Ms Oslofjord

MS Oslofjord was a combined ocean liner/cruise ship built in 1949 by Netherlands Shipbuilding Company in Amsterdam, Netherlands for Norwegian America Line. As built she was 16,844 gross register tons, and could carry 620 passengers. In 1967—1968 she was chartered to Greek Line and from 1968 onwards to Costa Crociere, who renamed her MS Fulvia in 1969. Following an explosion in the engine room, the Fulvia caught fire near the Canary Isles on 19 July 1970, and had to be evacuated. She later sunk while being towed to Tenerife.

The Retro DIY Project – Two Shoe Racks

Stimulating tidiness in habits in youngsters and even older persons, these two shoe racks are a sturdy construction and neat in appearance. The boot design can be scroll-sawed from scrap pieces of plywood, which is strong enough for smaller shoes, while the other one detailed is of heavier stock. If you do not wish to mortise the foot to take a tenon at the end of the side piece a simpler method is shown.

A Pretty Good April Fools Day Hoax

Loch Ness Monster’s Body Found – 1972

In 1972 a team of zoologists from Yorkshire’s Flamingo Park Zoo had gone out in search of the legendary monster and soon discovered a large body floating in the water.

The corpse, was 16–18 feet long and weighed up to 1.5 tonnes, described as having “a bear’s head and a brown scaly body with claw like fins.” The creature was put in a van to be taken away for testing, whereupon police chased them down and took the cadaver under an act of parliament which prohibits the removal of “unidentified creatures” from Loch Ness.

It was later revealed that Flamingo Park’s education officer had shaved the whiskers and otherwise disfigured a bull elephant seal which had died the week before, and dumped it in Loch Ness to dupe his colleagues.

Having determined that the dead animal was not the Loch Ness Monster, the police had no further interest in it. So they returned the carcass to the team from the Flamingo Park Zoo. The team brought the seal back to the zoo, where they put it back on ice and displayed it to crowds for a few days before properly disposing of it.

More British Beaches And Coastal Fun

Regular visitors must have notice my somewhat odd infatuation with retro and vintage beach life on the British Isles, but to my defence I must be allowed to say that I have actually visited almost every British coastal town from Blackpool in the west to Whitby in the east. And more, I have enjoyed it – Ted

The Reyonnah Cycle Car

Reyonnah is a former French automaker. It produced 16 cycle-car style vehicles between 1951 and 1954.

The name
The company was established by a Parisian called Robert Hannoyer. Its name was the ananym of its founder’s name.

The product
The only model was a small four-wheeled vehicle with a relatively wide track at the front and a narrow track at the rear. The vehicle offered space for two, seated one behind the other, following the same basic lay-out as the better known Messerschmitt “Bubble-car”. Weather protection came from a hood which could be partially opened to expose only the driver to the weather (in a style dubbed "a la Milord" by at least one commentator) or fully folded back if the passenger in the back also wished to travel roofless. A single-cylinder engine from AMC or Ydral of 175 cc or 125 cc powered the rear axle via a three speed manual gear box and a chain drive mechanism.

An unusual feature of the front wheels was that when parked their supporting structure could be folded towards the centre of the car so that the parked vehicles had a curiously raised nose but a front track (corresponding in this case with the vehicle’s overall width) of only 750 mm, enabling it to park in a space little wider than a motorbike slot. For travelling, the front wheels had to be folded out, increasing the front track to a more stable 1320 mm.

Performance
Hannoyer’s enthusiasm kept his small car alive and appearing at the Paris Motor Show for at least three years from 1950 till 1952 during which the car failed to attract customers in the numbers for which he had hoped. Five days after the salon doors closed in October 1952 he took a special light-weight Reyonnah 175 to the Montlhéry circuit of which he had previously made a study. The vehicle peaked at a speed above 100 km/h (63 mph) and achieved an average speed of 96.67 km/h (59 mph) during a non-stop run of 50 kilometers (31 mi).

Round Britain By Railway Posters – Derbyshire

Derbyshire (ⁱ/ˈdɑrbɨʃər/ dar-bi-shər or /ˈdɑrbɪʃɪər/ dar-bi-sheer; abbreviated Derbys. or Derbs.) is a county in the East Midlands of England. A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire. The southern extremity of the Pennine range of hills extends into the north of the county. The county contains part of the National Forest, and borders onGreater Manchester to the northwest, West Yorkshire to the north, South Yorkshire to the northeast, Nottinghamshire to the east, Leicestershire to the southeast, Staffordshire to the west and southwest and Cheshire also to the west. In 2003 theOrdnance Survey placed Church Flatts farm, near Coton in the Elms, as the furthest point from the sea in Great Britain.

The city of Derby is now a unitary authority area, but remains part of the ceremonial county of Derbyshire. The non-metropolitan county contains 30 towns with between 10,000 and 100,000 inhabitants. There is a large amount of sparsely populated agricultural upland: 75% of the population live in 25% of the area.

History

The area that is now Derbyshire was first visited, probably briefly, by humans 200,000 years ago during the Aveley interglacialas evidenced by a Middle Paleolithic Acheulian hand axe found near Hopton.

Further occupation came with the Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic periods of the Stone Age when Mesolithic hunter gatherers roamed the hilly tundra. The evidence of these nomadic tribes is centred around limestone caves located on the Nottinghamshire border. Deposits left in the caves date the occupancy at around 12,000 to 7,000 BCE.

Burial mounds of Neolithic settlers are also situated throughout the county. These chambered tombs were designed for collective burial and are mostly located in the central Derbyshire region. There are tombs in Minninglow, and Five Wells, which date back to between 2000 and 2500 BCE. Three miles west of Youlgreave lies the Neolithic henge monument of Arbor Low, which has been dated to 2500 BCE.

It is not until the Bronze Age that real signs of agriculture and settlement are found in the county. In the moors of the Peak District signs of clearance, arable fields and hut circles were discovered after archeological investigation. However this area and another settlement at Swarkestone are all that have been found.

During the Roman invasion the invaders were attracted to Derbyshire because of thelead ore in the limestone hills of the area. They settled throughout the county with forts built near Brough in the Hope Valley andnear Glossop. Later they settled around Buxton, famed for its warm springs, and set up a fort near modern-day Derby in an area now known as Little Chester.

Several kings of Mercia are buried in the Repton area.

Following the Norman Conquest, much of the county was subject to the forest laws. To the northwest was the Forest of High Peak under the custodianship of William Peverel and his descendants. The rest of the county was bestowed upon Henry de Ferrers, a part of it becoming Duffield Frith. In time the whole area was given to the Duchy of Lancaster. Meanwhile the Forest of East Derbyshire covered the whole county to the east of the River Derwent from the reign of Henry II to that of Edward I.

To All My Visitors

The Esquire Calendar 1948

When David Smart, Henry Jackson and Arnold Gingrich published the first issue of Esquire in Oct 1933 they included fiction by Ernest Hemingway and Dashiell Hammett, sports instruction by Bobby Jones and Gene Tunney and a full-colour cartoon by George Petty. Petty’s airbrushed cartoons – essentially excuses to draw barely-dressed women – became, not surprisingly, the most popular feature in the magazine. Beginning with the Dec 1939 issue the “Petty Girl” was enlarged into a gatefold and the modern magazine pin-up was born.

By this time Petty’s relationship with the magazine was wearing thin and in 1940 he was replaced by Alberto Vargas.1 The next year Smart decided to take some of Vargas’ illustrations and produce a wall calendar. The Esquire Varga Calendar sold 320,000 copies and was the best selling calendar in 1941 of any kind. Over the next six years the Esquire Varga Calendar was published in many different formats including a wall calendar, a desk calendar (in leatherette!) and even a pocket-sized military calendar shipped to GIs in Europe.

January – Curtain Call, Ben-Hur Baz – February – RFD, Fritz Willis

March – Objection, Joe De Mers – April – Bedtime Story, unsigned

May – Predicament, J. Frederick Smith – June – Meadow Lark, Ben-Hue Baz

Vargas’ relationship with the magazine would prove even more contentious than Petty’s. He sued Esquire over his contract and he was replaced in 1947 by a rotating stable of artists including Ben-Hur Baz, Joe De Mers, Fritz Willis and J. Frederick Smith. The 1948 Esquire Glamour Gallery was their first post-Vargas calendar.

July – Endorsed, Fritz Willis – August – Maid to Measure, Joe De Mers

September – Si, Si, Ben-Hur Baz – October – Floral Offering, Fritz Willis

November – Exposure, Ren Wicks – December – Sawdust to Stardust, Joe De Mers

After the 1953 publication of Playboy and the popularization of the photo pictorial the pin-up fell out of favor. Esquire’s last illustrated calendar was in 1957.

Rita Moreno – Puerto Rican Singer, Dancer And Actress

Rita Moreno (born December 11, 1931) is a Puerto Rican singer, dancer and actress. She is the only Hispanic and one of the few performers to have won all four major annual American entertainment awards, which include an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony, and was the second Puerto Rican to win an Academy Award.

Early years
Moreno was born Rosa Dolores Alverío in the hospital at Humacao, Puerto Rico to Rosa María (née Marcano), a seamstress, and Francisco José "Paco" Alverío, a farmer. Moreno, whose mother was 17 at the time of her birth, was raised in nearby Juncos. Rita’s mother moved to New York City in 1936, taking her daughter, but not her son, Rita’s younger brother, Francisco. Rita would later adopt the surname of her first stepfather, Edward Moreno, Rosa Maria’s second husband, by whom Rita would have a younger stepbrother, Dennis Moreno, who died in a car crash.

Rita began her first dancing lessons soon after arriving in New York with a Spanish dancer known as "Paco Cansino", who was a paternal uncle of film star Rita Hayworth. When she was 11 years old, she lent her voice to Spanish language versions of American films. She had her first Broadway role — as "Angelina" in Skydrift — by the time she was 13, which caught the attention of Hollywood talent scouts. She appeared in small roles in The Toast of New Orleans and Singin’ in the Rain, in which she played the starlet "Zelda Zanders".

In March 1954, Moreno was featured on the cover of Life Magazine with a caption, "Rita Moreno: An Actresses’ Catalog of Sex and Innocence". In 1956, she had a supporting role in the film version of The King and I as Tuptim, but disliked most of her other work during this period.

West Side Story and its aftermath
In 1961, Moreno landed the role of Anita in Robert Wise’s and Jerome Robbins’ film adaptation of Leonard Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking Broadway musical, West Side Story, which had been played by Chita Rivera on Broadway. Moreno won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for that role.

After winning the Oscar, Moreno thought she would be able to continue to perform less stereotypical film roles, but was disappointed.

"Ha, ha. I showed them. I didn’t make another movie for seven years after winning the Oscar…. Before West Side Story, I was always offered the stereotypical Latina roles. The Conchitas and Lolitas in westerns. I was always barefoot. It was humiliating, embarrassing stuff. But I did it because there was nothing else. After West Side Story, it was pretty much the same thing. A lot of gang stories."

Moreno went on to be the first Hispanic to win an Emmy (1977), a Grammy (1972), an Oscar (1962) and a Tony (1975). In 1985, she won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago.

On This Day In 1964 – Campbell Speeds To Double Record

By the way visitors, this is my  post No 3000 on Retrorambling – Ted 🙂

Donald Campbell has broken the world water speed record, becoming the first man to break the world land and water speed records in the same year. He reached an average speed of 276.33mph (444.71km/h) in his speedboat, Bluebird, this afternoon on Lake Dumbleyung in Perth, Western Australia. The feat shatters his previous world record of 260.35mph (418.99km/h) at Lake Coniston, Cumbria, in 1959.

I never thought we had the chance of a snowball
on the desert of cracking it today
Donald Campbell, record breaker

Mr Campbell has been trying to realise his record-breaking attempt for months at various locations in Australia. Each time he has been frustrated. The weather at his first choice of location, Lake Bonney in South Australia, proved too unpredictable. Then, he moved to Lake Dumbleyung, near Perth, on 16 December, only to be delayed by wild ducks which could not fly away because they were moulting.

The weather was the next setback, as persistent easterly winds raised waves up to 2ft (61cm) high, making any attempt impossible. With time running out for him to achieve his goal of breaking both speed records in the same year, he began considering a move to a third lake just south of Perth.

‘Let’s go, skipper!’
Then suddenly, on the last possible day, the winds eased and the lake became flat calm. Conditions were rated 95% suitable, and the chief mechanic, Leo Villa, radioed to Mr Campbell, "I think it’s worth a try – let’s go, skipper!"

Several hundred people gathered on the shores of the lake to watch, among them Mr Campbell’s wife, Tonia Bern. When she heard that he had done it, she dived into the lake and swam out to embrace him as he brought Bluebird in. As he stepped ashore, Mr Campbell told his supporters, "It’s amazing that we clinched it. I never thought we had the chance of a snowball on the desert of cracking it today."

Mr Campbell broke the land speed record in July on Lake Eyre salt flat in central Australia, with a speed of 403.1mph (648.72km/h). However, the record was short-lived: on 27 October an American, Art Arfon, drove his jet car across Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah at an average speed of 536.71mph (863.75km/h).

In Context
Donald Campbell attempted to break his own speed record a little over two years later, on 4 January 1967. A split second before his jet-powered boat, the Bluebird K7, broke the record, travelling at more than 300mph (483km/h) on Coniston Water, the boat’s nose lifted and it was catapulted 50ft (15m) into the air. Mr Campbell was killed instantly as the boat hit the water and disintegrated. He was 46 years old.

His body was not recovered for another 34 years, until 2001. His remains were buried near Coniston Water. Donald Campbell is still the only person to break both land and water speed records in the same year. He remains the last British man to break the world water speed record. In 1978, it passed to Australia, when Ken Warby reached a speed of 317.6mph (511.1km/h).

Safety Coffins

There were justifiable fears of being buried alive, before modern medicine could safely identify the difference between certain types of paralysis or coma and being dead. Fears which were exacerbated by fiction such as The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe. As a result a bizarre range of contraptions were invented to signal having been buried alive, from bells, whistles and even a spring loaded ejector coffin which might actually kill other people from the shock of seeing an interred body spring out of the ground in a cemetery.

Added to this were ranges of hermetically sealed iron coffins and a device to prevent grave robbing consisting of a booby-trap subterranean torpedo.

Premier Padmini – Indian Minicar

Premier Padmini is an automobile that was manufactured in India from 1964 to 2000 by Premier Automobiles Limited, a division of the Walchand Group, under license from Fiat and marketed initially as the Fiat 1100 Delight — and beginning in 1973 as the Premier Padmini. The Padmini’s primary competitor in the Indian market was the Hindustan Ambassador.

Known colloquially as the Pad, the Padmini is named for a 14th-century Rajput princess. Padmini translates to "she who sits on the lotus" and refers to the Goddess Lakshmi. It is also a common name for girls in India.

The Fiat 1100D, based on the Fiat 1200 GranLuce Berlina, debuted in India in 1964 with a carburetted 1,089 cc four-cylinder engine — rather than the 1,221 cc engine fitted to the GranLuce in Italy. With a 7.8:1 compression ratio, it created 40 bhp (30 kW) at 4,800 rpm with a maximum torque of 7.20 kg·m (71 N·m; 52 lb·ft) at 3,000 rpm. The original transmission was a four-speed manual gearbox (without synchronized first gear), which drove the rear wheels via a live rear axle. It had a column-mounted shifter, on the left-hand side of the steering column. Weighing 895 kg (1,970 lb) the car could attain a top speed of 115 km/h (71 mph).

Premier manufactured the Padmini at their Kurla plant in Bombay (now Mumbai) until they sold a majority stake to Fiat SpA in September 1997. The licensed vehicle was initially manufactured as the Fiat 1100 Delight. For model year 1973, the car was marketed as the Premier President and subsequently as the Premier Padmini. The car, in its peak during the 1970s-1980’s, achieved immense popularity among youngsters, celebrities and women as compared to the Hindustan Ambassador, it looked more modern in appearance, more fuel-efficient and was very easy to drive.

By the early-eighties, a more powerful version which offered 44 bhp (33 kW) at 5,000 rpm was also available. Claimed top speed increased to 119 km/h (74 mph). During the same time, Premier began to offer an air-conditioning system, which was a luxury in Indian cars at the time, in the Padmini. The Padmini was only available with petrol engines until 1996, when they introduced a diesel variant.

Victorian Inventions – Part 15

From “Victorian Inventions” by Leonard De Vries published by American Heritage Press in 1972

Mr Traugott Beek of Newark, N.J., in the United States of America has invented a life-preserver, the top part of which consists of a floating-buoy in which the wearer has freedom to move his head and arms about. It provides those unfortunate enough to be shipwrecked not only with sufficient power to float but also affords them complete shelter. A month’s supply of food and drinking-water can be stored in the upper section. The cover can be closed when high seas are running, adequate visibility then being provided by a window, while the occupant can breathe through a curved pipe. The preserver is fashioned of waterproof sailcloth secured to circular metal tubes, while the watertight trousers and gumboots with metal bands provide protection against injury from rocks and voracious fish.

XXth Century Health & Pleasure Resorts Of Europe – Part 1

From the 33rd edition of “XX^th Century Health And Pleasure Resorts Of Europe” published in 1933

CONTINENTAL TRAVEL MADE EASY FOR ALL

It is not so very long since Continental travel was confined to the wealthy classes. It is now accessible to a much larger section of the community, and very soon it will be an exception to find anyone possessing secondary education who has not been outside his own country. This change has been brought about partly by-the rise in the standard of living and the spread of modern languages, partly through cheap tours on which people have grasped the fact that independent travel abroad presents no difficulties, chiefly through the possibility of finding good accommodation to suit all purses.

To grumble was at one time considered the" Englishman’s privilege," and he made full use of it. His insular indifference to the opinion of others has resulted in the gradual improvement of even the more moderate and unpretentious hotels in the tourist districts of the Continent and their almost complete adoption of the requirements peculiar to the Britisher which at one time were not found even in first-class hotels. Good tea, hot running water, heated plates, non-greasy cooking, grills, warm woollen blankets, etc., are now provided everywhere.

The craze for luxury has resulted in the creation of the" Hotel de Luxe". Where" milord" formerly wandered around with a perpetual grumble on his aristocratic lips, the millionaire now takes note of many an improvement for his home when staying in the leading hotels of the Continent. Every complaint received from the traveller has been noted and discussed (frequently at international meetings) until gradually the difficulties and complications of foreign travel have been done away with. English is spoken in all better-class establishments, and some English speaking person is usually to be found on the staff of even the smallest hotel in important tourist districts.

Everything is made easy for the sightseer and motorist. Notices are generally in several languages (including English), guides are available and tourist offices give information willingly and free of charge. – Luggage on the Continent can be registered from one station to another (ticket on same line usually required) and will be carefully stored until called for. In Switzerland luggage can even be posted straight to the hotel. Hotel porters are thoroughly efficient and able to book places and attend to customs and other formalities connected with travel.

New Series – XXth Century Health & Pleasure Resorts Of Europe

A couple of years ago I came across this book at a jumble sale. It is meant for British and American visitors to the European continent and it gives a very good picture of how the well-to-do spent their holidays in years between the world wars. It is the 33rd edition of the book and it was published in 1933.

The new series will show the most interesting and entertaining parts of the book – Ted
