facts on Harley-Davidson, founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

• In 1901, 21-year-old William Harley wrapped up a blueprint drawing of a single-cylinder engine designed to be attached to a regular bicycle frame. Two years later, with the help of his childhood friend Arthur Davidson, their first motorcycle rolled out of their first “factory,” a 10’ x 15’ wooden shed. Arthur’s brothers joined the company shortly afterward, boosting 1903’s production to three motorcycles. Eight cycles were sold in 1905, and 50 the following year. While the first Harley was black, customers in 1905 could choose black or the “Silent Grey Fellow,” Each had hand-painted stripes and a handlettered “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” on the fuel tank.

• Harley-Davidson expanded to a new factory measuring 28’ x 80’ in 1906, and six full-time employees were on staff. The next year, production increased to 150. Another new factory came along in 1913, boasting 297,110 sq. ft, compared to the 2,240 sq. ft. of the 1906 facility. The larger area enabled the company to produce 12,904 cycles that year.

Interesting Stuff

HARLEYS (continued): • Seventeen years after the first cycle rolled out of that wooden shed, Harley-Davidson was the largest motorcycle company in the world, with dealerships in 67 countries. Over 28,000 motorcycles were produced in 1920.

• Of all the country’s motorcycle manufacturers in business in 1929, only Indian and HarleyDavidson were able to weather the stock market crash. Production at H-D dropped from 22,350 bikes to 3,703. Sales to police forces helped them survive the economy’s collapse.

•

H-D profited greatly from the use of their motorcycles during war time. Over 20,000 Harleys were used during World War I, and nearly 90,000 were put into service during World War II.

• In 1946, foreign motorcycles hit the American market and the competition with British and Japanese bikes was fierce. British imports had a sportier appearance and were cheaper and more reliable. Favorable tax laws governing imports made these bikes even more attractive. Although Harley-Davidson introduced the Hydra-Glide with the Panhead engine in an attempt to compete, it was heavy and not as sporty. It didn’t take long for H-D’s market share to shrink to a mere 6% of the market. By 1950, 40% of the motorcycles in the U.S. were foreign-made.

• Marlon Brando was 30 years old when he rode a British Triumph in the 1954 movie The Wild One, the story of a motorcycle gang terrorizing a small town. The film’s popularity did nothing to help the sales of Harleys. In an effort to combat the appeal of British bikes, in 1957, H-D introduced the Sportster, considered “father of the superbikes.”

• The 1969 cult film Easy Rider featured Peter Fonda as Captain America riding a completely transformed H-D Electra-Glide with a Panhead engine. Four bikes were customized for the making of the film. Three were stolen before the movie was completed, and one burned. Fonda later restored the burned bike and today that chopper can be seen at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. The Harleys ridden by the main characters in the film were purchased from the Los Angeles Police Department, as Harley-Davidson refused to provide free bikes for the movie.

• The 1960s ushered in the customizing trend, but H-D failed to jump on the bandwagon in time.

Their earnings faded, and the company was forced to go public, selling shares for the first time in 1965. In 1969, the family relinquished control of the business they had owned for 66 years, selling out to the American Machine and Foundry Company for $21 million. AMF, famous in the bowling industry, allowed the quality to slip considerably. Sales plummeted and by 1980, there seemed little chance of recovery for the company. In 1981, 13 senior H-D executives banded together and purchased the company from AMF for $80 million and the recovery began. In 1986, two million shares of common stock were offered, returning the company to public ownership.

• There have been a number of “glides” throughout Harley history. The Hydra-Glide was introduced in 1949, with the first hydraulic front forks.

This evolved into the Duo-Glide in 1958 with the addition of rear brakes and hydraulic rear suspension. The Electra-Glide came along with its electric starter motor in 1965, and on to the Super-Glide in 1971 and the Wide-Glide in 1980.

Emerald

Scott McQueen

Emeralds are famous for their intense, radiant green color that many believe conveys harmony, love of nature, and the joy of life itself. Innumerable stories are told about this magnificent gem. The Incas and Aztecs of South America long regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone. The Vedas, the holy scriptures of India, say that emeralds promise good luck and enhance well-being. The pharaohs of Egypt exploited mines near the Red Sea in Egypt between 3000 and 2500 BC. The “Cleopatra Mines” of Egypt are now of historical interest only. The emeralds from Zimbabwe are among the oldest gemstones anywhere in the world where they were already growing 2600 million years ago. Today emeralds are mined in Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, India, Pakistan, Australia, and in the US. Many famous emeralds can be seen in museums and collections. The New York Museum of Natural History exhibits a cup made of pure emerald which belonged to the Emperor Jehangir of the Mughal Empire (Indian subcontinent) in the 1700s.

STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS

“Engineered To Last”

LICENSED CONTRACTOR COMPLETE PROPERTY RECONSTRUCTION WWW.QCISS.COM

An Exhausting Proposition Q: When I get out of the shower, the bathroom is completely fogged up, even when the exhaust fan is running. What’s the point of having a bathroom exhaust fan if it doesn’t clear the air? -- Kurt C., Huntsville, Ala. A: Good question. If a bathroom exhaust fan doesn’t do the job it’s advertised to do, what’s the point of having one?

The exhaust fan serves a good purpose. It draws moist air out of the bathroom, minimizing damage to wallpaper, baseboards, the ceiling and anything else that isn’t sealed against water. However, if a “fog” lingers for more than five minutes after a shower, the fan isn’t doing its job.

The problem could be a blocked exhaust duct, an ailing fan motor or a unit that’s not large enough to clear the entire room. In every case, the unit is not pulling enough air out of the bathroom. An exhaust fan should remove as many cubic feet of air each minute as the number of square feet of the bathroom’s floor space.

Clean dust and debris from the unit and air ducts. If cleaning the unit doesn’t help, consider replacing it.

Switch off the unit at the circuit box, then remove the front grille. Use a circuit tester to make sure no power is coming through the wires attached to the fan motor. Do this by placing one probe of the tester against each connector, then placing the second probe against the grounding screw on the fan housing. Don’t touch the bare wires with your fingers. If the tester glows at any point, go back to the circuit box and turn off the correct switch.

Remove the mounting screws and pull the fan out of the wall or ceiling cavity. Disconnect the vent hose and household wiring to free the unit, then set it aside.

Next, measure the fan’s wall or ceiling cavity and record it. Measure the square footage of the bathroom, as well.

Take those figures and the fan assembly to the home-improvement store and purchase a fan that works best for the room’s square footage. Make sure the new fan’s exhaust port matches the size of the old exhaust port.

Install the new fan in the old cavity, if possible (a larger unit may require you to increase the size of the cavity). Attach the fan housing to the stud or joist, avoiding the nail holes of the old unit.

Test the household wiring to make sure the power is off before attempting to connect them to the new unit. Then, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to hook up the wires. Connect the vent hose to the new unit’s exhaust port, replace the grille cover and switch on the power at the circuit box.

HOME TIP Use caution when working with electrical products. Use a circuit tester to make sure the power is completely off, and don’t touch bare wiring with your fingers!

• On Aug. 21, 1935, the Swing Era begins with Benny Goodman’s triumphant Palomar Ballroom performance in Los Angeles.

Pinecrest Community Church is a fellowship of Christ-followers actively demonstrating our love for God by caring and loving one another and serving the communities we live and work in.

Do we always get it right? Nope. We freely admit that we're imperfect.

We're all different, with different stories and different life struggles, but we come together as one fellowship under the grace and cross of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to take this spiritual journey with us in a casual atmosphere of fellowship, worship, and relevant Biblical teaching.
