The onslaught of another winter also means another annual election for which I would be remiss if I didn't express our appreciation to Norm Devitt for once again acting as our returning officer, and express our collective thanks to each and every one of our members who volunteered, who were elected, and who were appointed, as members of our 2014 Executive Team. These are the members who herd things along so that we can all enjoy the various dimensions of this multi-faceted Club and hobby of ours. I both thank and congratulate them one and all! I should also mention that it was apparent from questions and comments received subsequent to the completion of the Club's AA truck project that a basic AA Truck policy statement / guideline was needed. This became a key point of discussion at our Oct. 19th Executive meeting the result of which is published in this copy of the Script. An additional item of interest is that we are now beginning to receive advance information including soft copies of the registration form for the 2014 National/International MAFCA Meet to be help in Puyallup, Washington next summer. Instead of a mass relay of whatever items we may receive we will selectively relay them to those of you who contact me to request them. Wishing you safe travels!

In addition Paul Chudek advised that the Arizona chapter is devoting their December meeting to the topic of Canadian Model A and Model AA vehicles. Pictures of our vehicle will be sent to them for their use. Tours & Activities: Dean Potter and his various tour and activity leaders were thanked for putting together another outstanding season of tours and activities. Attention was drawn to the Christmas Function notice contained in the Script and the change to this being a catered function. It was also noted that: “ Christmas Party Tickets are now available and that Irene Rigby must receive st your payment, etc., prior to December 1 in order to preclude last minute walk-ins and allow the Club to finalize its arrangements with the Caterer ” Tech Talk: “A thank you to Murray and Glenn for the “Stop right There” discussion on brakes. They would also appreciate receiving suggestions for future topics and one suggestion was for them to use one of the supplier's catalogues as a guide and checklist for potential topics. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned with Jim and Gary Callander being thanked for agreeing to be the bearers of doughnuts to our future meetings ___________________________________________________________________________ DA _____________ The November 2013 Script Page 4 Editor’s Notes Yes, winter has arrived!

November 2013 The Script Page 6 The spark plug I was always intrigued by the origin of the spark plug. The gasoline engine development depended on it (until German inventor Rudolf Diesel came with his bright idea in 1893). As a youngster I understood how the engine worked - I started at 14 yrs old taking them apart – and not to take anything away from those savant engineers and scientists who invented the principle of operation and produced unbelievable results, but all of it depended on someone who could develop a product that could make a spark to create that ball of fire (kernel) to expand the gas vapour virtually instantly under very demanding parameters of high pressures and heat. Along came a Frenchman in 1860 by the name of Etienne Lenoir who used an electric spark plug in his gas engine, the first practical internal combustion piston engine patented that year, and is generally credited with the invention of the spark plug. He obtained a patent (patent no 345596) in 1886 the same year he obtained a patent for a carburetor. Some historians have reported that Edmond Berger invented an early spark plug on February 2, 1839. However, he did not patent his invention and in 1839 these engines were in the early days of experimentation. Therefore, Edmund Berger's spark plug if it did exist would have had to have been very experimental in nature as well or perhaps the date was a mistake. France dominated the spark plug market in the early 1900s, supplying gasoline engine manufacturers with only a limited line of plug configurations. They were also known to be quite costly and had substandard quality. Albert Champion was born in France in 1878. In 1889, a renowned bicycle and motorcycle racer, Champion came to America to compete in a series of races. He had brought several bicycles and motorcycles, but found parts very hard to find in the United States. As a result, Champion made his own parts. To help pay bills and cover expenses, Champion began making spark plugs and sold them to friends. Champion's love of motors slowly turned towards automobiles and he later returned to France to open a shop that manufactured spark plugs and magnetos. In 1900, Champion returned to America after being hired by Charles Metz to race bicycles and motorcycles for the Waltham Manufacturing Company. In 1904, Champion moved to Flint, Michigan, where he founded Champion Ignition Company for the manufacturing of spark plugs. With the help of investors, Champion was able to turn his racing hobby into a successful business. Unfortunately, problems with the investors soon lead to a break up. Champion soon found himself without a company. The investors continued to manufacture the spark plugs under the Champion name, but Champion himself was out of a job. In 1908 with the backing of the Buick Motor Co., Champion began a new company called the AC Spark Plug Company. Albert Champion was appointed president. In 1916 Alfred P. Sloan formed United Motors Corp. and eventually acquired Buick and AC Spark Plug. There were many more plug patents filed around the turn of the century as recorded in Wikipedia. Early patents for spark plugs included those by Nikola Tesla for an ignition timing system, 1898, Frederick Richard Simms, 1898 and Robert Bosch also in 1898. But only the invention of the first commercially viable high-voltage spark plug as part of a magneto-based ignition system by Robert Bosch's engineer Gottlob Honold in 1902 made possible the development of the spark-ignition engine. Subsequent manufacturing improvements can also be credited to Albert Champion as well as a host of others including a woman by the name of Helen Bartlett in the development of the plug insulator. Yvon Picot A Tip: I've always had trouble keeping my white walls white, I've tried various products even SOS pads, but they just grind the rubber away. Barry Osborne put me onto Bleche-Wite by Black Magic. Ace Hardware in the US stocks it, $4.50 for a 32oz spray bottle. I've just used it and my cream coloured tires are now white, I recommend it . Dave Dodd November 2013 The Script Page 7 The Club's AA Truck, - - “ An end of the Season Update “ Identified in conjunction with the essential completion of the Club's AA Truck Project was a need for the Club Executive Team to establish a basic set of, “Storage, Usage, and Retention or Disposal guidelines”. This topic became a key topic of discussion at the Club's fall of 2013 Executive Meeting, the minutes of which in this regard read as follows: Awards Display: Gord Rouse has volunteered to develop a Clubhouse display of the NW Regional and MAFCA awards received. These will remain with the Club rather than accompany the truck should the Club eventually dispose of it. Storage: Concern was expressed relative to the degree of deterioration vehicles stored longer term in unheated locations with unsealed floors can experience, particularly during the winter months. By contrast the anticipated costs associated with most of the alternatives available may well exceed the amount of depreciation involved. In this regard it was decided that the truck would be moved from its shed which has an unsealed floor to the Clubhouse for storage this winter. The Club's options in this regard will be reviewed annually and input re: financially viable options from Club Members at large would be welcomed. Usage Policy: The truck may well be used for Club sanctioned events but in view of its low speed gear ratios use of the truck as a participant in the Club's various highway excursions is not practical. Also, in view of the various liability issues involved, requests that the Club loan the truck to individual Club Members will not be considered. The truck is however a prime candidate to promote the Club and the collector car hobby via various display opportunities, possibly in movies under controlled conditions, or in selective parades. Whether to drive or trailer it to various events would be decided on an event by event basis. Individual usage proposals should be submitted to either the Capital Assets Director or the Club President who via e-mail will elicit the approval of four or more Members of the Club's Board of Directors (including themselves) before granting approval. Disposal Considerations: A current appraisal of the truck's value is desirable from both an insurance and Club management perspective and Norm Devitt has volunteered to do this on behalf of the Club. The Club is currently on-track with its financial objectives so there is no current pressure from a financial perspective to convert the value of the truck into liquid assets. Should however, a purchase offer in excess of its appraised value be received the Executive Team feels duty bound to consult the Membership at-large before reaching a decision. This would be done via an e-mail identifying the pros and cons involved, summarizing the offer, and requesting a “sell or don't sell” response within a specific period of time. An Executive decision would then be made following an assessment of the ratio of yes and no responses received. ________________________________________________________________________ RWR ________________ Horizon Village BBQ by Gary Callander Several club members had an enjoyable day on Saturday, Sept 14 during our visit to the MacEwan Horizon Village. We haven't done this for a few years and the residents of the village wanted us to come back. Some of us gathered for a short tour before hand, meeting at the NW edge of town and touring out to Big Hill Springs park. It was a beautiful Fall day, and we had a chance for an enjoyable hike around the park . After that, we headed to the village, which is a 50+ residential area in MacEwan. The residents were eagerly waiting, and we started right away to giving them rides in our Model A's. We were kept busy taking people for short rides around the neighbourhood. The rumble seats were popular. Everyone had a great time, and we were happy to oblige them. When everyone had their rides, they hosted a free BBQ for us, serving hamburgers, salads and all the fixings. Cakes and other desserts were also provided. They even gave us some money for our gas. It was a great day! Those in attendance were Gary Callander & family, Jim & Mary Callander, George Edworthy and friend Betty, Barry Osborne, Paul and Kathy Chudek, and Gordon Rouse. There were 6 model A's that gave rides that day. The November 2013 Script Page 8 Tech Talk How many restorations are on "hold"? It is very easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of work involved to complete a restoration. The initial enthusiasm gives way to doubt and despair as problems arise. You see so many beautifully restored cars and realize how much more time, effort, and money it will take to finish the project. What does it take to reignite the spark? Step back and look at what you have done. Are you attempting a full frame off restoration? Can you get a very presentable, safe car on the road with a less ambitious goal? This could mean buying reproduction parts instead of trying to restore original pieces. Getting a car on the road is the fun part of this hobby. Once the car is driveable you can work on upgrading one area at a time until you have the show piece you want. If your work area is not heated you loose a lot of time waiting for comfortable working temperatures. Use this time to work on smaller parts that you can do at the kitchen table or your basement workbench. This is also a good time to plan your next phase of the project. Read all the technical articles you can find on the subject. Order necessary parts. Receiving a new piece for the car will keep the spark alive and give you something to look forward to installing. One more step to completion. We all hit that point where we just cannot figure out how to fix a problem. That is when you take advantage of all the experience the Club has to offer. Club members are always willing to offer advice. That is what the Club is about. Helping to get Model As on the road and enjoying them. So don't let this cooler weather put your project on hold any longer. Have your next step of the project planned and parts ready. Sid Gough Technical Editor PS: Maybe I should follow my own advice. Dear Stampede City Model A Ford Club; A Classic Vehicles Library is being started by the Cochrane Classics Car Club with the enthusiastic support of the Cochrane Public Library. The club collected several books and manuals at its show and shine in th September, and this next year’s Show and Shine, which will be held on Sunday, September 14 ,2014, they hope to collect a lot more. Who has a book on classic Cars, Trucks or Motorcycles, and hasn’t looked at it for a long time? Donate it to the Cochrane Club to help them build a valuable collection of literature and Manuals on everything you might want to know about any Classic make. How about an Studebaker Avanti Manual? Maybe a National? How about an early Buick—or an Olds 442? If you are a member of any public library in Alberta, you’ll be able to access these! All the Club needs is support—a little bit from all the Clubs in Alberta would go a long way to helping reach this goal! Please contact Ken Hutchinson @ 403 932 1677,or mail your cheque to the Cochrane Classics Car Club,310 Crawford Close ,Cochrane Alberta,T4C 2G6 A representative of the Club, Ken Hutchinson, will be @ the Specialty Vehicle of Alberta Association th meeting in Lethbridge on February 5 ,2014 Ken Hutchinson, FRAIC November 2013 The Script Page 9 November Birthdays Peter Debruyn 7 Shaireen Osborne 10 Judy Hawley 12 Al Dundas 16 Ralph Poffenroth 16 Dean Potter 17 Florence Robakowski 17 Bart Campbell 20 Susan Dundas 20 Mike Hill 20 Dennis Dovich 21 Jeannette Glover 24 George McKenzie 29 Mary Callander 29 November Anniversaries Audrey and Sid Gough 16 Susan and Al Dundas 18 Doreen and Victor Rogalsky 30 We wish Mil Rouse a speedy recovery from her recent illness.
