CAMPBELL, Marie (Terry) 1932 - 2018

Marie Louise Therese Campbell (nee Lafreniere), age 85, died at Red Deer Re-gional Hospital on Sunday, March 4, 2018. Born September 3, 1932, in Edmonton, Alberta, Terry lived her entire life in Alberta. Terry met her husband Edward Ken-neth Campbell (Ken) in High River, Alberta. Ken and Terry had one child, Les, in 1952 and moved to Calgary shortly after. Terry lived in Calgary from 1955 until 2016, when she moved to Red Deer to be closer to Les. Terry was a very proud small business owner as she owned a Hair Salon out of her home. Terry enjoyed camping in the family RV and would often travel to attend car club meets through-

out the western provinces and states. Known as one who always put others before herself, Terry opened her home to many over the years and would quickly jump at an opportunity to help someone out. Known uni-versally as "Gramma", friends and family alike will miss Terry dearly. Survivors include her son Les (Sharon), grandchildren Cody (Cam) Ward and Brandon (Amanda) Campbell and great- grandchildren Nolan, Nyla and Brady. Terry also enjoyed a close relationship with extended family members Glenna Campbell, Greg Cornell and family, Brad Cornell and family, Darryl Hemstreet and family and many, many others.

Windshield Wipers History Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windscreen_wiper

Early versions The first designs for the windscreen wiper are credited to Polish concert pianist Józef Hofmann, and Mills Munitions, Birmingham who also claimed to have been the first to patent windscreen wipers in England. At least three inventors patented windscreen cleaning devices at around the same time in 1903; Mary Anderson, Robert Douglass, and John Apjohn. In April 1911, a patent for windscreen wipers was registered by Sloan & Lloyd Barnes, patent agents of Liverpool, England, for Gladstone Adams of Whitley Bay. American inventor Mary Anderson is popularly credited with devising the first operational windshield wiper in 1903.[1][2] In Anderson's patent, she called her invention a "window cleaning device" for electric cars and other vehicles. Operated via a lever from inside a vehicle, her version of windshield wipers closely resembles the windshield wiper found on many early car models. Anderson had a model of her design manufactured, then filed a patent (US 743,801) on June 18, 1903 that was issued to her by the US Patent Office on November 10, 1903.[3][4] A similar device is recorded 3 months prior to Anderson's patent, with Robert A Douglass filing a patent for a "locomotive-cab-window cleaner" on 12 March 1903.[5] Irish born inventor James Henry Apjohn (1845–1914) patented an "Apparatus for Cleaning Carriage, Motor Car and other Windows" which was stated to use either brushes or wipers and could be either motor driven or hand driven. The brushes or wipers were intended to clean either both up and down or in just one direction on a vertical window. Apjohn's invention had a priority date in the UK of 9 October 1903.[6] John R. Oishei (1886-1968) formed the Tri-Continental Corporation in 1917. This company introduced the first windshield wiper, Rain Rubber, for the slotted, two-piece windshields found on many of the automobiles of the time. Today Trico Products is one of the world's leading manufacturers of windshield wiping systems, windshield wiper blades and refills, with wiper plants on five continents.[citation needed] Bosch has the world's big-gest windscreen wiper factory in Tienen, Belgium, which produces 350,000 wiper blades every day.[7] Inventor William M. Folberth and his brother, Fred, applied for a patent for an automatic windscreen wiper apparatus in 1919, which was granted in 1922. It was the first automatic mechanism to be developed by an American, but the original invention is attributed by others to Hawaiian, Ormand Wall.[8] Trico later settled a patent dispute with Folberth and purchased Folberth's Cleveland company, the Folberth Auto Specialty Co. The new vacuum-powered system quickly became standard equipment on automobiles, and the vacuum prin-ciple was in use until about 1960. In the late 1950s, a feature common on modern vehicles first appeared, op-erating the wipers automatically for two or three passes when the windshield washer button was pressed, mak-ing it unnecessary to manually turn the wipers on as well. Today, an electronic timer is used, but originally a small vacuum cylinder mechanically linked to a switch provided the delay as the vacuum leaked off. Intermittent wipers The inventor of intermittent wipers might have been Raymond Anderson who, in 1923, proposed an electro-mechanical design. (US Patent 1,588,399). In 1958, Oishei et al. filed a patent application describing electro-mechanical, thermal and hydraulic designs. (US Patent 2,987,747). Then in 1961 John Amos, an engineer for the UK automotive engineering company Lucas Industries, filed in the UK the first patent application for a solid-state electronic design. (See US patent 3,262,042). In 1963, another form of intermittent wiper was invented by Robert Kearns, an engineering professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.[1] Kearns's design was intended to mimic the function of the hu-man eye, which blinks only once every few seconds. In 1963, Kearns built his first intermittent wiper system using off-the-shelf electronic components. In the Kearns design, the interval between wipes was determined by the rate of current flow into a capacitor. When the charge in the capacitor reached a certain voltage, the ca-pacitor was discharged, activating the wiper motor for one cycle. Kearns showed his wiper to the Ford Motor

Company, and proposed manufacturing the design. Ford executives rejected Kearns' proposal, but later offered a similar design as an option on the company's Mercury line, beginning with the 1969 models.[1] Kearns sued Ford in a multi-year patent dispute that Kearns eventually won in court,[9] inspiring the 2009 film Flash of Genius. In March 1970, Citroën introduced rain-sensitive intermittent windscreen wipers on their SM model. When the intermittent function was selected, the wiper would make one swipe. If the windscreen was relatively dry, the wiper motor drew high current, which set the control circuit timer to delay the next wipe longest. If the motor drew little current, it indicated that the glass was wet, setting the timer to minimize the delay. Power Wipers may be powered by a variety of means, although most in use today are powered by an electric motor through a series of mechanical components, typically two 4-bar linkages in series or parallel. Vehicles with air operated brakes sometimes use pneumatic wipers, powered by tapping a small amount of pressurized air from the brake system to a small air operated motor mounted on or just above the windscreen. These wipers are activated by opening a valve which allows pressurized air to enter the motor. Early wipers were often driven by a vacuum motor powered by manifold vacuum. This had the drawback that manifold vacuum varies depending on throttle position, and is almost non-existent under wide-open throttle, when the wipers would slow down or even stop. This problem was overcome somewhat by using a combined fuel/vacuum booster pump. Some cars, mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, had hydraulically driven wipers, most notably the '61-'69 Lin-coln Continental.[10] On the earlier Citroën 2CV, the windscreen wipers were powered by a purely mechanical system, a cable con-nected to the transmission; to reduce cost, this cable also powered the speedometer. The wipers' speed was therefore variable with car speed. When the car was waiting at an intersection, the wipers were not powered, but a handle under the speedometer allowed the driver to power them by hand.[

CAR OF THE MONTH – MARCH 2018 SAFE at Any Reasonable Speed

By Bob Stevens Photos Courtesy of Michel Gelinas

This month’s featured APAC vehicle is a 1964 Corvair Monza convertible owned by APAC members Su-sanne and Michel Gelinas. The Corvair was first introduced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1960 model year. It was the first American mass-produced car to utilize a rear, air-cooled engine. A search of the serial number shows that it was manufactured in Willow Run, Detroit, and has been referred to as the “Waterless Wonder from Willow Run”. Michel and Susanne bought the car in March of 1998, “sight unseen” (except for some photos) from its pre-vious owner in Montreal, who had acquired it in Palm Springs 4 years previously. They flew to Montreal in May of that year, and drove it 3200 miles back to Calgary. When purchased, it showed a total of 17,000 miles on the odometer (due to the lack of a 6th digit on the odometer, it was on its second rotation and actu-ally had been driven 117,000 miles). During an trip to the Saskatoon International Meet in 1999, the engine failed, and it had to be towed back to Calgary from Kindersly, Saskatchewan (by a Ford – how embarrassing!). Upon teardown, Michel discov-ered that the engine had extensive damage to the aluminum head from a dropped valve seat including pieces of the valve seat embedded in the piston. With the help of a former APAC member, a replacement engine was found and completely rebuilt by Michel in his basement (one good reason to have a walk-out basement). The odometer showed 24,000 miles when the engine was rebuilt, and now reads 59,000. Michel does all of the maintenance and mechanical work on the car. The car was repainted in 2008, and Michel says he be-lieves it has likely had some other restoration work done before 1998. Michel and Susanne have enjoyed many memorable trips in this fun, classic car, including the initial trip back to Calgary from Montreal, as well as attending various events such as the International Meet in Kelowna (1998); part-way to the Saskatoon International (1999); the Corvair Society of America in Ventura, California (2008); Denver Convention (2011); the Tacoma, Washington Convention (2014); and numerous local APAC events. Some memorable events recalled by Michel on these trips include (minor) fuel pump vapor-lock problems in the Colorado Rockies and a broken clutch pedal bracket on the Tacoma rally (ably repaired with some welding by an event attendee in the hotel parking lot!). No discussion of the Corvair would be complete without mentioning the 1965 “blockbuster” book by Ameri-can consumer crusader Ralph Nader titled “Unsafe at Any Speed”. Although the book devoted only one chapter to the Corvair, it documented numerous lawsuits against General Motors claiming that the vehicle was not safe to drive. Although the US Department of Transport subsequently issued a report in 1971 docu-menting testing conducted on the Corvair and its performance against competitive contemporary vehicles, and determined that it was not especially unsafe, the damage to the Corvair’s reputation was done, and by its final model year in 1969 production had declined to only 6,000 units. The allegation of unsafe design was related to its non-conventional rear-engine design and weight distribu-tion (38% front/62% rear), as well as the “swing axel” rear suspension, which caused the outboard rear wheel to “tuck under” at extreme angles and lose traction in a tight corner. A significant improvement to the rear suspension was made for the 1964 model year, incorporating softer coil springs and a transverse leaf spring, which limited the rear wheel camber, resulting in greatly improved handling, and reduced the car’s tendency to “oversteer”. A front anti-roll bar was also included in the 1964 design. Then, the second-generation Corvair introduced in 1965 included a completely redesigned rear suspension with fully inde-pendent link-type suspension with dual control arms (similar to the contemporary Corvette) that kept the rear wheels from tilting when the suspension flexed.

In spite of the DOT’s 1971 report, and the re-design of 1964 and subsequent years’ rear sus-pensions, the fallout from Nader’s book lingers to this day, with Corvair’s selling for very rea-

sonable values – even the most-desirable con-vertibles.

When introduced, it was truly an innovative de-sign, with the rear engine (to eliminate the

driveshaft hump and improve passenger space), Fisher Body Division’s first “unibody” design, and the aluminum engine.

Firefighter's Museum story by Mark Tomlinson

Despite some unforeseen issues that delayed the event invitation, a small group of APAC folks spent a Satur-day morning on February 24 checking out the fine displays at the Firefighter’s Museum of Calgary. Heather and Brian were excellent hosts, helping describe the displays and providing historical context for the equipment and trucks on exhibit. The museum has a tremendous amount of artifacts and rotates displays, mak-ing every visit a little different. The appetite developed through the morning was then ably satisfied with a trip down to see Donny at the Glendeer Circle A&W for some teen burgers, onion rings and, of course, delicious root beer. Thank you to everyone who made the time to come out!
