FREE WHEELING
By Bill Crowell
Stand aside there ladies
while we have some mantalk
this week. It’s about the
"Battleship.” the first success
ful four wheel drive automo
bile in the world.
Built more than 50 years
ajro by a Clintonville, W iscon
sin, mechanical genius, the
Battleship recently came face
to face with the fastest four
wheel car ever built. The en
counter took place on the fam
ous salt flats near Bonne
ville, Utah. where Donald
Campbell was on hand to try
for a world's land speed rec
ord.
Campbell is the son of the
late Sir Malcolm Campbell
who first drove an automob’ .•
in excess of 300 miles an hour
on the same salt flats 25
years earlier.
The younger Campbell had
hi- four and a half million dol
lar racing machine primed to
beat his father’s record. It is
equipped with a gas turbine
engine capable of turning up
4250 horsepower and required
five years of engineering to
produce. It was expected to
top speeds of 500 mph.
The Bluebird, as Campbell’s
John H. Reed, Jr. and seeing
her sister, Mrs. W. C. Me
Lauchlin who has just return
ed from her mission work
with the Chinese in Japan.
The Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Mc
Lauchlin are now living in
Richmond, Va. We will look
for them in Montreat next
summer
Mary Stockton a student in
King College, Bristol was
home for the week end. Mr.
Stockton is in Memorial Mis
sion Hospital this week under
going special treatment.
Mrs. C. W. Solomon has re
turned home after spending
two weeks in Mission hospital
where she underwent dental
surgery.
Jeffory Sells Kingsport,
Tenn. spent last week with
his grandmother, Mrs. Geo.
Sells in the Graham home on
the mountain.
Dr. and Mrs. C Grier Davis
were away last week, Dr.
Davis went to Davidson and
other places in behalf of Mon
treat. Mrs. Davis visited re
latives in North Carolina.
machine is named ge^ n
power from the turbine which
turns all four wheels—which
incidentally are 52 inches, in
diameter and inflated to 100
pounds per square inch with
nitrogen.
The driver took the sleek.
8,000 pound machine for a 250
mile an hour whiz down the
salt flats. Later Campbell re
turned and climbed aboard
the Battleship for a spin with
his wife. “It was a jolly good
fun to drive the old car,’ he
remarked afterward.
Ironically, the very next day
the half century old relic was
still chugging along, but not
the Bluebird. Campbell crash
ed, without serious injury,
during another trial run. That
called a halt to his attempt to
raise the world's land speed
record.
Back when the Battleship
was new in 1910 its builders
challenged all comers with:
“$1000 to any automobile that
can follow the Battleship for
10 minutes.'”
There were many takers but
all failed to follow the rugged
car as she plowed through
mudholes of clay and mire,
through sand pits, up steep
hills and any place it was
thought a car couldn’t run.
That summer of 1910 the Bat
tleship stalled 116 rear-driven
cars in sand or mud, and then
not only plowed through it
self but pulled out the bogged
down vehicles.
Four wheel drive vehicles
have an interesting history. It
began one day in 1906 when
that Clintonville mechanic
backed a rear wheel drive car
up an incline he couldn’t ne
gotiate going forward. This
led to the successful develop
ment of multi-drive vehicles
of which the Battleship was
the forerunner.
It, incidentally, has a 45
horsepower, four-cylinder en
gine and the body is made ot
wood. It’s on a 128-inch
wheelbase, and its four wheei
drive also includes four wheei
brakes, probably the first ir
the country.
The old car is now on ex

Just why does a Jet-smooth Chevy treat riders

came about through a delightful blend of Full Coil
