Chamberlin Mill: A Woodstock Survivor

West Woodstock’s Chamberlin Mill is a rare example of a water-powered circular saw mill converted to gasoline power. A two-story post and beam structure with expansive loft, the building is supported on a high, dry-laid, field stone foundation that incorporates the penstock and turbine. This sturdy structure still houses many of the historic cast iron gears and flat belt pulleys that transferred the power of water via a turbine to the circular saw.

The mill is situated along the Still River, adjacent to Old Turnpike Road, a quiet country road that was once the Boston-Hartford Central Pike. Two connecting dammed ponds immediately north of the road provided water to power the mill’s turbine, the roadbed serving as a lower dam.

The Chamberlin Mill’s Place in History

Section of John S. Lester’s 1883 Map of Woodstock, CT. Mill is located near Woodstock’s western border, midway from top to bottom on this map. Lyman Sessions homestead, connected with the Mill, is indicated on the map.

The existing building dates to the turn of the 20th century, the latest in a succession of mill structures that have occupied the Still River site since the 18th century (when Manasseh Hosmer was granted a deed for a grist mill and saw mill). For over two centuries, beginning in the early 1800s, generations of the Sessions-Stone-Chamberlin-Tayler family owned this land, operating small-scale grist and sawmills well into the 1800s and a sawmill through the 1960s.

Historically, activities at the mill followed the seasons. The owners drew logs from surrounding woods in the winter, ran the mill through the spring when water was high, and in summer, planted crops and drew down the water level of Lower Chamberlin Pond to grow hay. Lyman Sessions, owner of the site for much of the 19th century, also ran a store and was a leader in the once-thriving Woodstock shoe industry. Other family members supplemented farming and sawmill work by building local barns and houses.

Since the sawmill continued in use through World War II, its parts were not scrapped, allowing it, unlike many of its counterparts, to remain intact. The existing building contained an 1873 Lane # 1 circular saw, as well as an early Muzzy shingle saw, a bolt saw (for cutting shingle bolts), a planer, and perhaps other related machinery. The circular saw and bolt saw survive, as do a collection of shingle bolts and shingles, an old logging sled, and other artifacts. An original large mill stone serves as a reminder of the site’s grist mill history.

Surviving Natural Disasters

The Great Flood of 1936 permanently altered how the mill functioned. Although the building itself survived, the flood surged through the mill, damaging its penstock and lower dam and ending its ability to use water power.

Unlike the Great Flood, which presented a potentially terminal disaster for the mill, the 1938 hurricane provided a bounty of felled trees and gave the mill an opportunity for renewed life. In 1939, the Chamberlins constructed a shed to house a new power source, a 1928 Studebaker President engine. For a while oxen continued to draw the logging sled to the mill, but eventually they too were replaced by a homemade motorized skidder.

After the saw mill ceased operation in the 1960s, the building remained dormant for four decades, until The Nature Conservancy purchased it from the Chamberlin family as part of a 98-acre Still River Preserve. Discussions with local history organizations led to the establishment of Chamberlin Mill, Inc., a non-profit organization, which acquired the mill and a small footprint of land in 2014. This group is revitalizing the site as a historical and educational asset.

With the support of various grants and a community of Friends and volunteers, Chamberlin Mill, Inc. has been actively restoring the structure, bringing the 1928 Studebaker engine back to life, and rebuilding the 1873 saw.

Helen Dryden

Helen Dryden (1882–1972) was an American artist and successful industrial designer in the 1920s and 1930s. She was reportedly described by the New York Times as being the highest-paid woman artist in the United States, though she lived in comparative poverty in later years.[3]

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Dryden

Fashion illustration

After moving to New York in 1909, Dryden spent a year trying to interest fashion magazines in her drawings. None, however, showed any interest in her work and many were harsh with criticism. Dryden was particularly disappointed in her rejection by Vogue. Less than a year later, however, Condé Nast Publications assumed management of Vogue and set out to make changes. Upon seeing Dryden's drawings, they directed the fashion editor to contact her immediately. The result was a Vogue contract that led to a 13-year collaboration (1909–1922) during which she produced many fashion illustrations and magazine covers.[4] Her "essentially romantic style produced some of the most appealing, yet fantastical images on Vogue covers, frequently depicting imagined rather than realistic representations of dress."[5] She also illustrated other Condé Nast titles, including Vanity Fair and House and Garden.[5]

Costume design

In addition to her prolific career as an illustrator, in 1914 Dryden launched a successful career as a costume designer. She designed scenery and costumes for the musical comedy Watch Your Step, followed by designs for several other stage plays including Clair de Lune, the fanciful drama based loosely on a Victor Hugo romance. Although the play starred Lionel and Ethel Barrymore, Helen Dryden's costume designs were generally given equal credit for the play's success.[6]

Industrial design

Following the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Dryden turned her attention to industrial design, producing a number of designs for tableware, lamps, and other housewares, for the Revere Corporation.[7] She had a highly paid job with the Dura Company until the stock market crash of 1929, at which point she was replaced by George W. Walker.[8] It seems Dryden never fully recovered from this blow. According to Christopher Gray, "The 1925 census recorded her living at 9 East 10th Street with her 25-year-old Philippine-born cook and butler, Ricardo Lampitok.

Dryden worked for Studebaker from 1935 to 1938, reportedly earning $100,000 per year.[9] Automotive designer Raymond Loewy contracted with her to help him design Studebaker interiors.[10] Her work on the interior of the 1936 Studebaker Dictator and President that established Helen Dryden as an important twentieth-century industrial designer.[11] The advertisements by the automaker proclaimed, "It's styled by Helen Dryden."[12] Dryden designed the Studebaker President throughout, and the press marveled that a woman had attained this eminence in mechanical engineering.[13] She was considered "one of the top industrial designers and one of the few women in the automotive field."[14] Dryden worked with Loewy through 1940.[10]

By 1956 Dryden was again living in a $10-a-week hotel room paid for by the city's Welfare Department. At the time, she referred nostalgically to "her '$200-a-month' 10th Street apartment".[3]

One third of the “three Ps” of luxury, the great #PierceArrow had a longer evolution than Packard or Peerless. The company was established in 1878 by George N. Pierce, who by then had been living in Buffalo, New York making birdcages and metal furniture for a decade and a half. The Pierce comapny continued making birdcages and iceboxes into the 1890s, when he switched to Bicycles and, ultimately, cars, in 1900. The Pierce car evolved into the “Pierce Great Arrow” after the cars twice won the Glidden Trophy and once, the Herkimer cup. Business was so good that Pierce, rebranded Pierce-Arrow in 1908, moved in to an an Albert Kahn-designed factory in Buffalo and sold President Taft the first Presidential Limos. Pierces had big, powerful engines, rock-solid quality, and luxurious appointments - premier luxury cars to be sure. Pierces were unusually modest in some ways - conservative styling and six-cylinder power while, during the 20s, many rivals were dropping in straight eights. Nevertheless, Pierce’s powerful “dual valve” six - with twin spark and four-valves per cylinder - was a powerful motor and large, 414 cubes in 1924. It was a favorite of prohibition-era rum runners. Pierce’s conservative choices began to hurt in the late 1920s as competitors got more cylinders, newer styling, and flashy colors - and slowing sales in a boom time drove it into the arms of Studebaker in 1928. The cash infusion allowed Pierce to develop a straight eight and a V12 and enlarge it’s dealer network, but few “synergies” (as they say now) were ever realized and Studebaker had to let Pierce go in its 1933 bankruptcy. A group of local bankers and ex-Stude exec Arthur Chanter saved the pride of Buffalo and it looked like Pierce might recover with the radical “Sliver Arrow” concepts of 1933 - but the depression, and a lack of any lower-end car like the Packard 120 or any true production version of the Silver Arrow, meant Pierce lingered as a ghost before finally going under in 1938. This car is a (late) #1931 Model 43 #coupe, powered by a 366-cid, 125-hp Straight eight. #AmericanCars #ClassicCars #1930s #NewYorkPride #NY #Luxury #bigcars #ig_autoshow #technology #1920s #roaring20s

Ford Model T Modified Returns to El Mirage Dry Lake in Tribute to Speed Pioneer Karl Orr

Tribute.

The story behind this little white modified is the story behind two cars, actually. Their history spans nearly the entire length of time that men (and one woman in particular) tested their mettle—and their hot rods—on the hard-packed lakebeds of Southern California’s Mojave Desert. One of the cars is a true pioneer of dry lakes racing, a participant before most of the young men in the fledgling sport were called off to war. The other is a tribute to that car, built by men with deep roots in racing on the lakes and at Bonneville.

If you are familiar with the history of dry lakes racing, then you know the names Karl and Veda Orr. Karl was a racer even before he moved from the Midwest to California in the 1920s; once he arrived in the Los Angeles area, he was quick to pick up on the local racing scene and the speed contests that were going on in the desert.

The Orrs were members of the Albata car club, which was one of the charter members of the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) when it was formed in 1938. Karl was among the racers at the SCTA’s very first meet in July of that year, where he was clocked at 125 mph one-way in a Cragar-powered modified.

(A bit of trivia: That July meet at Muroc was actually the SCTA’s second attempt at a lakes race. The first, in May 1938, “turned out to be a failure because of a strong wind and 10,000 unruly spectators,” said then-SCTA President Ed Adams in a story in the January 1941 issue of Throttle magazine. “It was at that meet that members found they had ‘something on the ball’ and instead of being discouraged, came back fighting to make their next meet a decided success.”)

Karl’s wife Veda helped him at the lakes and became a racer in her own right, running 120 mph in a Deuce roadster prepped by Karl. Not only was she the first woman to race in the SCTA, she’s also credited with keeping the association’s flame lit during the war years. Prior to the war she covered lakes racing events in a newsletter she called CT (for California Timing) News. During the war she produced special issues of CT News that went to hundreds of racers overseas.

Right around the time the SCTA was forming, another hot rodder named Bill Warth built a modified for the lakes with a canvas body and a four-cylinder Model B engine. After driving it for a few years, Warth sold the modified to Karl and started construction on another car, a streamliner this time, one that would find fame with its second owner, Stu Hilborn.

Karl kept the banger engine in the modified but discarded Warth’s canvas body in favor of one made of metal. He raced the car that way in the 1941 SCTA season, but then upped his game for 1942 by replacing the banger with a flathead engine. The new engine helped Karl win the SCTA’s championship before racing was suspended for the war.

“Karl Orr was famous for getting power out of a flathead,” says Jim Lattin, owner of the tribute modified. Among his “horsepower secrets,” according to Lattin, was the use of a 180-degree crankshaft, which changed the flathead’s firing order to ensure each cylinder’s intake charge wasn’t diluted by exhaust coming from the port next to it. He also used a camshaft, developed by Ed Winfield, with a higher lift than most other racers used.

The fate of Karl’s modified is unknown. The SCTA changed its rules in 1946, discontinuing the modified class. Those modifieds that were raced after 1946 did so in the streamliner class, sometimes with a tail section added to the abbreviated modified body. Karl ran his modified as a streamliner in 1947, but after that the trail goes cold.

Chapter Two

If you are familiar with Bonneville racing, you likely know the name Bob Kehoe. In the late 1960s he teamed with Bruce Geisler to build a ’53 Studebaker coupe known as the Hanky Panky Special. Over the years the car set a number of records and got both Bob and Bruce into the 200 MPH Club. When they teamed with Gale Banks and powered the Stude with a Banks-built twin-turbo small-block Chevy, it went 217 mph on the salt, earning the distinction as the world’s fastest gas-burning doorslammer.

That is, until Kehoe got involved with an even faster car, a 1968 Corvette called the Sundowner. Working with Duane McKinney, and with Banks power aboard again (this time a twin-turbo big-block), the Sundowner Corvette eventually ran nearly 241 mph at Bonneville in 1982, stealing the fastest doorslammer crown from Hanky Panky.

Yet Kehoe was an old-school hot rodder, too. He was an active member in the Four Ever Four Cylinder club, built several banger-powered cars, and campaigned his Sprint-Car-inspired Riley Special at the Antique Nationals and local hill climbs. “Bob did most of the work on this car, and loved driving the crap out of the thing,” said fellow Four Ever Four club member Clark Crump. “He really did drive this thing hard, and it was a pretty fast contender on the hill climbs.”

After finishing the Riley Special, Kehoe decided he wanted to duplicate the Karl Orr modified. He located an original race car frame with a wheelbase and side rails that were exact duplicates of the Orr car. His friend Dennis Webb, who had built the Riley Special’s body, fabricated what Lattin describes as an “authentic, beautiful” body for the tribute. Kehoe mocked up the car, built a flathead, and had it “up on wheels, looking like a car,” Lattin says, when tragedy struck. Bob had a fall, never fully recovered, and passed away in August 2014.

Bob’s widow, P.J., sold some of his cars to friends and fellow hot rodders. Lattin got the in-progress modified, as she knew he would finish Bob’s unfinished dream.

“All the hard work was done,” Lattin says. “A few parts needed to be located—appropriate Stewart-Warner gauges, the correct carburation, and so on.”

Jeff Arnett, working in Jim’s shop, is responsible for the major part of the restoration, making use of Jim’s historical knowledge and experience. “A little paint and upholstery, with the number 1 on the car, and it’s finished,” Lattin says.

The Lattin-Arnett-Kehoe-Webb tribute to the Warth-Orr modified joins Lattin’s remarkable collection, which includes historic race cars (we featured his “Number 12” lakester in the September 2016 issue) and a few perfectly-executed tributes. Three of the latter were displayed together in the Quest for Speed exhibit at the 2016 Grand National Roadster Show: the Orr modified, Danny Sakai modified, and Hilborn streamliner.

Like most of the cars in Lattin’s stable, this one is no museum piece. He drives it, happily, as you can see from Tim Sutton’s photo shoot at El Mirage.

Begun by Bob Kehoe and finished by Jim Lattin, this tribute to Karl Orr’s modified wears the number 1 that Orr earned as SCTA points champion in 1942.

Karl and Veda Orr were key players in the development of dry lakes racing in the pre- and post-WWII years. Karl opened one of the first speed shops, and Veda published CT News, a newsletter covering the SoCal racing scene.

Though Orr raced while the war was going on, official SCTA competition didn’t resume until the war was over. Here’s Karl driving the modified after the war, and the timing tag he earned during his championship meet in 1942.

The SCTA discontinued the modified class after 1946, mandating that those cars run as streamliners. This photo of Karl in the modified, which has been repainted and wears number 88, is, we believe, from 1947. Among the collection of Orr timing tags Lattin has is one bearing that car number—and the C Streamliner class designation—from May 1947. Note that Veda earned this tag, running 124.65 mph.

The tribute under construction in Bob Kehoe’s garage. His friend (and collaborator on other projects) Dennis Webb fabricated the body. The project was “up on wheels, looking like a car,” says Lattin, when Bob passed away in 2014.

Lattin describes the 24-stud flathead as “not a big motor. It has a Merc crank in it with a quarter-inch arm, 5/16 by 1/4.” Heads are vintage Evans pieces.

No high-rise manifold here. The hood is so low Lattin pulled a nearly flat, two-pot manifold out of his parts stash to mount the Stromberg carburetors.

Among the parts Lattin contributed to the build were vintage Stewart-Warner gauges. The Franklin steering that Bob installed is controlled by an early steering wheel Lattin had to cut down “so I could fit in the car!”

Behind the flathead is a ’39 Ford transmission that sends power back to a Model A rearend.

The Model A axle is hung with a Model T tapered-leaf rear spring with turned eyes.

A second turned-eye spring pack suspends the ’32 front axle. This view illustrates just how narrow this—and other—modifieds were back in the day. Putting them in with the streamliners after 1946 sort of makes sense.

Bob Kehoe and Dennis Webb modified an old race car frame to make the modified’s foundation. Before he passed away Bob rebuilt the flathead and fabricated its exhaust.

The modified rides on 16-inch Kelsey-Hayes wires. Lattin fabricated the personalized hubcaps.

“All the hard work was done,” says Lattin of the modified’s state when he got it from Bob Kehoe’s widow, P.J. The clutch and throttle assemblies had to be made, and the driveshaft and some other parts were missing, but it didn’t take much for Lattin, his son Bill, and Jeff Arnett to finish the Karl Orr tribute.

In Karl Orr’s hands, his modified ran between 124 and 127 at El Mirage. Some 70 years later, Jim Lattin takes it a little easier covering that same ground.

1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer Named Best of Show at 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

Just a week ago, Bruce R. McCaw’s 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer emerged from the restoration shop of Steve Babinsky in Lebanon, New Jersey. Today, having crossed the country, the boattailed beauty captured the top prize at the prestigious 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

“This Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer is a combination of speed, style and power,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “Somehow these three elements—along with those fantastic torpedo running boards—become the very definition of elegance.”

The car, a sporting tourer, was first delivered to a Captain Miller on behalf of Earl Howe, who founded the British Racing Drivers’ Club.

“We’ve had the car for several years,” said McCaw, of Bellevue, Washington. “The question was whether or not to restore it. I always hate to restore something that doesn’t need it. But we finally found enough pictures that we knew the car needed to be restored.”

The car retains its original Marchal lighting equipment and chrome-plated wheels; these are complemented by low-cut doors and unusual torpedo-style running boards containing tools and other ancillary equipment. The rich blue color was a dress inspired by a dress made of peacock feathers in the 1850s.

In the final circle, Bruce was up against his brother John McCaw who, with wife Gwen McCaw, competed for Best of Show with their 1957 Ferrari 315 S Scaglietti Spyder. Also in the Winner’s Circle was a 1932 Packard 906 Twin Six Dietrich Convertible Victoria owned by William E. (Chip) Connor of Reno, Nevada.

The 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, held on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links, drew 204 cars from 15 countries and 31 states—and the total included 54 first-time entrants.

This Pebble Beach Concours also raised more than $1.6 million to help people in need. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these charitable funds will benefit over 80 local charities.

Celebrity guests who were in attendance included comedian Jay Leno, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, media personality and former defensive end for the New York Giants Michael Strahan, actor Jerry Seinfeld, and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar John Lasseter.

The 68th Pebble Beach Concours will be held on Sunday, August 26 (the fourth rather than the third Sunday in contrast to the norm). For more information on the Pebble Beach Concours, please visit http://ift.tt/12i7tyI.
