Two different yard jobs blur past my location at a whopping 10 MPH. One shoving back into the yard, and another pulling a cut of cars out. Meanwhile storm clouds seem to threaten the area, but produce no results.

Lincoln Zephyr (1937)
* Designer: John Tjaarda
* Displacement: 4380 cc
* Power: 110 CV

Henry Ford's sun Edsel, who was in charge of the company's LINCOLN division, was the first to introduce a marketable, mass-produced streamlined automobile: the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr.
Sweeping the market like a storm, the aerodynamic design suddenly turned into an international fashion trend.

The evocative shape of the streamlined Typ C must have caused a sensation in 1937. Afterward, and especially in the post war period, the curves of this car found their way onto production cars. That's because this Auto Union was specially shaped for top speed on the Avus circuit near Berlin. At the time, it was the fastest track in the world.
In 1937, Avus was facing competition from the Norisring in Nuremberg. To garner more attention, the Avus' simple layout was extended to include a high speed 43° banked turn made from brick. This launched right onto the main straight, letting cars reach nearly 248.40 mph (400 kph).
The Internationales Avus Rennen main event was held and the organizers invited record-breaking cars from both Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz. Both companies developed their cars thoroughly and did multiple tests on Avus before the race. At the time, Avus was ultimate race track and also the most dangerous. Since there was no fence at the top of the curve, it got nicknamed the 'Wall of Death'. This didn't stop 18 brave drivers from entering the race and 300,000 to 400,000 people showed up for the fastest pre-war race ever run.
The race was split into three seven-lap sprints with grids of only six or eight cars. Four streamliners were included and evenly simple split between Mercedes and Auto Union. They raced alongside the regular-season Grand Prix cars. Naturally, the Streamliners had a distinct advantage on the two long straights at Avus but the GP cars had the edge on the joining curves. At the start, Caracciola in the Mercedes and Rosemeyer in the Auto Union had a great battle. This lasted until the last lap when they were side-by-side. In the end Caracciola won just 0.7 seconds in front of Rosemeyer.
The second heat was much faster, with Brauchitsch and Fagioli in dueling streamliners. Fagioli retired with transmissions problems which left Von Brauchitsch and Mercedes the easy win. The other Mercedes-Benz Streamliner of Herman Lang suffered a tire failure at speed and Lang was lucky to keep the car straight enough to survive.
The third and final heat decided the overall victor with a combined group from the first two races. Four Streamliners were entered Brauchitsch, Caracciola and Lang in Mercedes against Rosemeyer in the Auto Union. He didn't stand a chance since his V16 was only running on 13 cylinders and he was well outnumbered. Eventually, Lang went on the win entire event. This would be the only time someone would score a victory using the full track, as it was deemed to dangerous to repeat in 1938.
By 1937, Auto Union had been actively making streamlined record cars for three years. Their first attempt was with a long-tail Typ A and later a striking Rekordwagen Typ Lucca Coupe was made. Auto Union might have considered using these designs in a a normal Grand Prix race, but this never happened. A streamlined Typ D did show up at Reims for the 1938 French GP but crashed heavily during practice. This car might have had a shorter tail than the record car pictured above.
Unfortunately, the only record of these cars exists in pictures. A replica of 1937 Avus car was made to exact specification for Audi Tradition.

Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
jefferey.l.troth.mil@mail.mil
CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Logistics ran the Central Issue Facility at Camp Hovey and the transportation motor pools that provide buses and vehicle maintenance in Warrior Country.
They did that as part of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, of which USAG Red Cloud and Area I is a part.
But, effective Oct. 1, all Army DOL assets shifted from IMCOM to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is a global command that supports Army logistics worldwide.
The shift plugs in the DOL to AMC’s global logistics network.
And in Warrior Country, DOL is now part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade Area I, said DOL director Dennis Williams.
For Warrior Country customers, that’ll mean that when one of the 403rd AFSB’s facilities in Warrior Country runs low on an item – helmets or vehicle parts – for example, they can be shipped from another facility that does have them, even one in, say, Japan, Williams said.
The transition will not pose any confusion or inconvenience for DOL customers, he said.
“For Area I it will be transparent,” he said. “The services we did yesterday are the same services that we’ll do today and tomorrow.”
The Area I DOL marked the shift to AMC with a low-key patch-and-pin ceremony Oct. 3 at Camp Casey’s Carey Fitness Center.
There, DOL’s Soldiers traded in their seven-sided IMCOM patch for the shield-shaped AMC patch, while civilians received an AMC lapel pin.
“On behalf of the Army Materiel Command I want to welcome you to the new AMC family,” Col. Michael Lopez, commander of the 403rd AFSB, said during the ceremony.
For the more than 300 DOL Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians and Korean civilians in Warrior Country, the 403rd AFSB is now their higher headquarters. But, they’re not alone. On Oct. 1, the 403rd also took command and control of all DOLs in Korea, Japan and Okinawa.
The changeover process was set in motion in March 2005 when the leadership of IMCOM and AMC decided to develop a logistics partnership to improve support to the Army and the Army’s transformation plan.

Happy Anniversary, Honey (These are from my souvenir Rail Art playing cards deck that I've shared between my b.d. earlier this month and today our anniversary - the reason for the big 3 week UK trip :>)
The American Freedom Train's locomotive, Southern Pacific GS-4 class # 4449, a modern streamlined oil burning 4-8-4 Northern, is shown in a front view with one of it's main rods down at the SCL-Amtrak (former ACL) station in Saint Petersburg, Florida, during December 1976. There was a mechanical problem with the main pin that is used to connect the main rod to the alligator crosshead and it needed to be repaired. A local machine shop in the area performed the mechanical work on the pin and shortly the problem was solved.
Virginia & Truckee Railroad McKeen Motor Car No. 22. This unique self-propelled train car was built in 1910 by the McKeen Motor Car Company of Omaha, Nebraska. It had a very sleek, streamlined look for it's day, including a wind resistant front nose. Sold for scrap in 1946, for many years the body was part of a local plumbing store in Carson City. It has recently been restored to its former glory.

In 1935, Nigel Gresley designed the Silver Jubilee, a train that became a design icon of the 1930s. Its silver streamlined form streaked between London and Newcastle in four hours. This poster was produced for London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote the service, which travelled at an average speed of 67.08 mph.
An all-new streamlined appearance, commonly called ponton, was offered by Packard, and the Series 22 Custom Super Eight replaced the Custom Super Clipper and was the top-level trim package sedan, limousine and convertible. The "free-flow" slab-sided appearance was shared with all Packards and senior trim levels could be distinguished with an egg-crate grille, and horizontal bars below the traditional "ox-yoke" grille that wrapped around to the front wheel opening. The overall appearance was distinctive, with Packard winning several awards for the design, including the "Fashion Car of the Year" from the New York Fashion Academy.
The "Winged Goddess" cormorant hood ornament was introduced, intended to evoke the popular appearance from Packards of the 1930s. The 2-door Club Sedan was joined with the first convertible offered since 1942, called the Victoria Convertible Model 2259, and was available with the Super and Custom Super trim packages. Custom Super trim packages could be identified by having two stainless steel body trim at the bottom edge of the body, while Super trim did not have them after 1949.

The 1934 Briggs “Dream Car” served as an inspiration for the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr. It was a streamlined rear-engine concept car with an all steel monocoque body conceived by automotive designer and stylist, John Tjaarda in his “Sterkenburg Series” for the Ford Motor Company’s entry to the Century of Progress Exhibit at the 1933-1934 Chicago World’s Fair. Edsel Ford decided to use this concept car as the basis for a new medium price Lincoln starting with the 1936 model year as the Zephyr. The production 1936 Lincoln was a front engine car with a V-12. Edsel Ford appointed his chief stylist, Eugene “Bob” Gregorie to rework the front end of the concept car along with further refinements made to the rest of the body for the production car.
The 1936 Lincoln Zephyr pictured above was formerly part of the Harrah’s Automobile Collection in Sparks, NV.
