wheels, 2 for weight 2 for position.  You grasped these lightly while the wheel spun at 40 mph.  There were 3 adaptors, for 13, 14, and 15 inch wheels.  And if you didnt get them positioned correctly, and tight, it could come off, and take off across the shop.  Always felt it was a very accurate balancing method

The gas station pic with the girl pump jockeys is interesting.   Getting briefed on new extinguishers by the  FD.  Looks like 10? pump islands, wow, and this was the late 40s.  Like the big chrome coin dispensers, gas was probably 21 cents, might have had a roll of dollar bills in their shorts.  These days one would need 5's-10's and 20's for change, plus a card swiper.

Ah, the Chrysler turbine car!  The  bodies were built by Ghia of Italy.   Same company that built the Kharman Ghia for VW.  Shipped to the US where the power train was installed.  Looks like a mini assembly  line was set up.  Shame, most had to be destroyed.  What I find interesting is the tranny looks like a Torqueflite.  The turbine turned at very high RPM,  20,000 or maybe more, wondered how they got it down to usable speed.   That Mayflower truck now, what in the world would they have hauled that required  hoisting it up there?   Machinery extra long?  Great pics

Thanks for the info on the turbine. Always thought mother Mopar had a brilliant R&D team.

Not sure about the mayflower, can't see it fitting in much through one of those small doors.

Stegmaier Beer, the pic of the Chevy wagon,  1953,  must of been running real well.  In the background is a 54 olds, behind that is a 62Valiant,  long time for inner city delivery work.   The 1961 Chevy assembly line is neat.  I never worked assembly line anything, butan 8 hour shift putting body bolts overhead would be rough in my book.   Always enjoy the gas station pics.

The middle picture is interesting. You rarely see a gallon sized oil can. Even back in the day it was not very common. Oil was either pulled from the bulk drum, or off the shelf in single quart cans.

When I worked in the 66 station in the mid 70's, we had gallon cans of Phillips Trop-Artic oil.  IIRC, kind of a pain to use.
Title: Re: Vintage Photo Of The Day
Post by: The Magic Ratchet on January 16, 2023, 05:29:20 PM
If I'm not mistaken, the Veedol can is actually 5 quarts. The gasoline companies made single oil change size cans available for their gas stations. Cars of the 40's and early 50's usually took 5 quarts plus one for the oil filter. With the brief oil change intervals back then, it was common to change the oil filter every other oil change. In the later 50's, when crankcases were reduced to 4 + 1, the oil companies started making one gallon cans. I don't remember how long they lasted but we still had some in stock when we closed my dad's Esso station in 1965. They were metal cans and the fill openings on the engines were pretty accessible so the spout pictured worked really well. Sometimes we would punch a small screwdriver hole in the opposite side of the top for a vent. Those old cars could take oil as fast as you could pour it in.

That verticle car, definitely an auto oiling system, like the Bijur system offered on luxury cars of the 30s.  I cant really ID  the car.  Front half looks like 1955 Lincoln,  side trim is custom?   Steering linkage looks rather Ford.   The shop looks factory ish, but no tool box, work bench.  Huge windows  look rather factory like.  That little car reminds me of a Borg-Ward.

I had a 1959 'Borg-Ward' (fast wagon, I think) in college, like the one pictured below.

I blame that little car for starting me out on my many adventures and mis-adventures with cars.

In one long college summer, to resurrect it from my parents garage/tomb, it eventually needed:
-cracked exhaust manifold welded
-head gasket replaced
-seat covers restitched, leather
-brake system rebuild including brakes relined, new were NA
-IRS replaced
-gas tank strap replaced

I was working 2 jobs at the time, but when it finally rolled/drove out of the garage and down the street on it's own power, I felt like Louis Chevrolet.

That last picture with the two guys sitting in picture reminded me of the old salvage yard in Warrensburg Missouri where I went to college in the 1980's. The yard, long gone years ago was a very old salvage yard with a garage/shop that looked 1930-1940. There were tons of NOS parts on shelves well organized in the back of the shop. Behind the counter was a big old wood stove and a few old ratty chairs and stools strewn around the stove. I liked stopping there in the cold fall and winter months to just sit around that wood stove and jaw with the owner and his son who on the cold days would usually be found not far from that stove if there were  no customers. I always felt like I was stepping back in time every time I walked into that shop, but especially during the winter when I was setting around that old wood burning stove.

Definitely King Midgets, 1960s.  1 cyl. Kohler, elec, start.  Bungee cord spring suspension.  12 inch tires.  Sold thru tiny ads in Mechanix Illustrated magazine.   Folded in 1973 when they couldnt add 5mph bumpers, etc.  Got to ride in a new one, not as good a ride as a modern side by side 4-wheeler.

That farmstead, late 1940s.  The JD tractor is an unstyled 1930s,  the front wheels were steel, but were converted to rims and rubber tires, the back wheels came off a 1940sJD.   This would have been a flywheel start, no electrics.  They did invest in a modern disk and 2-row lister, the rest is all horse drawn equipment.  Still driving a Ford model A coupe, an old car by then.  Electricity still hadnt arrived, no wires to the house,  which is up off the ground to let the skunks and racoons underneath.  Pretty bare bones living.  Surprised there arent chickens in the yard.

Notice the left rear tire on the Model A, that is a belt pulley éfor running some piece of equipment on the farm.

It is on the internet so it must be true...

 

"The Miracle"
It’s the Untold story of how a Mexican mechanic saved Ferrari.

In 1950, the Pan American Race emerged. One of the most demanding endurance races in history that tested the best cars and the most experienced and daring drivers of the time.

Umberto Maglioli in his Ferrari 375 Plus was leading the fourth and final stage of the race. Shortly before finishing stage four, his car began to fail. His Ferrari 375 Plus had an oil leak through a hole in the carter.

In the middle of nowhere and without a spare part for this vital part of the car, hopes of finishing the race were practically nil.
On the fifth leg of the race and when the car was practically about to stop working, Umberto Maglioli made a stop in the middle of the road when he saw a small workshop called “El Milagro”.

Maglioli was received by Renato Martinez who was the owner and sole mechanic of the workshop in the middle of nowhere. Renato Martinez confirmed to Maglioli that it was in fact an oil leak in the crankcase and that he had a "creative" solution to repair it in moments. At least to be able to finish their journey.

Renato Martinez caught a bucket and a big bar of soap. He also took three small bottles of Coca-Cola and gave them to Maglioli saying, "While you drink this Coke I will repair your car."

An Unbeliever Maglioli could only sit, drink the coke and wait for a miracle. Meanwhile, Renato Martinez dismantled the Ferrari and using the bar of soap began to gradually rub the carter with it. By friction the soap melted and created a paste that sealed the leak hole. Soap "cuts" the oil and adheres to the metal in the crankcase and when solidified it became hard as a rock.

Amazed, Maglioli thanked Renato and pulled out of Ferrari a small Roliflex camera which he used to capture that miraculous moment. Workshop "El Milagro" and Renato next to the Ferrari 375 Plus under repair were immortalized.

Umberto Maglioli in his Ferrari 375 Plus, finished the fifth stage of the race in first place and changed Ferrari history forever.

While Ferrari was a well-known car in Europe, it wasn’t in America and the brand was far from being an economically viable business. Ferrari desperately needed to prove to America that their cars were superior, fast and reliable. Winning the race would bring them recognition and with its sales in the United States, which would help them save the brand from bankruptcy.

Some time later, Renato Martinez received by mail the printed photograph Maglioli had taken of that moment. The photograph was signed:

"To my friend Renato M. From Umberto Maglioli. "
The photograph came along with a letter thanking Renato and said: "Renato, The Mexican Miracle that helped Ferrari."
That letter was signed by a man named Enzo Ferrari.

That farmstead, late 1940s.  The JD tractor is an unstyled 1930s,  the front wheels were steel, but were converted to rims and rubber tires, the back wheels came off a 1940sJD.   This would have been a flywheel start, no electrics.  They did invest in a modern disk and 2-row lister, the rest is all horse drawn equipment.  Still driving a Ford model A coupe, an old car by then.  Electricity still hadnt arrived, no wires to the house,  which is up off the ground to let the skunks and racoons underneath.  Pretty bare bones living.  Surprised there arent chickens in the yard.

I had to go find it Tim. One lever is spark, the other is the throttle control (not to be confused with the accelerator) The accelerator is actually found on the floorboard like all modern vehicles.

Actually they were both 'beaters'.  But the flathead was faster than the six in the Studey.  The Studebaker was my first car and the only car I made a profit on.  Bought it in 1961 for $15.  Drove it a few months and junked it for $20.  I thought car trading was easy money.  Oh well.

The rancher filling the water bag kind of got me.   The plates say" Montana 1949, his coupe is about 1937, rather old for a road trip even then, and the boys riding in the trunk,, with a trunk, guess it was doable then.    The shop pic with the Ford T, obiously colorized, the white tires would have disappeared before WWI, and the car is an early 20s,  hope the hook on the  chain hoist was hefty enough.

any car accident is bad but them old cars were brutal. lots of steel, no crumple zone and nothing soft or anything that gives.

i know, people still died in car accidents and i have no numbers to back me up but my own experience tells me new cars are safer.

15 or 20 years ago i saw many more bad injuries and fatalities.  air bags, seatbelts, crumple zones and vehicles that keep their shape in a rollover protecting the passenger compartment keep people safer. i can only guess that many of those older vehicles without safety features no longer being on the road is part of it.

"A London bus trailing a wood gas generator. During and after WWII the supply of oil was restricted in half the world. The wood gas generators allowed to feed the petrol engines with a mix of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane obtained by burning wood with limited air, allowing the engines to work at less than a half of its nominal power.  15 millions of wood gas generators were sold in Europe in the nineteen forties."

I remember back during the Arab Oil embargo in the 1970’s, some companies sprang up to develop wood gas generators for fleet passenger cars and delivery trucks. I seemed like a good idea at the time, but most of these companies were gone in just a few years.

I often wonder if a modern commercially engineered compact generator would be a viable fuel technology these days.

 Our hang out was Twin Kiss, a locally owned small franchise with soft ice cream, milkshakes, subs and pizza.  Pin ball machines and then some video games. Big parking lot sitting on the edge of town right on the highway. 

Man that is making me smile.  And don't remember much trouble.

As a child mom and dad took us to Mc.Donalds to run around the play place.

As we got older in high school it was Hess. It was just outside borough limits so it was state police territory...

Then in my 20s it was Sheetz.... usually after quite a few at the local bar and line dancing.

Got a big fondess for the full service gas stations.   The truck pulled half into the Sunoco bay kind of looks like a roll back, but those werent around in 1954..  Never saw a Burger Chef, my usual haunt was the A&W.   Could be wrong but remember reading the (fuel) coming from a wood generator was corrosive, and led to short engine life.  Thanks for memories.

It definitely is cool. I love old sales slips. I have a box from a McCormick Deering dealer from the early 30s I've been meaning to go through.

As for value. Can say much on that. Who would R. Davidson be? Would that be one of Arthur Davidson's sons? Or perhaps a brother to Willie G.?

Love the "ice cold beer" signs. People forget that refreshing cold beer was a prime luxury in the 19th and early 20th century. Most of the stuff was consumed at room temperature. Even deep beer cellars or caves couldn't chill the suds down to a point where it was considered "ice cold".

I recall that my grandfather used to bring fresh beer home from the pub or the local brewery in a milk can and just store it in his home cellar for a day of two. That cellar temp was just a few degrees cooler than the upstairs rooms.

years ago the local beer joints were ice houses. Beer was just piled into metal water troughs and covered in ice. The ice house out by my house didn't even have electricity except for a few lights. But damn that was good beer.

Holy Moly!! -- Lacquer paint job - 10 coats hand rubbed? Even back then that was a hell of a deal. I color sanded and rubbed a lot of lacquer paint in my day, and that is a long tedious process given that you had to use extreme caution not to cut through the layer. Acrylic lacquer is finicky -- and the time involved is very lengthy.

At $10/hr for custom work, this place must have have been very popular.

Poor Studebaker Lark, got it coming and going.  A forward control Jeep truck as a wrecker had to be rare even in 1961.  Price of a custom paint job was 2-3 weeks wages back then,  remember that bubble top custom car in a magazine from about 1966.  Thanks for those pics.

The ladies pumping gas at the Standard Oil station,  into a 1941 Ford, probably during the war when women took over many jobs.  The 1956 Chevy lot is highlighted by the Chevy Cameo pickup,  a rare model still,  the rest are standard step-side pickups.

Picked up on the Cameo too.  Saw one sold yesterday on a Mecum repeat.  Said the fiberglass sides were installed over the stepside bed. didn't know that and yes they are quite rare.

Ford introduced the Styleside bed in 1957. Chevrolet built the Cameo from 1955-1959 until the Fleetside was ready in 1960. I'm not sure about Dodge et al but they were on about the same timeline.

Chevy brought out the Fleetside in 58, got one,  beat by Ford by one year.  However the Fleetside tailgate was full width.  Chevy also used  double wall box sides.  The Ford was narrow like the stepside, made a difference when loading things.

In those days, gas stations purchased their gas through distributors. It may be their local distributor carried more than one brand or the station had relationships with more than one distributor. My dad had a good relationship with the local Gulf distributor, more than once we had Gulf merchandise (usually motor oil) on our shelves alongside our Esso products. We were receiving gas directly from the Esso terminal so we always hid off-brand product whenever the rep was making the rounds.

Back in 1968 - 1971, I pumped gas, changed & mounted tires, LOF, ... in a Mobil station in Buffalo, NY.

I recall wrapped tires, but it must have been before my time at the station. I do remember the crush of customers after the first significant snow fall!

We also had an IH Scout with a plow and a gasoline powered generator, we used to jump-start cars that were on the raggedy edge. A squirt of ether and 24 Volts almost never failed!

Also, when the snow got to much for the baby-blue Scout, a fella with a beat-up dump truck and an equally beat-up front loader would show up and remove the small mountains of snow the Scout had built up.

Back then, a constant stream of hot coffee from a local restaurant kept us moving and thawed out.  :coffee2:

All paid for by the owner-operator; Jim Landes.

Thanks Jim!   :051bye:

I think the tire wrap was to ensure new rubber arrived unblemished,  plus wide whites were phasing out then.  24 volts tended to make the dome light GLOW for a second.

I unwrapped miles of spiral tire wrap as a young gas station helper. IIRC anything with a whitewall or early 60's white letter bias ply tires was delivered wrapped. Cheaper winter and or budget blackwall tires were unwrapped. If it was a premium grade tire, or a specialty tire (such as slicks) they were usually wrapped regardless of whether they were white- or blackwall.

I do recall that one brand we sold had the most annoyingly sticky wrapping that was almost impossible to cut. The Vredestein premium winter studded radials. I can't recall the name that Vredestein gave that tire, but the wrapping was like modern day Kevlar. We used to joke that the tires should have been made of the wrapping material because it would last forever. My only guess is that the wrapping was made that tough to keep the studs from poking through and causing damage during transport.

After spending several years underground on the Western Front, the New Zealand Engineers Tunnelling Company was involved in the Battle of Havrincourt, opening on 12 September 1918, which began the German retreat back to the Belgian border. On 27 September the company was joined by a Royal Engineers company, the two companies (14 officers and 310 men in total) built a Hopkins steel bridge across the Canal du Nord between Hermies and Havrincourt.

This was the largest heavy steel bridge erected on the Western Front during the war, with a span of 180 feet (55 m) above a 100 feet (30 m) deep gap; in total the bridge was 240 feet (73 m) long, launched by rollers. It took 80 three-ton lorry loads to bring up the material, and the total time to unload and erect the bridge was 104 hours. It was opened for traffic on 2 October and completed on 5 October. Note the canal was unfinished at the start of the war and can be seen to be empty of water in the first photo.

That was an incredible effort of both men and machines. Quite a gap to span with such a bridge design.

1. The first commercial flying boat service between Sydney and Wellington began in October 1950. The Wellington base was Evans Bay. Planes docked beside a small passenger terminal near Hataitai Beach – shown here in 1951. The trip to Sydney took about seven hours. The service ceased in 1954 when regular planes started flying across the Tasman Sea.

Low flying!!

Wing Commander F W Hillock, Officer Commanding No. 410 Squadron RCAF (left), and Flight Lieutenant P O'Neill-Dunne (right), standing in front of their De Havilland Mosquito NF Mark II at Coleby Grange, Lincolnshire, with 300 feet of copper wireless cable which they brought back wrapped around the aircraft from an intruder operation over Holland. On the night of 15 April 1943, Hillock (pilot) and O'Neill-Dunne (observer) mounted a Night Ranger operation to the Ruhr valley. While flying at low level in poor weather they were suddenly confronted with the radio masts of Apeldoorn station. Hillock threw the Mosquito into a vertical bank and flew straight through the antenna, tearing several away in the process. He then continued with the mission before returning to Coleby Grange, whereupon it was discovered that, not only were they encumbered with the cable, but one wing tip had been sliced off by the breaking antenna and the other wing cut through to the main spar (damage visible on the left).

So talking of fitting their balls in the cabin...

When I was living in Gisborne in the late 90's I was involved with the Gisborne Aviation Preservation Society who where just completing their museum building to house the gate guardian Lockheed Lodestar ZK-BUV,  that had been used as a top dressing aircraft in the area from 1958 to 1972.

One of the older members was an ex-top dressing pilot called Bruce. Bruce started his top dressing career flying a Tiger Moth, then progressed to a de Havilland Beaver. His boss must have though he was OK because he was then selected to fly the heavy metal, the Lockheed Lodestar and finally the Douglas DC3. Bruce retired from flying in 1987 after flying over 23,000 hours.

A few days before we lifted the Lodestar it's pylons, Bruce and I were waking aroud under it, as I was learning to fly at the time I asked him to explain the slots in the leading edge of the wing tips (fixed leading edge slats). He did then quite calmly mentioned that he had knocked "one of those off on a tree one day". Evidently he had banked into a turn too soon after a spreading run and had dropped the wing tip into the only tall tree in the paddock. Luckly the wing tip is a seperate piece and it departed quite easily, that being the only damage. He finished spreading the load, a little bit more cautiously, and flew back to the airport where the maintainence guys installed a new wing tip. Image throwing a 21,000lb/9,500kg plus aircraft around that close to the ground, remembering of course they always flew at "Ag MTOW" that was a max take off weight, CAA approved, higher than a passenger or freighter MTOW.

The Lodestar carried 7,700lb/3,500kg in the hopper and a DC3 carried 11,00lb/5,000kg.

Shhh, don't tell anyone but I found this, an episode of a country life type TV series featuring Bruce when he flying the DC3. Note the bit later in the episode where they mention only 50' under the aircraft. On a side note I've flown with Bruce in the Tigermoth several times.

Very intriguing vintage B&W photo. The man to the right is Earl Stoyer who owns the Packard dealership in Pottsville and Schuylkill Pa. He also owns the local Cadillac/Oldsmobile along with Studebaker dealerships in the area... The taller man in Jack Dempsey. The Champion heavy weight fighter of the teen and twenties. His nickname was nicknamed Kid Blackie, named so because of his full head of dark hair.

The car was powered by a Continental 12-K side-valve straight eight cylinder engine with a displacement of 321.8 c.i. (5.3 litre), delivering 125 bhp. Du Pont added an aluminum cover over the distributor, spark plugs and wiring for water and dust protection. There was a 3 speed transmission. Included were four-wheel hydraulic brakes, and hydraulic shock absorbers. Standard wheelbase was 136 in., with 141 in. available for formal coachwork, and a speedster with 125 in. There were 12 factory body styles to choose from, manufactured for Du Pont by Merrimac, Derham, and Waterhouse. The rolling chassis was available for other coachbuilders. Prices ranged from US$4,360 ($74,306 in 2022 dollars [3]) to US$5,750 ($97,995 in 2022 dollars [3]), with Speedsters up to US$6,125 ($104,386 in 2022 dollars

I'm kinda an old soul like that. I know way more about history then I do the modern day. A love of History was passed down from my grandfather and father.

Like you I love to drive through the old small towns that still show the shadow of their former selves.  Or driving through the coal region to see the woods that used to be a thriving mine or boom town at one time.

I love that Linwood KY pic!!! The old store/post office is a true piece of Americana. Hundreds of small towns across the US shared that same setting. Always a place to meet and share news, information, and commune with neighbors and friends.

Sad part about those old timers sharing time together. Most likely few people today would recognize who they were. Yet they served an important part of many lives in Linwood.

Wood Brothers classic #21 Ford. Ford and the #21 Wood Brothers cars were synonymous. Ford doesn't have much left in their passenger car stable these days. Wonder what Leonard Wood thinks of that conundrum? Can you imagine Ford corporate calling and saying --- "Hey Leonard, how about racing a Mach E Mustang?"   -- LOL

A & G Price started building flax milling machines in 1868 on Auckland. In 1871 they followed the Coromandel gold rush, setting up in Thames where they still exist today. As well as mining equipment they built locomotives and undertook general engineering.

Premises in early 1900s.

1912 0-4-4-4-4-0 Price 16-Wheeler

The 16-wheeler was a copy of several designs, the concept coming from the earlier Johnston 16-wheeler but using skew bevel gears based on the Climax A. A vertical two-cylinder marine type engine (cylinders 7" x 10" 190 x 254 mm) mounted in the cab and driving a line shaft via a two-speed transmission drove the locomotive. Skew bevels then provided drive to all axles. It was designed to negotiate a 66 feet (20-metre) radius curve and weighed 36 tonnes, being heavier than its Johnston counterpart, and with an axle loading of 2.25 tonnes. Like most geared engines they were not particularly fast and did not perform on line haul work but did a magnificent job on the bush branch trackage. Four 16-wheelers were constructed, the very first one in 1912 lasting in service until 1951, a good record.

The Mountain Rimu Timber Co. Price 16-wheeler at Mamaku.

Length 32'-3" (9843 mm), Wheelbase 24'-4' (7417 mm), Truck wheelbase 2'-6" (762 mm), Boiler pressure 160 psi (1103 kPa), Wheel diam. 20" (508 mm)


1923 0-4-4-0 Price-E

The Type E could be said to be a straight copy of the Climax B but used the Price copy of the Heisler truck. The line shaft drove the leading axle via a straight bevel gear and coupling rods transmitted the power to the trailing axle. The locomotive competed with both the Climax and Heisler on the New Zealand scene. Piston valves were used on this 23 to 26 tonne lokey. Four of this type were built, but later a heavier, upgraded version was made

The photo shows a Type E as delivered to George Syme in the Matahina forest, 1936.

Length 27'-6" (8382 mm), Wheelbase 20'-9" (6325 mm), Truck wheelbase 3'-9" (1143 mm), Boiler pressure 160 psi (1103 kPa), Cylinders 9" x 12" (241 x 305 mm), Wheel diam. 28" (711 mm).


1943 Type V

The A & G Price Type V, the last steam locomotive crafted in 1943, was inspired by the American Heisler design. Featuring two cylinders arranged in a V form in front of the firebox, it employed conventional universal joints and sliding shafts for power transmission to the trucks. The locomotive, with Heisler-style coupling, served its owner for 17 years and now stands restored at the Canterbury Steam Preservation Society's track. Notably, it might be the last geared steam logging locomotive built globally. The story goes that A & G Price received an order for a Heisler locomotive in 1943 from Ogilvie and Co, sawmillers of Hokitika, who wanted to purchase a Heisler locomotive but were unable to do so as production of Heisler locomotives had ceased in 1941. The resulting locomotive, maker's No 148, was the last Heisler-design steam locomotive to be built, and closely followed Heisler practice but with the addition of a Belpaire firebox and front-mounted water tanks that featured a unique curved leading edge.

The last pic, cars lined up for inspection?  Oil change?  Big Hudson nearest so it is post-war, green car is a Hudson too, at the door is a Cadillac convertible sedan, super rare today, about 39'. Great pic, white sign by the door, but can't make it out.

When you think about the enormous industrial capacity needed to produce such huge machines during that time period; it truly is awe-inspiring. 
That steam engine in the back must have been a monster.

The third photo shows how massive they were when you compare the crane to the tank engine in the lower right of the photo.

I don't think that was a run of the mill repair shop. Likely for fancier cars of that era.
