Last weekend the motorcycle section of the Vintage Car Club of NZ ran a reliability trial and invited the Canterbury Classic Trials group to put on a demonstration and also take part in their event. The trials area also attracted members from the Vintage Club on suitable machines who tried the obstacles. These were largely man-made and included pallets (Thanks Palletmakers in ChCh), fence posts, tyres, a bank, tree stump, and logs. Due to the range of machines lined up for the reliability trial these sections were easier and included tight turns, tree roots, and banks. As well as trials bikes other contenders included trail bikes, 1970’s Vespa and Honda scooters, 1960's Royal Enfield and BMW motorcycles , 1937 Ariel, 1927 AJS, 1924 Triumph, as well as a Velosolex. A laid back and fun day mixing two groups both interested in classic motorcycles. Enjoy the photos.
Got going early this morning, but its late now… going to have to burn the midnight candle to finish this up. I’ve got the motor setup, will be running a Jeepo Valvo Recoiled Magno Strat, I will be teaming this with a Servo -T & Fragmaster Belt, I’m hoping this will give the engine a little lower down torque at 15 000rpm. This Servo-T is a power upgrade but its the reliability am concerned about, but fear not I’ll be running a Dyno Test tomorrow to test this.. Man its late, I better get some sleep. Its rather late, missed my fav show on NetBricks… oh well, a small price to pay now.
First-year PSI students learn electric safety in the brand new PSI classroom facility at Potomac Edison headquarters in Williamsport, Md.
The man who who founded and guided the Morgan car for almost fifty years, H.F.S. Morgan, began his career as the 18 year-old pupil of William Dean, Chief Engineer of the GWR Railway Works at Swindon, where he worked as a draughtsman in the drawing office of seven years. Whilst making a modest contribution to the history of steam, H.F.S.’s loyalties were divided between the locomotive and the motor car.
He left the GWR in 1906 and at the age of 25 years old, and opened a garage and motor works in Malvern Link where he ran a most successful bus service with a special 10 hp Wolseley 15 seater. These ran from Malvern Link to the Wells and later from Malvern to Gloucester. He also became the district agent for Wolseley and Darraq.
Eventually Morgan could afford to purchase a motor vehicle an Eagle Tandem. Previously he had hired his cars including the ill-fated Benz, from a Mr. Marriot, the first motor trader in Hereford. The Eagle was a three-wheeler fitted with an 8 h.p. water-cooled De Dion engine, and it was from his experiences with this machine and a 7 hp. two cylinder car called “The Little Star” that he had the idea of making his own three-wheeler.
He bought a 7 hp Twin-cylinder Peugeot engine and mounted it into a light Three-wheeled tubular chassis. The first Morgan Runabout had been born!
With very little facility for machine work in his garage, help was gratefully received from Mr. Stephenson Peach, then Engineering master at Malvern and Repton Colleges and the grandson of the designer of the “Rocket”.
The first design was successful due to its rigid frame, light weight and independent front suspension. Another important factor was the unusual power to weight ratio of 90 brake horsepower per ton, which enabled this little vehicle to accelerate as fast as any car being produced at that time.
The Morgan name made its very first public appearance at the Olympia Motor Show in 1910. Two three-wheelers, both single seaters fitted respectively with 8 hp Twin and 4 hp Single cylinder J.A.P. engines, secured some orders, but it soon became apparent that for the vehicles to be universally popular they would have to become two-seaters.
The Morgan Motor Company was formed as a private Limited Company in 1912 with the Reverend H.G. Morgan as Chairman and his son as Managing Director. The site of the first factory was on the Worcester road leading into Great Malvern. H.F.S. and his wife Ruth lived next door in a small terraced house.
From the start it was very much a family business and Mr H.F.S Morgan’s sister, Miss Dorothy Morgan, was a regular entrant in reliability trials gaining many first class awards in a Morgan three-wheeler. In 1913 a Morgan made the fastest time at the celebrated Shelsey Walsh Hill Climb at an average speed of 22 mph. And at the end of the year the Morgan Runabout had gained a greater number of awards for reliability and speed than any other Cyclecar or Light Car.
So advanced had been H.F.S. Morgan’s first designs that little alteration, apart from bodywork modifications, were required for some years. Electric lamps and starters were added and as a result of Trials experience front wheel brakes were installed. The Morgan car became one of the first in the field to enjoy this innovation. They continued to have success after success in racing and was so fast that at Brooklands it was required to start a lap behind fourwheeled cars in the same class.
Early 3 wheelers were fitted with 2 speed gearboxes with a separate chain for each ratio. In 1930 a 3 speed gearbox was fitted with a single drive chain.
1933 was a banner year for Morgan, bringing in its train a large number of world records and the advent of a new model fitted with a Ford engine. With its flat radiator this was the most popular three-wheeler ever produced and encouraged a number of firms to copy the idea.

The work is part of the company’s effort to use advanced technology to help enhance service reliability to customers. The upgrades included installing more resilient polymer fuses, adding larger 10-foot cross-arms to increase wire clearance, and installing fault indicators that help identify problem areas on a circuit which helps speed the restoration process if an outage occurs.

Penelec, a FirstEnergy utility, is installing laptop computers on more than 400 line trucks and support vehicles to enhance service and manage repair work more efficiently. Using the new laptops will help crews save time by viewing work orders electronically rather than writing the information down when radioed or phoned in from the company’s dispatching office. It is anticipated the new equipment will help company personnel calculate more precise estimated restoration times, particularly during large-scale outages, because dispatchers can immediately see when crews are on site and engaged in repairs.
Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) completed more than 160 infrastructure projects and other work in 2014 to help enhance service reliability to its 1.1 million customers in northern and central New Jersey.

Though Sikorsky's S-55 (H-19) Chickasaw was a superb helicopter, the company believed it could do better. In 1954, it offered the S-58, which lengthened the fuselage into a low tail boom and rotor assembly. To compensate for the extra weight and give it more capacity, the engine was upgraded, though it remained mounted in the nose, with the easy maintenance of the S-55. It was first offered to the US Navy as an antisubmarine/search and air rescue helicopter, the HSS-1 Seabat; soon after, it was adopted by the US Marine Corps as a troop carrier with the designation HUS-1 Seahorse. Finally, the US Army took it on as the CH-34 Choctaw. In 1962, the H-34 designation was used for all types in service.
Whatever it was called, the H-34 offered the same reliability as the Chickasaw, but with better all-around performance. The longer fuselage not only meant it could carry more passengers and cargo, it also increased crew comfort. As in the Chickasaw, the flight crew rode above the main fuselage.
When American involvement in Vietnam began in 1963, the UH-34 Seahorse was the principal helicopter of the USMC, and several squadrons were deployed. Its rugged construction and bigger engine proved to be much more reliable than the US Army's CH-21 Shawnees. Its piston engine made it less fuel efficient than the UH-1 Iroquois "Huey," but it was so well-liked by the Marines that the "HUS," as it was still known, would remain in Vietnam into 1968.
As the American drawdown from Vietnam began, the USMC retired their remaining UH-34s; the US Navy had replaced their SH-34 Seabats long since with the SH-3 Sea King, while the Army quickly replaced theirs in the early 1960s with UH-1s. The last Marine UH-34 left service in 1971. H-34s also saw combat with the French in Algeria and Israel during the Six-Day War. It was also license-produced with turboshaft propulsion in Great Britain as the Westland Wessex, which persisted in service well into the 1990s. Finally, dozens of H-34s would make it into civilian service, as commuter helicopters and for firefighting.
This UH-34D is Bureau Number 154895, one of the last Seahorses to be delivered; it joined the Marines in 1967. It would spend most of a short career with H&MS-24 at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, operating as a utility helicopter. In 1970, it was transferred stateside to NAS Meridian, Mississippi to operate as the base rescue helicopter. After only five years in service, 154895 was retired in 1972. A short time after that, it was acquired by the US Army Aviation Museum in Fort Rucker, Alabama, but never went on display, instead remaining in storage for eventual restoration. That never happened, so in 1997 it was acquired by Planes of Fame in Chino, California. Planes of Fame never had a chance to restore it either, so in 2006 154895 was picked up by the Palm Springs Air Museum.
Palm Springs partially restored 154895 as a Vietnam-era Marine CH-34, but the long decades in storage had taken a considerable toll on the airframe, so it was completely refurbished and restored recently. It looks much, much better than previously, painted as a helicopter of HMM-362 ("Ugly Angels"); HMM-362's Seahorses, based at Soc Trang, were nicknamed "Husses" and used the callsign Shufly. The squadron had the distinction of the longest deployment to South Vietnam, beginning in 1962 and lasting until the squadron went home in 1969.
FirstEnergy expects to invest about $135 million in 2017 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects to help enhance service reliability for its customers in Potomac Edison’s service area in western Maryland and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
Pictured: Potomac Edison crews install cross arms and other equipment to one of 300 utility poles for a new line in Hardy County, West Virginia. The new line is part of a $5 million project designed to improve electric service reliability for about 2,200 customers in and around the communities of Baker and Mathias and is on track to be completed later this year.
