J.H.Boland Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) There was an independent truck manufacturer in London ,Ontario in the early 1920's called the Barton and Rumble. I was fortunate enough to meet Ross Barton,one of the co-founders of the company. He was an experienced machinist and lived nearby. He allowed me to copy a number of photos of these trucks.The factory is still standing,the front of which is now a beauty salon. I can post some more of the photos here if anyone is interested.

The truck was demonstrating the structural integrity of McClary's milk cans. The factory in London,Ontario built kitchen stoves,cans as in the photos, 1911 Ontario porcelain licence plates, and helmets for the Canadian army in both world wars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was demonstrating something for the truck manufacturer, not the cans. That makes much more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from a caption in, Ford Methods and the Ford Shops: "Two of the Centrifugal Wheel-Painting Machines: the paint vats are mounted so that they can be raised and lowered for submerging the wheel." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34LaSalleClubSedan Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Any Packard Auto Show Car Pics Doozer??? During the teens, 1920's and 1930's in St.Paul Minnesota the auto show was held at times at the Willy's Overland Building. The building still stands on the border between St.Paul & Minneapolis Minnesota on University Ave. It was taken over in later years by International Harvester and is now office/warehouse space I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Model T bodies were not made by Ford There were several suppliers of the same body style, as no one company could produce what was required. There were small differences between them. Some of the companies have been identified, many others have not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doozer Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) A bit better pic of this Auburn. Any interest in small outboard race boat pics from these shows? Two rooftops back from this Auburn looks quite impressive. Large car with soft fixed top? What do you all think!

Not to detract from this thread, but I thought it was relevant. Here's the editorial my 11-year-old son wrote for a recent issue of our club magazine. He also selected the photos. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachJC Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Here are a couple of pics of what people believe are of the first or second Model Ts ever made. Henry Ford used it to test out some of his designs and make improvement where he thought necessary. These pics are supposedly after one of his camping trips with Edison and Firestone among others, that is why it is covered in mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 1919 Ford Model T with a Knickerbocker Unit. I came across this photo recently and realized that a friend has a set of these Knickerbocker tractor wheels lying outside his house for "yard art". He is a Model T guy and I am pretty sure he doesn't know what his yard art actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
