April 26, 2014 Chapter Board Minutes continued
Officers Reports:
Secretary: Al reported that all Chapter events now are covered by insurance. Roy reported that
both the Rochester and Oakville parades are also covered.
Truck Show report: Mark Vukish will handle the supply of traffic cones per Lee Kessler. Because there is an operating business that customers need access to, we will need additional signage
and help to separate customers from attendees. Mike Scott will help with signs. Judy will explain
to members how this show is different from our previous shows in that we will be responsible for
more activities an will need volunteers more than ever before. Judy has volunteer sign up sheets
with activities listed for the members to look at and hopefully start to sign on.
Old Business:
John Nichols award: Roy brought the award for the board to preview prior to it being awarded to
John at the general meeting. Doug indicated his father John will be in attendance. The award will
be presented after the formal portion of the general meeting.
New Business:
LeMay Family Foundation Donation. Al brought up that in previous years we as a chapter donated to the support of the Collection and last year we did not, then stated he believed we
should again do so. Discussion followed .
Motion: Moved by Roy Friis and seconded that that we donate $500 to the Foundation to
represent our support for 2013-2014 and $250 per year there-after. Motion carried.
Al brought up a concern that we needed board members to become liaisons to some of the
various locations we have for our meetings and shows so that all needed communications and connections are made. Doug Nichols will take care of the Feb 2015 meeting to be held at the Puyallup
Eagles. Art Watkins will make sure all is correct for our meetings at Walrath’s. Still needed is
someone to be the liaison for the meeting and show this fall at the fairgrounds in Chehalis.
Announcements: Roy mentioned the Pierce County Touch a Truck program and asked if anyone
was interested in being involved.
Adjournment: Due to a number of conflicts with board member schedules, the date of the next
board meeting was changed from May 10th to May 17th still at 10AM Mike Scott’s shop. The
meeting was adjourned at 12:02 PM.
The new chapter truck roster promises to be a way for the chapter members to contact each other
search out information on similar trucks and in general increase communication between our
members. For those who would like to either add or delete from the truck roster all you have to do
is write down the following information per vehicle:

Kenworth Trucks History
Every truck enthusiast knows that it is not just the sleek design and look of the truck that matters but in fact
the nut and bolt operations and the service that goes with it. When one is talking of the world's best trucks it
is but natural that the simple and elegant red and silver bug logo of the Kenworth truck come to mind. The
name stands for superior quality, for life. It has always been the aim of the company to produce trucks of
quality that provide the best use to the trucker and his company.
The semi truck manufacturer was founded in 1923 and has a long and rich history. The name Kenworth is a
combination of the names of the partners, Fredrick Kent and Edgar Worthington. The company has been a
pioneer in the trucking industry and has always stepped ahead to produce better trucks using the most
modern technology.
In 1933 Kenworth became the first trucking company to switch from gasoline to diesel engines and in 1957
it produced the first cab-over-engine model. In more recent times the Kenworth trucks have used state-ofthe-art aerodynamics to give them an edge over other trucks.
Kenworth is known to take seriously the needs of truckers and does everything to enhance the performance
of the it's trucks. Whether one buys a new or used semi truck, the owner is assured of the superior quality
of the machine as well as the services they will receive.
It's no secret that the initial purchase price of a Kenworth is more expensive than most other semi trucks.
However most educated semi truck owners realize that the upfront cost is only one of three components
that actually determine which truck delivers the best return on their investment. Year over year, Kenworth
used trucks consistently command the highest in resale value amongst class 8 trucks. Add this to the fact
that these trucks also deliver the lowest operating costs of any semi truck in the market. The bottom line is
that the world's best truck is also delivers the greatest investment value of any semi truck in its class.
Peterbilt Trucks History
The red oval logo bearing the name 'Peterbilt' in cursive handwriting might not be of much significance to a
man on the street. But the same logo for a truck lover symbolizes premium quality trucks. We are referring
to Peterbilt Trucks, a renowned name in the world of heavy-duty truck manufacturers.
However, a sneak peek at the history of Peterbilt reveals that it has not been a walk in the clouds for this
legendary truck manufacturer. During the early 1900s, railroads were used for carrying goods crosscountry. Similarly, rivers, canals and horses were other popular means of transportation. In addition, the
lack of motor- ready roads meant that there were few takers for motor trucks.
However, the onset of First World War proved to a blessing in disguise for motor trucks. Railroads were
proving insufficient for the transportation of food, war supplies and other material. This meant that more and
more trucks were pressed into service by the government. The government also took steps to build highways and quality roads. By the time the war, ended, motor trucks had cemented their place as an important
means of transportation.
The Great Depression brought mixed baggage for truck manufacturers. While some brands were registering growth, there were others like Fageol, which became bankrupt. Fageol was soon brought by T.A.
Peterman, a logger and plywood manufacturer from Tacoma, Washington. His lumber business was registering a phenomenal growth and hence he was looking for creating custom chain drive logging trucks.
Peterman concentrated on quality rather than quantity. When rivals like Ford were coming out with 100
trucks a day, Peterbilt was rolling just 100 trucks a year. Soon it etched a special place in the hearts of truck
lovers.
The death of Peterman in 1945 saw the ownership passing into the hands of his widow, Ida. She sold the
assets to the employees of Peterbilt, but not the land. Later in 1958, she announced her plans of building a
shopping center on the plant site. This put the new owners into quandary. To avoid the possibility of large
and long-term debt, the company was put up for sale. It was later acquired by Pacific Car and Foundry,
which owned Kenworth trucks. The author is an independent publisher that covers multiple topics in the heavy duty

PACCAR—2014
PACCAR held its annual Open House at the Technical Center on April 12, 2014. WOW! Is all a first time
attendee can say, other than if you haven’t gone, put it on your to-do list as it is well worth the drive to
Mount Vernon. PACCAR’s multimillion-dollar Technical Center opened in July of 1982. Approximately 65
miles north of Seattle, the center allowed us to see how they test the truck components and trucks themselves as part of their commitment to building the best trucks possible. We were treated exceptionally well
by the many PACCAR volunteers who were there to answer questions and help make the tour memorable
Traveling through the tulip and daffodil fields on the
way home was a big plus for my wife Debbi , put a
nice end to the day.
So Who is PACCAR?
In 1905, William Pigott, Sr. founded Seattle Car Mfg. Co. to produce railway and logging equipment at its
plant in West Seattle. The Company later merged with Twohy Brothers of Portland to become Pacific Car
and Foundry Company, a name it retained for the next 55 years.
The Company entered the heavy-duty truck market in 1945 with its first major acquisition, Kenworth Motor
Truck Company of Seattle. Pacific Car and Foundry greatly expanded its heavy-duty truck capability with
the purchase of Peterbilt Motors Company in 1958. That same year, the acquisition of Dart Truck Company
permitted its entry into the entirely new market of mining vehicles.
PACCAR became an international truck manufacturer in 1960 when Kenworth moved into Mexico with 49
percent participation in an affiliate company, Kenworth Mexicana S.A. de C.V., later PACCAR solidified its
place in the Mexican heavy-duty truck market by purchasing the remaining portion of its Mexican Operation.
PACCAR continued to expand into the international market with the establishment of a Kenworth Truck assembly plant near Melbourne Australia.
Believing "Pacific Car and Foundry Company" no longer accurately reflected the Company's products and
activities, directors and shareholders voted to adopt PACCAR Inc (no punctuation) as its new name in
1972.
PACCAR became a European truck manufacturer with the acquisition of Foden Trucks Sandbach, U.K.,
and more recently the acquisition of DAF Trucks N.V. in 1996 and Leyland Trucks in 1998 solidified PACCAR's position as one of the major truck manufacturers in the world. DAF Trucks is a Netherlands based
truck company with production facilities in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and Westerlo, Belgium. Leyland
manufactures trucks in the 6-18 ton commercial segment at its plant in Lancashire, England.
There is more to PACCAR than what is written above but this article hopefully gives you a thumbnail sketch
of who they are in relation to the trucking industry.
9. What form of truck was Kenworth looking to design before it decided on the T600's award-winning aerodynamic look?
A. Cabover B. Long-nosed conventional C. Bullet-shaped truck D. Dump truck

General Meeting Minutes
Meeting date: ___04-26-2014_____
Call to order: The general meeting of the NW Chapter of the ATHS, was convened at 1:00 pm by Vice
President Judy Watkins presiding.
Approval of minutes: Motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of the meeting. Motion carried.
Officers' reports:
President: No Report
Vice president: Judy opened the meeting by introducing Stacy from the LeMay Family Collection so she
could give the chapter an update on what was new at the collection and to lets us know they were looking
forward to our participation in the annual show in Aug. Treasurer Doug Nichols then Presented a check for
$500 in support of the Foundations preservation efforts and past support of the ATHS Chapter.
Judy asked that those in attendance indicate who they were and when they “caught” the trucking bug. It was
her observation that most had it by the time they were 10 years old. As the roll call went around the room, it
turned out her observation was spot on. Most of the members could relate a story of when they were young
or how they were born into a trucking family. When did you get the bug?
Treasurer: Current account balance is $5721
Board and committee reports: 2014 Truck Show. Judy started the report by spending time explaining to
the membership that this would be the first time the Chapter has put on a show where many of the previous
amenities like restrooms would not be furnished by the site. Because of the newness, we will need our
members to step up and give a little of their time to make the show the success it can be. We also need help
procuring items such as garbage cans, fire extinguishers, “but” cans, etc. Mike Scott has volunteered to
work on getting wheel chocks; Scott Russell found a porta-potty company in Olympia that would furnish
the needed units for $600 and then also indicated they would differ $150 making the cost $450. Motion
made to accept the cost, seconded, passed. Kerry Hibdon is donating a portable hand washing station for
the shows use. Lee Kessler’s nephew is arranging for our use of traffic cones for the
show. We now have a Barbeque sandwich vender, the ice cream guys will be back. If anyone knows of
someone like a kettle corn person that would like to participate, please let Judy know. We are moving forward with contacting the local Eagle Scouts to help with parking and will make a donation to them for their
help. Craig indicated that since the site was secured at night and gated, trucks could be brought in one or
two days ahead of the show and if arrangements are made with him you can also come early in your RV.
New this year we will have an auction for multiple items. Numbers will be drawn at 2:00pm the day of the
show. If you would like to donate or want more information, contact any of the board members.

From Train to Truck,
Common on trucks today air brakes, automobiles began using air brakes as early as 1903. The
first car to have them was called a Tincher. The Tincher debuted at the 1903 Chicago Automobile
Show, where its air-braking system was the technical wonder of the event. Not only could the airsystem stop the car, but it could be used to inflate flat tires and power the car's horn.
The Westinghouse Air Brake Company – WABCO) started by George Westinghouse was considered the leader in air brakes based on experience gained by his invention of an air brake for railroads. The railway air brake is based on a triple valve which inverted the behavior of the direct air
brake. The valve attached directly to the brake line, then had a connection to a reservoir, and to
the brake cylinder. It was called ‘triple valve’ because of its three modes: charging air into the line;
charged the system and released the brakes, and draining air from the brake line applied the
brakes. This system was a lot more responsive and fail-safe, and thus later became the basis of
the modern truck air brake.
In 1924 the Westinghouse air brake system including Broussouse compressor was applied to International Harvester Coaches in Akron, Oh.
By 1949 WWII accelerated the development and advancement and air braking becomes standard
on all heavy trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, fire trucks and off-highway vehicles. 1960 found automatic slack adjusters, air dryers, dual brake valves and first generation antilock braking systems
under development. Besides Westinghouse, other companies began to develop air brake systems. One of these, Bendix, eventually merged with Westinghouse Automotive Air Brake Company in 1930. WABCO, Bendix, Allied Signal are all part of Knorr-Bremsen who has been in the
business of manufacturing braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles for over 100 years. in
1922, when they moved into pneumatic braking systems for commercial road vehicles. KnorrBremsen was the first European company to develop a new pneumatic system that applied the
brakes simultaneously to all four wheels of a truck as well as its trailer. The resultant reduction in
braking distances made a significant contribution to improving road safety.
Our world of trucking has many names and terms whose origins are lost in the history of the industry. The name “Glad Hand” was once a slang term for a (sometimes insincere) handshake or
a "glad hander" usually a politician who does lots of hand shaking without much meaning. The
earliest known use of the term "glad hand" I could find was in 1948. Some have opined that the
term comes from the railroad industry that uses a similar coupler to connect air lines together
from railroad car to car and slightly resembles a pair of hands involved in a hand shake. The design allows the couplers to break away without damaging the equipment if they are pulled. And
this is a good thing, as we know it could happen when a tractor and trailer are separated without
first uncoupling the air lines."Glad-hand" connectors are also known as "palm couplings," in certain parts of the country.
