Greetings from the
Chico Concours d'Elegance
Board of Directors
Welcome to the Thirty-sixth Annual Chico Concours
d’Elegance. We hope you will have a most enjoyable day with
us and return for the event again next year.
Chico Concours d’Elegance, Inc., a nonprofit organization,
was established to direct and coordinate community service
organizations in all that is necessary to bring to the community
a Concours of truly beautiful automobiles. This event has been
made possible through the efforts of a great many people.
We would like to thank Butte Creek Country Club for
sponsoring the Chico Concours d'Elegance and allowing us
to use their beautiful facility for this event.
We are all proud of the Chico Concours d’Elegance and of
our community. We invite participants and observers alike to
have a splendid day appreciating, reminiscing, wishing and
thinking aloud, “Wow! I had a chance to buy one of those back in...”
Please enjoy the day, the show, and the fine people of the
Chico area. •

Nothing New: 7 modern car technologies
that are actually 100 years old
By David Traver Adolphus, blog.hemmings.com

1. Turbocharging
The idea of turbo-compressing seems to come from the 1890s and
became widely known in less than a decade, starting around 1900.
By about 1905, centrifugal compression was in use in marine engines
and other heavy-duty applications. That same year, Swiss engineer
Dr. Alfred Büchi patented an exhaust-driven turbocharger in what
we’d consider a modern configuration.
England and France were the hotbeds of turbo research, however,
with a large variety of engine configurations and external devices,
all creating forced induction. The word “turbo” itself appears more
than a century ago, on the English device shown (I haven’t been
able to learn more about it). Sold as an add-on, we’d probably call
it a supercharger today, as it was driven by a shaft from a friction
wheel in contact with the flywheel. Actually, we’d probably call it
a waste of money, as it couldn’t possibly have had any benefit, but
the idea was sound.
That’s not to say Americans didn’t have the idea of turning a turbine
with exhaust gas; devices such as the High exhaust motor replaced
the flywheel, hypothetically returning force directly to the crankshaft.
Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg, among others, used supercharged
forced induction before World War II, sometimes to great success,
but exhaust-driven turbocharging had to wait for the Corvair to see
mass production.
2. Hybrids
This is my favorite early technology, and, no mistake, it is very early.
The 1900 Lohner-Porsche petrol-electric – which had a Mercedes
or Panhard four-cylinder connected to a dynamo, powering two
front-wheel hub motors – is certainly the most famous, but despite
repeated efforts, hub motors have yet to see practical production. But
there were innumerable others with other solutions, one of which,
Rambler, had what seems to have turned out to be THE solution:
Integrated motor assist.
Rambler developed a motor/generator to replace the flywheel,
originally simply as a starter. Early starters were enormous and heavy,
but by connecting the new unit directly to the crankshaft in the 1912’13 (I think) Cross Country, they simplified things. Made by United
States Heating and Lighting Company (U.S.L.), it was completely
automated: It functioned as a motor when starting, drawing from a
24-volt storage battery, then switched to generator mode when the
engine engaged, with a regulator to prevent overcharging. The big
spinning armature served as the flywheel.
So far, this is just a clever starter, but there was one difference:
Because there was no gear reduction, you could safely use it to get
the car under way. In fact, taking the car up to about 5 MPH before
starting seems to have been a preferred way of getting it going.
That’s right: At low speeds, it was an electric, then switched to gas.
Right down to the location of the generator, this is the way a Honda
Insight works today.
Even that wasn’t original – in about 1898, both Pieper in Belgium
and Patton Motor Co. in Chicago had electric assist: A small engine
was kept running at constant speed, driving a dynamo and charging
a battery. When conditions demanded more power than the engine
4
was putting out – hillclimbing, for instance, the dynamo automatically switched to assist mode.
3. Power brakes
When you drive an early car for the first time, the weak brakes
make themselves known immediately. You’re forgiven for thinking
they were an afterthought, but the issue was actually the tires. Even
a skimpy contracting band could lock up slick three-inch-wide rubber, but that didn’t mean there weren’t inventors thinking up better
solutions than rods and leather belts. Like hydraulic power brakes.
That there is the master cylinder from John Unser’s 1904 patent
(#794,382) for hydraulic brakes. “Hydraulic,” in this case, meant
“operated by the pressure of air or other similar fluid”; his pump and
reservoir could be adapted for liquids. For traction engines, there
was even an outlet at the end to hook up to your trailer, like you do
with a Perterbilt today. This stuff doesn’t spring up out of whole
cloth, and I could undoubtedly find someone discussing the use of
some rail-braking mechanism for road trains, but you get the idea.
4. Disc brakes
Because clutch disc brakes were in common use, it’s been very tricky
to pin down the first application of wheel disc brakes. However, the
earliest version is acknowledged to be the F.W. Lanchester’s 1902
patent, and by 1903, it was being used very successfully in Lanchester
automobiles. Given Fred Lanchester’s background and track record
of startling invention, it entirely possible he came up with the idea.
By 1915, Metz was offering a hub-mounted version of multiplate
disc clutch brakes, and Scottish make Argyl had four-wheel internal
expanding drums. Lanchester’s experment didn’t last long, but French
automakers started playing around with discs again in the Twenties.
5. Fuel injection
Because there was continual interest in oil-burning engines, fuel
injection and direct injection were known quantities. The trouble,
as manufacturers relearned in the Fifties, is that mechanical fuel
injection requires precise timing and metering, and expensive, close
tolerance machining. It was first developed in European stationary
engines in the early 1890s, and developed for automobiles and other
vehicles around the turn of the century – the Wright brothers rather
famously made it work in 1903. In America, it was really limited to a
small number of independents at the time; however, as there wasn’t
enough money in the industry to support a sufficiently developed
field of inquiry. In France, M. Levassor had running fuel-injected
automobiles by 1903, and may even have sold some for road use.
That was no longer true a few years later, and by around 1907,
there were experimental fuel-injected cars running. To address the
troubling issue of preignition, many, if not all, were two-strokes,
and alcohol was often used; this was much less of a problem in the
already well-established kerosene (Diesel) engines. By 1910, fuel
injection was widely discussed even among laymen, and everyone
expected that the problems would be ironed out soon. But it really
wasn’t until the Thirties that it became widely available in the U.S.,
and then only as speed parts.

Chico State Graduate, Art Educator
& Chico Artist Mike Simpson
“At the end of my 34 year career of teaching
art at Chico High School, I discovered a new
way to express my artistic interests. By using a
digital camera, graphics pen and tablet, and a
computer, I could incorporate all the principles
and elements of design, composition and color
into a finished piece of work having all the tools
of an artist at my disposal. It was challenging to
master the technologies in the same way that it
had been challenging to create my best watercolor,
oil painting, wood carving, or piece of stained
glass during my career. One of the great things
about being an artist is that there are endless
opportunities to learn, explore, and express. The
canvas always starts out empty…”
A graduate of Chico State College in 1968,
Mike Simpson was hired to teach art and coach
wrestling at Chico High School. He retired as
head of the art department in 2002. Three
years prior to his retirement, he developed an
art curriculum that taught the fundamentals of
art through the use of a computer, software, and
graphics tablet rather than traditional methods.
The students were excited to learn this new,
cutting-edge, manner of expression and anxious

His love of digital photography, Northern California, and vintage automobiles led to his reputation as a master of pristine landscapes and automobile art. His collection of art prints can be seen

Sports Car Club of America,
SCCA - San Francisco
Sports Car Club of America the SCCA, was founded in 1944 and
now has a membership exceeding 50,000. The SCCA’s San Francisco
Region encompasses the area from Fresno to the Oregon border.
The Concours d’Elegance division of the SCCA, furnished judges,
along with a Scoring team and a Field Crew to help put on an event
of highly completive vehicles where strict judging takes into consideration the presentation, appearance, condition, authenticity and
the original condition of each vehicle entered into the show. On
the day of the event, each vehicle is examined by a team of judges
who look at the engine, chassis, interior and exterior. The judging
team faces very difficult task of objectivity while efficiently scoring
well restored and prepared motor vehicles.
As each auto is being inspected, the owner must start the vehicle
and turn on lights, blinkers and brake lights. Windows must be
put up and down, doors opened and closed. The condition of the
paint, chrome, carpets, upholstery and the top are inspected and
the engine compartment is checked for water, oil or fuel leaks and
the condition of the wiring.
Each entry begins with a perfect score of 100 points. Judges then
deduct points for any flaws found. Depending on the severity of
12
the flaw, from one to five points may be deducted. Each vehicle is
judged on its own merits, rather than on a competitive basis, and
the entry with the highest score in each class wins first place. In a
Scca-sanctioned Concours, a vehicle must have at least 80 points to
win first place, 70 points to win second and 60 points to win third
place in class. All first place class winners are in consideration for
Best-of-Show.
In 2008, the Concours Division began granting the Championship
Award. Points are awarded for attending each Sanctioned Concours,
for receiving a class trophy and being judged Best-Of-Show. The
automobile that accumulates the greatest number of points at the
end of the Concours season wins the award. As well, the winning
owner is presented with a custom-designed gold ring, identifying
him/her as the championship winning automobile’s owner. The
Championship Award is given at the Niello Concours at Serrano,
held the first weekend in October.
The SCCA is actively seeking new judges, field crew workers
and scoring assistants, if you are interested, please contact Chief
of Concours, Ed Therrien at
[email protected] or at
(510) 670-4700. •

Nothing New: 7 modern car technologies
- continued from page 4 -
6. Rotary and turbine engines
Rotaries of every possible configuration abounded in the 1800s;
the idea had been around for centuries, and Pecquer’s self-propelled
1828 steam wagon was a rotary, probably turbine style. They were, in
fact everywhere. Most were rotaries in the sense that, familiar from
rotary piston aircraft, the pistons revolved around the crankshaft
while reciprocating; the other class were turbines.
Single-rotor steam engines were, if not common, at least a known
line of inquiry. Adding combustion to a rotating chamber was something else. But in the 1890s a few played around with the idea of
abandoning pistons altogether, for a Wankel-style rotor. All of these
inventors are obscure to the point that I have no idea who they were,
but the 110-plus-year-old combustion engines of Chaudin, Garnder
and Sanderson, Batley, Vernet, Dodement and Beetz are recognizably
non-reciprocating rotaries.
Some experts saw the reciprocating piston gas engine as a stopgap,
assuming that within a few years the problems with turbines – the
same ones as with fuel injection – would be ironed out and soon
become the automobile powerplant of choice.
7. Automatic transmissions
The earliest automatics were more properly CVTs, some form
of variable ratio transmissions, often using belts or flywheels. An
automatic tension belt design from Europe, using a belt and spur
gears, appeared in 1900, and there were numerous friction-drive
vehicles available right along, where power was transmitted through
the action of one wheel to another at right angles. So from a “you
don’t have to shift” perspective, automatics are as old as the car.
But in 1901, the patented Shattuck Variable Gear transmission
debuted in Minneapolis. The driver did still need to shift, but the
actual gear change was theoretically automatic – no clutching needed.
At the same time, planetary transmissions, as popularized by the
Model T, were well along in development. All that was needed was
the torque converter, which was 20 years away.
So interest turned to electric transmissions. As in some of the
hybrids, a motor-generator was placed behind the engine in the
drivetrain, and a magnetic clutch was often used to further simplify
operation. The simplest systems, like the R.M. Owen unit above,
didn’t use large accumulators; they were designed to be driven solely
by the engine, but without the need for shifting; all you had to do
was flip the switch to disengage it at a stop. A very similar system
was used in the production 1907 Columbia gas-electric.
Work on automatics continued unabated, and by 1923 you could
hook your Voisin-Lavaud automatic to an English Constantinesco
torque converter.
By 1910, there was no reason a person with sufficient ambition, skill
and resources couldn’t have assembled a supercharged, fuel-injected
hybrid with an automatic transmission and four-wheel hydraulic
discs. But something like that would never fly. •

A TRUSTED PIONEER SINCE 1921
Our company's roots have always been in recycling and employee
ownership. The original "scavengers" sorted through society's refuse
to find what was salvageable. We rewashed, repackaged, and sold
bottles to wineries. We sorted rags and papers from other refuse and
before synthetic fibers, clothes were also repurposed. Wood, food
scraps, and all other reusable materials found their next best use.
THE EARLY YEARS
The original Bay Area garbage men, or "scavengers", came to San
Francisco from Italy in the late 19th century. At that time, scavenging
in San Francisco was a disorderly and inefficient business. Hundreds
of independent collectors competed for business. The 1906 earthquake
and fire temporarily improved business, but did little to bring order
to the chaos of garbage collection.
A PROUD HISTORY OF ENTERPRISE & INNOVATION
Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, several loose confederations of scavengers began to form. This brought a semblance
of organization to the scavenger trade in San Francisco. By the
early 1920s, two major refuse companies had emerged: Scavenger's
Protective Association and Sunset Scavenger Company. In 1921,
San Francisco began regulating the scavenger service, and by the
mid-1930s began setting rates and requiring permits for operation.
Scavenger's Protective Association and Sunset Scavenger Company
were given exclusive refuse collection licenses for the city. These
licenses are still held today.
Scavenger's Protective Association--the predecessor to Golden Gate
Disposal & Recycling Company--developed expertise in commercial
and dense residential areas, while Sunset Scavenger Company invented new ways to collect refuse in residential neighborhoods. Both
enterprises expanded as California grew. Customer service always
remained a top priority.
1935-1985: A FIRM FOUNDATION
In 1935, the city's two collection companies formed Sanitary
Fill Company (today known as Recology San Francisco), the first
of a number of jointly owned specialized subsidiaries. Sanitary Fill
Company's charter was to develop disposal capacity for the increasingly large amount of refuse that was overwhelming San Francisco.
18
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, both San Francisco collection
companies grew and expanded their services to keep pace with the
city's growth. In 1965, as part of a modernization program, Scavenger's Protective Association changed its name to Golden Gate
Disposal & Recycling Company. Sunset continued to operate from
a site that had previously been a landfill, near the San Francisco/
San Mateo County line.
Between 1973 and 1982, affiliated collection companies were acquired by Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling Company and Sunset
Scavenger Company to develop techniques in the specialized field of
resource recovery. In 1983, in recognition of its expanding horizons,
Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling Company was reorganized as Norcal Solid Waste Systems just as Sunset had become Envirocal in 1973.
1986 - PRESENT: 90 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION
In 1986, Norcal was sold to its 570 employees and their Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to ensure Norcal's independence and
to continue a more than sixty-year tradition of employee ownership.
Envirocal also began exploring the possibility of creating an ESOP.
In 1987, Norcal purchased Envirocal. With the merger of the two
companies, Norcal became one of the nation's ten largest 100 percent
employee-owned companies, with a substantial minority representation among its shareholders.
In the early 1990s, Norcal streamlined its operations and initiated
changes that strengthened the corporation's position in the market. The
changes enhanced its reputation as an aggressive & dynamic company.
On April 27, 2009, Norcal Waste Systems, Inc. formally changed
its name to Recology Inc. to reflect its existing culture and commitment to sustainable practices.
Recology is an integrated resource recovery and landfill diversion
company, offering refuse collection, recycling, composting, transfer
station and landfill operations, and environmental services.
More than five generations ago, Recology pioneered recycling. We
recycled up to fifty percent of refuse long before recycling became
fashionable or mandated by law. Today, Recology continues its
innovative approach to resource recovery, industry leadership and
sustainable practices in the communities we serve •

About this year's Poster
For the 2014 poster design our local artist, Dean L.
Fregoso, wanted to capture the elements of the iconic 1985
Concours poster (see page 6) but with a contemporary
twist to match the theme "Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow."
No longer regulated to ink, erasers, stat cameras and
rubylith film of the past - have now been replaced with the
technology of computers, tablets, scanners and software.
This years' poster and major parts of this Souvenir
Program were produced digitally, with less time and
cost as compared with traditional printing methods. •
