The Ex-Alden Sampson/Louis Meyer

Indianapolis Speedway owner Eddie Rickenbacker set forth a new formula for the 1930 race, intending to lower the cost of racing and to encourage participation by the automakers. While a maximum engine size of 366 cubic inches and dual carburetors were permitted, supercharging was eliminated on four-cycle engines and the riding mechanic was allowed once more after a seven-year absence.

Master mechanic Riley Brett devised an ingenious and unconventional response. In mid-1929 Brett, Alden Sampson and driver Louis Meyer began work on a new car in the old Miller plant. Everett Stevenson drafted the design, and Myron Stevens built the frame and bodywork. The design of the car was quite straightforward, with Miller components used throughout the chassis, and the attractive Stevens-built body featuring a unique grille insert.

Brett proposed a radical U16 engine configuration, based on two Miller 91 cubic inch engines, placed side by side and backwards in the chassis. Spur gears replaced the flywheels on each engine, while a third spur gear mounted between them drove a hollow driveshaft to the clutch housing, containing a standard Miller 91 flywheel and clutch assembly. In turn, the power was transmitted through a standard Miller 91 transmission.

To allow the narrowest possible chassis and body, both engines were set very close together. Brett designed new cylinder blocks cast with downdraft intake ports between the camshafts. This arrangement allowed the intake manifold to be placed above the cylinder blocks. Two Winfield carburetors were utilized, and a slightly larger bore raised displacement to 100.5 cubic inches per engine. A special cross-drive gearbox, driven by the center spur gear, operated a twin-magneto ignition system.

Over its lengthy career, the Sampson Special qualified for the Indianapolis 500 seven times! It was the second fastest qualifier at the 1930 Indianapolis 500, with a speed of 111.290 miles per hour, and driver Louis Meyer and riding mechanic Sampson led the first two laps of the race. At the 100-mile mark, Meyer was forced to pit for throttle repairs, but managed to charge back to a fourth place finish. The next year, Winton Crow replaced Sampson as the riding mechanic. Meyer posted the fastest qualifying time at 113.953 miles per hour, but the car retired on lap 25. Meyer returned to drive in 1932, with Dale Drake as the riding mechanic. Starting from seventh place, a broken crankshaft followed a skid on lap 51, ending their day.

Chet Gardner replaced Meyer as driver for the 1933 Indianapolis 500, and he and new riding mechanic Hershell McKee, starting from 15th position, remained near the front for the entire race, finishing in fourth place. Gardner and McKee returned for 1934, qualifying at 114.786 miles per hour, starting from fifth position, however a connecting rod failure put them out on the 76th lap, marking the final appearance of the U16 engine at the Speedway.

The tenacious Sampson entered the car in the 1935 Indy 500, this time with a 220 cubic inch Miller engine. With Gardner driving and Verne Lake as riding mechanic, the team started from ninth place, finishing in seventh position. In its final appearance at the “Brickyard” in 1936, driver Harry McQuinn and riding mechanic James Chappell started near the back of the field and rose to seventh position, until they ran out of fuel on lap 196.

The Sampson’s return to glory begins in 1969, with Pete and Marlene Schneider of Thousand Oaks, California, who were advised of an old race car that might be for sale. The owner had purchased it from a Los Angeles wrecking yard during World War II with the intention of creating a hot rod, but instead left the car untouched in his garage. The Schneiders purchased the mysterious car and tried to confirm its identity. A visit from Louis Meyer confirmed the car as being the Sampson Special indeed, and the Schneiders retained ownership until 2001, when Joe MacPherson purchased it.

MacPherson retained Greg Schneider to investigate the feasibility of reconstructing the long-lost U16 engine. Schneider traced four special engine blocks sold by Riley Brett in the 1980s to Miller enthusiast Chuck Davis. In addition, Davis possessed the original magneto drive and clutch housing. The existence of two more cylinder blocks and the 1934 version of the intake manifold were also confirmed. Meanwhile, George Parker, using the original Miller patterns, had reproduced all necessary aluminum castings for the Miller 91 engine.

Encouraged, Joe MacPherson elected to proceed with the project. Schneider, assigned the task of project manager, studied period photographs to ensure authenticity, with the assistance of Dave Hilberry at the I.M.S. photo shop. The biggest challenge was the gear drive assembly. Schneider and Neal Letourneau recreated the drawings for the needed parts using Neal’s skill as a CAD designer, and the required parts were faithfully reproduced. The cast aluminum front cover was particularly complex, housing the spur gears, magneto mounting platforms and the front motor mount trunnion. A steel mock-up of the gear drive assembly confirmed the design, and a period correct wooden pattern was created and sent for casting.

Next, all engine-related components were shipped to Phil Reilly & Co., where the castings were machined and other necessary parts were either located or reproduced. Sonny Bryant machined the crankshafts while David Wallace expertly assembled the entire U16 engine. Meanwhile, the correct Miller 91 transmission was duplicated in Minnesota, using original Miller drawings. According to Phil Reilly, the engines have not been started and will require further work, including the fabrication of water distribution tubes and exhaust headers.

Master craftsman Darwin “Squeak” White disassembled the body and chassis, revealing how original and unaltered the chassis was. The grille shell, cowl and tail are also original, except for the upper tail section, which had been lowered at some point in time. The frame rails were straightened and White cleaned and inspected all of the parts. The car was then reassembled, including the preliminary installation of the U16 engine. Unfortunately, Mr. MacPherson’s passing halted this great restoration effort.

Offered is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a uniquely powered and important Indianapolis two-man racecar with connections to three-time Indy winner Louis Meyer, the highly respected Riley Brett, long time car owner Alden Sampson and the genius of Harry A. Miller.

Our friend Jeff Carroll at Planet Nautique (www.planetnautique.com) will be taking possession of his new G23 Super Air Nautique (www.nautique.com) soon and we've just completed the fully customized SeaDek non-skid kit that will be featured on it. I realize I'm a bit biased but I think it really turned out well. Our lead CAD designer even introduced a new patterning technique to the logo areas, creating a secondary wood grain pattern on top of the brushing and teak lines. Doesn't get any more custom than that.

As soon as the pads are installed we'll post photos of the kit on the boat. I'm also quite sure you'll be seeing a lot of this boat on the PN website and other sites industry-wide.

Customized non-skid kits like this aren't just for website owners. Call today to get pricing and availability for a custom SeaDek (www.seadek.com) kit for your boat's swim platform, cockpit, transom or boat trailer. 321-632-4466 or info@seadek.com.

Several weeks ago we began a project in cooperation with Tow Boat U.S. and Boat U.S. Magazine. Captain Scott Stebleton, owner/operator of Tow Boat U.S. Daytona, brought in his 1977 Mako 26. She’s a workhorse of a boat who spends a lot of time on the water helping boaters in need. Whether it be towing a boat with engine trouble or just bringing some gas for a dry tank, this boat gets the job done. But getting the job done means bumps and bruises, chips and cracks, and that’s where SeaDek comes in.

Our mission was to cover up those old worn decks and give this Mako a facelift. But in doing so we also provided some great practical features as well. Once installed, our EVA SeaDek material provides a safer more comfortable working surface. Made from a closed-cell foam SeaDek acts as a shock mitigation material, lessening the fatigue bought on from standing on a hard fiberglass deck in rough seas. Walking, standing and kneeling are all a lot easier on this exceptional non-skid surface. Hardware, gas cans and rope barrels won’t slide all over the place any more either.

Another great feature often overlooked is the glare reduction. Here in the intense Florida sun the glare from a bright white fiberglass deck can be pretty severe. We went with a 6mm storm gray over black color combination that all but eliminates the bulk of the deck glare. This can be an important advantage when trying to keep your eyes on a customer in trouble miles offshore or scanning for water hazards in high seas.

While probably a much more important feature in fishing applications, SeaDek’s sound dampening characteristics will be a welcomed bonus on this Mako. From engine noise to clunking hardware, our pads will help provide a quitter ride.

As a finishing touch we added some inlaid Tow Boat U.S. logos up in the forward cockpit area and some SeaDek logos in the rear. In made-to-order custom applications we can add boat names, graphics and logos in a variety of sizes and color combinations. We can even cut your favorite fish right into your pads or add a fish ruler to a set of SeaDek coaming bolsters.

"Art imitates Life"

I've joined the club of 3D CAD designers.

When designing support frames for external applications, two of the most important factors to consider are the environment and the location of the services on the building.

For the design team, designing 16No. main supply fan frames, an 8-metre-wide duct frame and 23No. louvre fan frames on and around a new Energy Recovery Facility came with a few obstacles.

One of our senior CAD designers went on to explain the challenges:

“It was crucial we got involved early in the project, as one of the first tasks was to find out if the standard hot dip galvanised finish was acceptable in this coastal environment, or whether we would need to move to a duplex (galvanised and powder coated) finish.

We also needed to ensure the designs considered wind loadings, especially the 8m x 6m duct frame, as this effectively acted as a giant sail! We could fix down to the concrete, but due to the position of the connected units, could not brace back down to the floor as preferred, so we worked with the customer to agree on a tie bar solution to fix through the cladding and onto the building steelwork.

Fixing selection was also an important consideration; we had to specify the steelwork clamps for the supply fan frames, and suitable concrete anchors for the ducting frame that would resist the high tension placed on them from wind load. Also, as the louvre fan frames could only be clamped to the C section on one side, suitable stainless steel self-drilling screws had to be selected to maintain frame strength.”

Thank you Air Technology Systems system for sharing the picture.

Meet Ricard, he is number 98 in my 100 strangers project.

I spotted Ricard and thought he looked pretty cool so scanned around looking for a good background rather than the busy street I was on. I headed off in front of Ricard till I passes this little alleyway then turned and stopped him.

Ricard is from Barcelona and works in edinburgh as a CAD designer. He works for a company that make industrial ovens, primarily used for smoking food produce, so next time you have some smoked fish, meat or cheese it could be one of Ricard ovens that were used.

If you look in Ricard, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Ben Youngs-

I was at a local microbrewery when Delilah DeWilde and her band set up for a show. I was blown away by her rockabilly music! It was a great sound! She was playing the upright bass and singing, acocmpanied by a funky guitar player (Lee Harvey) and a gent playing a small drumset, though I didn't get his name.

During a break, I aproached Delilah, explained my strangers project and she agreed to the portrait. As I was snapping a few shots straight on, she struck this pose on her own, and I feel it captures her funky style as well as I know it.

Turns out she is a CAD designer, and gigs on the side with the band... though I wouldn't call it much of a side job - she said she did 145 shows last year!! Sounds like more than a hobby & it shows in her music.

As I listened to the rest of her show, I kept looking over these pics deciding which one I would post... so here you go!

We are proud to announce that we are welcoming retired professional skateboarder Charlie Wilkins into the Spohn Ranch family as our new full-time CAD designer. We met Charlie this past summer as we were working with Alli Sports on the Dew Tour and immediately knew he would be a great fit.

While many know him from his Judas Priest-inspired onslaught in Maple’s “Black Cat”, Charlie’s involvement in skateboarding goes way beyond magazine spreads and video parts. Since turning pro in 1996, Charlie has spent several years as a World Cup Skateboarding judge, course designer and builder for the Dew Tour and instructor at countless skateboarding camps. With 20+ years of skateboarding under his belt, we are extremely excited to see his passion, creativity and well-rounded experience influence our work!

Walking, standing and kneeling are all a lot easier on this exceptional non-skid surface. Hardware, gas cans and rope barrels won’t slide all over the place any more either.

Another great feature often overlooked is the glare reduction. Here in the intense Florida sun the glare from a bright white fiberglass deck can be pretty severe. We went with a 6mm storm gray over black color combination that all but eliminates the bulk of the deck glare. This can be an important advantage when trying to keep your eyes on a customer in trouble miles offshore or scanning for water hazards in high seas.

While probably a much more important feature in fishing applications, SeaDek’s sound dampening characteristics will be a welcomed bonus on this Mako. From engine noise to clunking hardware, our pads will help provide a quitter ride.

As a finishing touch we added some inlaid Tow Boat U.S. logos up in the forward cockpit area and some SeaDek logos in the rear. In made-to-order custom applications we can add boat names, graphics and logos in a variety of sizes and color combinations. We can even cut your favorite fish right into your pads or add a fish ruler to a set of SeaDek coaming bolsters.

Finally we’d like to thank a few of our employees who put in extra time and effort for this project. Johnny Law did an incredible job of scanning and templating this boat. All of the cleats and hardware made his job a bit challenging, but the fit and finish was outstanding. Thanks to the CAD designer on this project, Michael Williams and thanks to the guys out on the production floor for all of their hard work every day of the week.

Several weeks ago we began a project in cooperation with Tow Boat U.S. and Boat U.S. Magazine. Captain Scott Stebleton, owner/operator of Tow Boat U.S. Daytona, brought in his 1977 Mako 26. She’s a workhorse of a boat who spends a lot of time on the water helping boaters in need. Whether it be towing a boat with engine trouble or just bringing some gas for a dry tank, this boat gets the job done. But getting the job done means bumps and bruises, chips and cracks, and that’s where SeaDek comes in.

Our mission was to cover up those old worn decks and give this Mako a facelift. But in doing so we also provided some great practical features as well. Once installed, our EVA SeaDek material provides a safer more comfortable working surface.
