| 106 | (Research): «tab» Butler «tab» «tab» The Butler Petrol Cycle is accepted by many as the very first British motor car although as it never went into production many other people class Henry Knight's 3-wheeler as the first British motor car. Although Karl Benz is recognised as the inventor of the modern motor car an Englishman named Edward Butler was said to have exhibited plans for a 3-wheeled vehicle two years earlier than Benz in 1884 at the Stanley Cycle Show, London (UK) and it was also the first design shown at the 1885 Inventions Exhibition, London (UK) Butler however did not patent (Patent 15598 - London) his vehicle until 1887 due to British laws on experiments. On the vehicle the patent read "Butlers Petrol-Cycle Syndicate Limited Patent". It also referred to "F.B. Shuttleworth, Erith, London." as Butler built the Petrol Cycle in the works of F.B. Shuttleworth. In 1890 Butler finished his design which was a vehicle powered by an engine that used mineral hydro-carbons. «tab» «tab»«tab» «tab» «tab» The Butler Petrol Cycle. (This is the only known photograph - the date is unknown) «tab» «tab» «tab» The two-cylinder engine worked by a spray of Benzoline or petroleum product carburetted with air. The configuration saw two wheels at the front which steered the vehicle, and the single rear wheel was powered by a chain. A single saddle type seat was positioned in between the front two wheels. The braking device worked by pressing a pedal which forced two small rollers on to the ground and so lifting the drive wheel from the road! Butler refined the vehicle further by using a four stroke water cooled engine that achieved 600 rpm. He is credited with first using the word "Petrol" and inventing the spark plug, magneto, coil ignition and spray jet carburettor. Butler found problems with his invention due to government restrictions and on the 12th December 1890 whilst referencing his vehicle wrote the following in the English Mechanic journal; "..the authorities do not countenance its use on the roads, and I have abandoned in consequence any further development of it. At the time the maximum speed was 2 mph in the city and 4 mph in the country side. In addition each vehicle had to be attended by 3 people of which one had to walk in front of the vehicle waving a red flag (The 1865 Red Flag Act) to warn other road users and help control horses. This act had originally appeared as a result of the growing number of "steam powered" vehicles. Butler broke his Petrol Cycle up for scrap in 1896 where upon the patent rights were sold to H.J. Lawson and the engine continued to be produced for motor boats. ================================================== The only Englishman to make a car was Edward Butler who took out a patent "for the mechanical propulsion of cycles" in 1884 and then had made a direct drive, two cylinder petrol engined, three wheeled vehicle at the Merryweather Fire Engine works in Greenwich in 1888. The car had a lot of firsts for a petrol driven car, for it had Ackerman steering with a fixed front axle and sub axles that steered the wheels, a spray carburettor and mechanically operated inlet valves. ================================================= | Butler, Edward (I818)

| 108 | (Research):Trevehen Connection In 1753 Richard Holman of the parish of Antony married Christian Martyn Trevehen at Landrake. She was the daughter of William Trevehen and Christian of Landrake and St Erney. William's parents are unknown and he is the right age to potentially be a brother to my earliest known ancestor John Trev(eigh)an. William and Christian named a son John, and John and Francis named one of their sons William and another Sampson, which is one of the most common Trevehen christian names in the parish of Landrake. Whilst this is far from proof, it strenghtens the probability that the Treveighen family of St Teath migrated to the parishes in south east Cornwall through Landrake, and from Landrake to Antony. It is possible that William was the base son of Grace Treveighan (c1658-) baptised on 8 Apr 1698 at St Teath a month before she married the father William Saverry, but it's also possible (even more probable) that he was known as William Saverry.

| 121 | Biographical extract courtesy of Bethlem Books (www.bethlehembooks.com) About Constance Savery "TELL ME A STORY," are the first words Constance Savery remembers saying. Though her clergyman father supplied her with "books galore" as soon as she could read, she could never get stories enough to satisfy her love of them. She soon took to making up her own. These were sometimes acted out with "paper dolls cut out of my mother's pattern books," sometimes written out or told in her head or while she walked around "the house or garden pretending to play a solitary game of bat and ball." She went on to write some fifty books, nearly all for children. Three of Miss Savery's sisters also became writers due no doubt to the close and creative family environment with its plenitude of books. Constance Savery, eldest of five sisters, was born in Froxfield, Wiltshire on October 31st, 1897. Later the family moved to the city of Birmingham. From Birmingham she went to Somerville College, Oxford. Recently, just before her hundredth birthday, she was the guest of honor at an Oxford event celebrating the 75th anniversary of degrees for women. Previous to her year, though they took full university courses and passed all the examinations, women did not receive diplomas as full members of the University. She wrote, "I had done nothing whatever to deserve being a guest of honour except to outlive all the other women in the first group that was admitted to degrees! It was a very grand occasion for a very insignificant person." Sixty years' worth of young readers would doubtless challenge this claim to insignificance. Though her first book was published in England in 1929, it was not until the publication of Enemy Brothers in 1943 that Constance Savery was introduced to American readers. She soon became known as a gifted and sensitive author on both sides of the Atlantic, excelling in the portrayal of warm personal relationships between characters. The satisfying conclusions of her books arise from her deep sense of faith and goodness and from her love of a good story; they uplift the reader with a sense of hope, escaping the snare of the moralizing or overly sweet tale. When asked in 1997 how she came to write The Reb and the Redcoats, Miss Savery wrote, "I can't tell exactly what prompted it. I have always been interested in American history from the time when as a small child my father told me the story of Benedict Arnold's treachery, and I can still hear the very tone of his voice as he pronounced a name that I ever afterwards thought of as standing only a little below that of Judas Iscariot! (I believe subsequent research has proved that Benedict Arnold was not so much to blame as has been supposed.) "I do recall, shortly before writing The Reb and the Redcoats, that I had been reading an account of Major Andrª's death and also an account of the fate of some American prisoners of war in England. They escaped from the prison quarters, but could find no way of getting back to the United States. Destitute and starving, they were captured by a kind-hearted sergeant and his party. He was so sorry for them that he took them all to the nearest inn and gave them a good dinner before returning them to their prison quarters. "This is all I can tell you about the origin of the book. The next thing I knew I was in the schoolroom with Charlotte, who was writing her copy before George burst in to call her down to see Old Harry and the rebel doll." Constance Savery spent her last years in the town of Stroud, of which she wrote, "It may amuse you to know that long ago Stroud was an important town. Most of the red cloth for British army uniforms was manufactured there." On March 2nd, 1999, just months before this reprinting of The Reb and the Redcoats, Miss Savery died at the age of 101. Her gift of sensitive, thoughtful writing will continue to be appreciated by many new readers. =================================================================== Dear Nick, I'm glad to have been able to give you some useful information. Here is a little more from a letter where Constance describes her family: "My beloved parents were the complements of each other in their religious view: my mother was always the evangelist, my father the pastor. My next sister, Irene, had a Montessori training diploma, but her chief work lay with the Christian welfare work of the Sandes Soldiers and Airmen's Homes. She and my sister Christine worked in these Homes for many years, serving in Northern Ireland, England, France and Iceland. Both received the award of M.B.E. for their services. Irene embroidered beautifully and took a keen interest in South Polar exploration. She was the only one of us who did not write! Christine wrote adult fiction for airmen, juvenile fiction for boys and a journal of a visit to the Holy Land, besides editing the Christian magazine for soldiers and airmen, "Forward". Doreen joined the Western Canada Caravan Mission and for many years travelled over Canada from coast to coast, bringing the Christian message to lonely settlers and Indians in distant parts of that vast country. She wrote two books for girls. Phyllis, who had very delicate health, wrote many short stories and articles about flowers and garden topics." I can add a little trivia too: In the family Constance was always called Winifred. And Elizabeth Hummerstone (her official name) calls herself Clarissa in the family. Unlike her "Aunt Winifred", Elizabeth Clarissa is rather long in answering letters. If you look for books by Constance, don't choose books published by Lutterworth in the first place. They are "sweet" but not so interesting. My own favourite is "Green Emeralds for the King" (from the English Civil War), also published in the USA in an abridged version and without the word "Green" in the title. Other very readable books are "Enemy Brothers", "Forbidden Doors" (US title "Tenthragon"), "The Reb and the Redcoats" to name a few. Constance also very proudly pointed out that she was "Another Lady", who finished the book "Emma" by Charlotte Brontë after that author's death. Best wishes Agneta =========================================================== Constance's goddaughter, Elizabeth Clarissa Hummerstone.
