THE LACRE STORY

Wh ichever way you look a t it.rebuilding Cl bus is a BIG job.Wh en a s mall team in the

Northland Branch restored th e 77year old Lacre from a few badlycorroded com ponen ts in just 18months . it was nothing s hor t ofincredible. In April 1988 th e Bra nc hwas d on ated th e parts of thec h a rab a nc by Branch m embersPaddy a nd Eleanor Holt. Wh atremained of thi s on ce proud vehiclewere th e chas s is rail s . whi ch hadbeen cu t in half a nd u sed as b ridges t r inge rs. the e ngine. radiator .transmis sion case. s te er ing box .ax les . wheels. one rear spring. theIirewall a nd sundry brackets . e tc .Most of th ese parts had lain in aswa m p on Cl farm a t S prings Flat.Karno . for ove r 40 years a nd becauseof the high mineral con ten t of th ewater. th e effect on the met al hadbeen di sastrous . All th e s tee lhad been reduced to lace anda lloy cas tings were seriouslycorrod ed . Th e Br a n c hes timated that restorationwould take 10-12 years .

The Model '0 ' Lacre waspart o f North lands earlyhis tory. having b een ins ervice from 1920- 1927 withthe Northern Bu s Co . ownedby the late Harry GreenWilkinson. It wa s origina llybuilt by the Long AcreEngineering Co of Long Acre.Co n ve n t Gard en Park.Lond on. between 1908 and1910. Brough t to N.Z. in 1911. itwas used in Auckland by an unknownbus company until 1919 wh en it waspurchased from W.S . Miller. KhyberPass. by th e late Harry Wilkins on.The trip North took Harry and hisSOil Arthur three days . and in cludeda s tin t co nveying rac ego ers fromDev onport to a race m eeting a tTakapuna. th en further North .having to drive along the beach a tOrewa a nd Mangawai .

After its passenger ca rry ing days.the Lacre was bought by Foot c' s Coa lMining Co at Hikurangi whoconver ted it for use as a coal truck .The body was pu t on a 1923Int ernational cha s si s a n ci t h cna ro u nd 1934 was disposed of in adump in Kamo.

The vehicle wa s later purchased

by farmer Ray J ou n neaux who u sedth e rear axl e as a farm tr ailer and th erea r half of th e chassis as a bridgeover a creek. Some 40 years later.a rou nd 1974. V.C .C. en th usia s t a ndformer Wilk inson's em ployee RayMitchell recovered th e rusted a nd

Wire WheelsThe bas ic design of wire wheels

was originally envisaged as a meansof pr oviding:

(a) a resil ient wheel ;(b) ex tra coo ling facilities :(c) quick-change equipmentTheoreti cally the id eal desi gn

would incorporate a spoking sys temprovid ing a spoke tri angulation equala bo ut th e wh eel cen tre lin e a n dhavin g its a pex in th e ce n tre of th erim a nd th e spoke in th e base (hubcen tre) fairly wid e. Original wir ewh eels in th e lat e 1920 's wer e bas edon th is syste m .a lthough limi tation sdue to developments of vehicle s us­pensi ons a nd braking sy s te ms be­ga n to di c tat e to a large exte nt th epattern of wheel u s ed in th e late1920' s a nd 1930·s .

Th is resulted in the mod ern de­signs wh er e wh eels have a fairl y largein s et. demanding differential s ofnu mbers of spo ke s front and reara nd di ffering a ngles abou t th e wh eelce n tre lin e .

The centre locking hub typ e ofwh eel. known as th e Rudge Whi­tworth . was a dopted almost univer­sally in th e 1920·s. a n d con tin u es tobe us ecl on modern cars eve n in the1970·s .

Maintenance of this type of eq u ip­ment is a must. th e s plines both inth e wheel a nd on the hub must bemaintained in good order to a voidincorrect fitting. wh eel loosenes s a ndwheel knock when splines a re badlyworn . a llowing relative movementbetween th e mating parts.

The ea rly Rudge hubs were iden­tified as 42W. 52W. 62W. nw. 80W.90W. 100W and120W. Th e numberidentifies th e metric siz e of th e larg­es t bearing u sed in a particular hub .the letter "W" identifies th e particu ­lar s hape of th e hub pressing. a nd

mor e mo de rn cent res are known as42V. etc . Numbers of splines varyaccord ing to th e centre shell s ize .e .g .. a 120 old type would have 168serra tions . a 42 more modern typ ewould hav e 88 serrations.

The differ ent typ es of s he ll ca n no tbe int erch anged. Le.. a 42V will notcha ngewitha42W or 52Vor W. Hu blengths a nd consequen t ly s p linelengths va ry . depending on th e di ­a meter of th e cen tre s hell. but a llhubs of th e same s ize design ati onwill be th e same.

Tape r seatings both for th e wh eelto hub location a nd hub to nut a rea n d a lways have been generally to acom mon s ta ndard universally. Th ehub/wheel taper is 60° includ eda ngle. a nd th e hub znut cone 10°included a ngle .

Other types of wire wh eels includeth e bo lt det a ch able known as th eMagn a type. th e ce n tre lock incorpo­ra ting a hub cen tre com pris ing a ninner a nd ou te r s he ll with a woodenspacer bet ween th e flanges . Thesewere used for s ing le or twin mo u n t­ing. with a triple s po king pattern.during 1914/15. Th e bolt on magn atype used a large hollow cen tre s hellwith a bridge piece ac ross th e fron tfor cover cap fitting. As a wh eelfitme n t th ese were perfectly sa tis fac­tory bu t rather expensive.

In th e early days th e design s ofhub a nd locking nuts utilis ed aWhitworth thread. usually 8 TPI. bu tmor e mod ern types s ince 193 5 hav eadop ted 12 TPI Whit form. There a re .however. still a rg u me n ts for a ndaga ins t both s ta ndards.

two categories . The typ e u sed onwheels of say 19 in. or 21 in. diame­ter on ea rly vehicles which fitt ed th ela rger typ e shell s uch as th e 120wo u ld be of double or triple s poklng.ha vin g probably 84 or 112 s po kes.The second type covers more mod­ern vehicles wh ere limitation s on th evehicle such as ou tboard mounteddi s c b rakes and s maller diamet erwh eels ha ve restrict ed th e design .Most mod ern wheels wo u ld ge ner­a lly have twice th e number of s po kesrea r to fro n t. th e number being lim ­ited by th e s ize of th e ce n tre s hell.a lso making it impossible to incorpo­rate triple spoking.

Of a ll th e typ es of spoking or lac..ing. the triple type is by far th es tro nges t design in terms of fa tigu eresi stance .

Many types of spoke design hav ebeen us ed over th e years. th e s tra igh ts po ke . th e type us ed by Ford wh ichwas welded at the rim end . a nd th ebent end s poke which is more s u it­a b le for th e pr ess ed typ e ce n tre .Without doubt th e ideal is th e s traigh ttyp e . wh ich incidentall y has beenado pted in th e last few yea rs oncer ta in vehicles where failu res wereocc u rring in se rvice wi th th e be nttyp e .

Bu tted spokes refers to s pokes oftwo diameters wh ere the init ia l wires ize is drawn clown to a smaller di­a me te r to produce a more flexibles poke (Fig. I) a nd a lso reduce th elevel of stress in th e s po ke head a rea .which is usually th e a rea of ultimatefailure.

~.-.~-~The ma in reason for adopting bent

end s po kes a ppears to be due to th eu se of thin ga uge s he ll cen tres wh ereth e countersinking for the s po ke a t acompound angle in th e s hell with as tra igh t spoke would inevit ably breakthrough the materi al. wh ereas a bentc n d spoke is m o r e a d a p ta b le .Straight spokes a re generally usedwith forged typ e cent res wh ere mate-

Application of loads in excess ofth ose for which the wheel is de signeda re not to be recommended. Al­th ou gh generally th ere is a reason­a ble safety facto r buil t in to the wheel.excessive overload ing will lead in i­tially to spok e failure . a nd ultima telyto failure in the rim bulges .

The offs et s of wire wh eels shouldnever be a lte red from their originaldimensions. o therw ise the wholes po king sys te m. which will al so a f­fec t th e load-carrying capacity. willbe affected.

Ch ro me pla ted wire wh eel s a reu s ed on many cars . and it must beremembered tha t this type can bemore s usceptib le to fatigue failu redu e to hydrogen e m bri t tleme n tcaused by th e n ick el coa ting .
