Next Months Meeting (August 2.nd.) Doug Gorham has kindly donated his magazine collection to the car club for distribution to members at the meeting, the Editor, or the Library, whatever we decide. Vin Forbes will bring them along to the August meeting. I look forward to seeing you there. Ray Griffin,....Vice President.

Editorial Club Permit Renewals. Members who have joined with cars on Club Permits through CHACA since February 2011 may receive a loose leaf insert with their Journal this month. This is to remind you that we require permitted members to attend at least 2 Club runs or events throughout the year to qualify for continuing membership with us. We realise that some members will find it difficult to comply with this rule due to work commitments, health reasons, carer situations etc. But we still expect members to act as members and contribute to the ongoing well-being of the Club in some way, be it by attending events, contributing articles for the Journal, organising an event, volunteering for a committee position, or anything else that may identify you as a worthwhile member and justify your position with us. We know that many have joined just for the cheap registration of their vehicles. That’s fair enough and quite a reasonable and logical choice, but if that is their only reason for joining and they have no desire to participate in Club activities, we don’t want or need them. That is why the final decision to accept or reject your application for renewal lies with the committee and the above factors will be taken into consideration. Please make sure you fill in the attendance book at each run you attend. This is the only way we can keep track of attendances. An active Club needs active members. Eddie Reynolds..... Editor.

Raffle Prizes. 1st. 4th.

Screwdriver Set...Justin Kemp. 2nd. Set of Towels...Vin Forbes 3rd. “Ford” Mug & Glass Set...Brian Garrett Maxwell Williams Jug & Canister Set... Alan Munro 5th. Pocket Radio Esther Healy.

Members Please Note............2 Events on the same day. On October the 27th we have planned a display day at Federation Square. We need at least fifteen cars to make it a viable proposition. On the same day we have been invited to attend a function organised by Belgrave Rotary in Ferny Creek Oval. The Rotary Club have organised this fundraiser for local support and invited the VDC, VCCA and CHACA to this event. There will be an entry fee of $5.00 per Display Vehicle which covers all passengers. See Page 14. The committee decided to make this our Tri-Club Picnic instead of the original day, Sunday the 13th of October. There will be all sorts of attractions with food available and is next door to The Floral Society Gardens which could be well worth a visit. If anyone is still interested in the Federation Square Display Day, please convey your expression of interest to Kevin Churchill or Eddie Reynolds by the end of July.

Horse Racing Connections

Woodlands Homestead is one of the southern hemisphere’s most historic thoroughbred properties. Champion horses have been owned, bred and spelled on this property since the 1840’s. These champions include: Whittier — Winner of the 1922 and 1925 Caulfield Cups as well as the 1923 Doncaster Handicap Heroic — Winner of the 1924 AJC Derby, then the 1926 Cox Plate, and was Australian Champion Sire seven years in a row — from 1928 to 1934. Manfred — Winner of the 1925 Cox Plate and AJC Derby before winning the Caulfield Cup in the following year. Hallmark — Winner of three of Australia’s top races in 1933 — the AJC Derby, the Victoria Derby and the Melbourne Cup. Ajax — In 1937 won Group 1 races in both Sydney and Melbourne — the AJC Sires Produce Stakes, the Caulfield Guineas and the Rosehill Guineas. The various owners and occupiers of Woodlands since 1842 had close connections or interests in a number of overseas countries, thus providing and “international” heritage for the Home for Horses. Overseas connections were within:



Canada, Channel Islands, France, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, The Bahamas, United Kingdom, United States.

Kevin North, One of our newer members brought along his 1958 Jaguar MK1 3.4 litre to our June meeting. Unfortunately we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the Club camera with us, so Brian Garrett attempted to take some photos with his mobile phone. It was a very dark night and this was the best photo he achieved.. Not too bad, really, for the conditions. Brian was accompanied by his friend John Chilianis of Beaumaris.

Coljen Gear Cutting and Westerfolds Park. Sunday 23rd. June 2013.

Visit to Coljen Gear Cutting 23 June 2013 On a crisp sunny day, 19 cars assembled at the Coljen factory in West Heidleberg. Jenny provided morning tea which was well received. Colin then demonstrated one of the gear cutting machines after explaining that the process of gear cutting was patented in 1909. Setting up the machine is a precise process. The alignment of the machine is checked. The correct sequence of gears is fitted to the back of the machine depending on the number of teeth to be cut and the pitch. The blank is checked for round and belted into submission where necessary, then the cutter is aligned. A small cut all round is then made to ensure that the setting up is accurate. Following this, deeper cuts are made and then a fine cut to get the depth exactly correct. The cutter moves across the gear face, then a cam moves the cutter away for the return stroke. A number of strokes are made with the gear turning slowly. The cutter then moves away and down before aligning ready for the next cut. Colin demonstrated on the older machine as it can be run slowly and on a plastic gear so no oil was needed. This made for an excellent demonstration which was easily understood. We then moved to Westerfolds Park where Ray and Kevin had set up for us in a beautiful picnic area where we enjoyed a barbeque and delicious salads, home made by James Allan. Thanks to James and Colleen for arranging an interesting and enjoyable day. Erica Churchill.

My “Big Boot” Most members who attend club runs would be familiar with “Big Boot”. Big Boot was originally manufactured in the 1980’s and consisted of a rectangle or straight frame with a 360 degree swiveling single wheel, a special bracket which bolts to the tow-bar but does not turn and a 3ft x 3ft x 1ft high fibreglass box mounted on the frame. They did not sell very well, as they were rather expensive and despite the small size required 2 people to disconnect them and wheel them away, otherwise they would tip over. I managed to locate my Big Boot in Lang Lang, south east of Melbourne, where it had been in long term storage. It was in excellent condition, having had very little use. I removed the fibreglass box, lengthened the frame 200mm and installed a 50 x 25mm steel canopy Frame with drop down tail gates on 3 sides and marine vinyl canopy with zippered flaps on 3 sides. A full width aluminium ramp is stored on top of the canopy, and hooks on to the rear, enabling me to load and unload my electric mobility scooter without assistance. Since completing the rebuild I have installed caravan corner jacks to each corner to enable me to disconnect on my own, but still couldn’t move it once disconnected. I recently added wheels to the front corner jacks which should overcome this problem. The design of this unit allows me to reverse into a parking spot without the trailer jack knifing, as the trailer does not turn. It is rigidly fixed to the tow bar and the rotating wheel automatically turns in relation to the steering wheel. (similar to a supermarket trolley). Big Boot is registered as an “exempt trailer” with a black and white version of my red club plates, which gives it an official identity without paying an annual fee. Post Script: As a member of the Studebaker Drivers Club of USA I receive a very informative monthly magazine with excellent historic articles. I was amazed to discover a feature article in my June 2013 issue, on Don Wilson, General Service Manager of the Studebaker Corporation 1924-1948. During this time he developed factory service schools and travelling field schools throughout USA. A company photo, taken outside the South Bend Administration Building, dated 1935 shows a “35 Stude sedan with 9 well dressed VIP’s and a custom built Big Boot apparently used by Don for his field work. Yet another first for Studebaker? Bob Clark

Hi Everyone, this comes from our member David Suters in Jindera. These vehicles may be of interest to you. Morgan Country Car Club Members, In researching the history of my Rover I have made contact with Fay Gumley in Hamilton Vic her husband Jim who is now in care with dementia was the third owner of the Rover and an avid collector of vintage bikes and vehicles. Fay is kindly providing me with a photo album and documentation of the Rover from when it was first imported from England by a Farmer in Colac until Jim apparently swapped a Matchless Motorbike for the Rover in 2002. There is still some research to be done as to when and by whom restored the car as photos in the album show the Rover dismantled and panels being resprayed. Fay mentioned that she still had some of Jim's collection at home that she is wishing to sell I offered to advise our club. I do not have a lot of detail however Fay can be contacted on 0355723209 or e: mail jimgumley@westnet.com.au.
