Indice [nascondi] 1 La nascita 2 I Gran Premi 3 Note 4 Altri progetti La nascita[modifica | modifica wikitesto] Nota anche come Alfetta per le ridotte dimensioni, è entrata, nella storia dell'automobilismo sportivo moderno, come la monoposto più longeva (ha corso, infatti, sui circuiti di tutto il mondo, per ben 13 anni, dal 1938 al 1950, nelle sue varie versioni, ma mantenendo l'impianto costruttivo originario) ed anche, come quella che ha conseguito il maggior numero di successi nei Gran Premi automobilistici. Nasce nella primavera del 1937, nelle officine della Scuderia Ferrari, che, a quei tempi, era il reparto sperimentale della Alfa Romeo, su progetto di Gioacchino Colombo, e con la preziosa collaborazione, specie per la parte riguardante le sospensioni ed il cambio, dell'ingegnere Alberto Massimino. La sigla 158 stava ad indicare, secondo una consuetudine del tempo, la cilindrata, di 1500 cc, ed il numero dei cilindri, 8; il motore era sovralimentato, con un compressore volumetrico Roots monostadio. Fin dalle prime prove al banco dimostra notevoli doti di potenza ed affidabilità, arrivando a sviluppare 180 CV, a 6.500 giri al minuto, potenza che, alla sua prima apparizione in pista, giunge a 195 CV, a 7.000 giri/minuto. I Gran Premi[modifica | modifica wikitesto] Una 158. L'Alfa Romeo 158 debutta ufficialmente alla Coppa Ciano di Livorno del 7 agosto 1938, su un percorso cittadino di 5,800 m da ripetere 25 volte, per un totale di 145 km, ed è subito vincente, con Emilio Villoresi 1°, e Clemente Biondetti 2°. L'evoluzione successiva (modello B), porta la data del 1939, e, con una potenza cresciuta a 225 CV, a 7.500 giri/minuto, si aggiudica la Coppa Ciano di Livorno, del 30 luglio 1939, e la XV Coppa Acerbo di Pescara, del 13 agosto 1939, con Clemente Biondetti. Purtroppo, il clima prebellico impedirà a questa vettura di correre oltrefrontiera. Nel 1940, a causa dello scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale, le gare automobilistiche si ridussero drasticamente, ed ancora di più l'anno successivo, 1941, svolgendosi quasi esclusivamente nel Sud America, con una ridotta presenza di mezzi e piloti europei. A guerra terminata, nel 1946, si torna a gareggiare e l'Alfetta, ulteriormente alleggerita e potenziata rispetto all'anteguerra (modello 158/46; 254 CV; 7.500 giri/minuto; peso di 630 kg), si aggiudica, con Nino Farina, il I Grand Prix des Nations di Ginevra, del 21 luglio, piazzando anche al 2º posto Carlo Felice Trossi ed al 3° Jean-Pierre Wimille. Vince anche, con Achille Varzi, il III Gran Premio del Valentino, che si svolge a Torino il 1º settembre (2°Jean-Pierre Wimille, anche lui su Alfetta), e, con Carlo Felice Trossi, si aggiudica il III Circuito di Milano, del 30 settembre, con Achille Varzi 2°, e Consalvo Sanesi 3°, anche loro su Alfetta. Nel 1947, grazie alla adozione di un compressore volumetrico Roots a 2 stadi, la potenza viene ulteriormente elevata a 275 CV, sempre a 7.500 giri/minuto (modello 158/46B), e, in quell'anno, si aggiudica: il VII Grand Prix de Suisse, dell'8 giugno, a Bremgarten, con Jean-Pierre Wimille (2° Achille Varzi, e 3° Carlo Felice Trossi, sempre su Alfetta); il VII Grand Prix de Belgique, del 29 giugno, sul circuito di Spa-Francorchamps, sempre con Jean-Pierre Wimille (2° Achille Varzi, e 3° Carlo Felice Trossi, anche loro su Alfetta); il I Gran Premio di Bari, del 13 luglio, con Achille Varzi (2° si piazza Consalvo Sanesi con una seconda vettura); il XVII Gran Premio d'Italia, del 7 settembre, al Parco Sempione di Milano. La vittoria va a Carlo Felice Trossi, mentre altre 3 Alfette si piazzano al 2º posto, con Achille Varzi, al 3°, con Consalvo Sanesi, ed al 4° con Alessandro Gaboardi. Nel 1948, a stagione inoltrata, la potenza sale ulteriormente, fino a 315 CV, sempre a 7.500 giri/minuto (modello 158/47). In quest'anno, si aggiudica: l'VIII Grand Prix de Suisse, del 4 luglio, a Bremgarten, con Carlo Felice Trossi vincente davanti a Jean-Pierre Wimille, anch'esso su Alfetta (nelle prove dello stesso GP, Achille Varzi si era schiantato con la sua Alfetta perdendo la vita); il XXXV Grand Prix de l'Automobile Club de France, del 18 luglio, a Reims-Gueux, con Jean-Pierre Wimille primo, davanti a Consalvo Sanesi e Alberto Ascari, tutti con la stessa vettura; il XVIII Gran Premio d'Italia, che si svolge nel Parco del Valentino, il 5 settembre, e che vede vincente, ancora una volta, Jean-Pierre Wimille; il I Gran Premio dell'Autodromo di Monza, che si corre a Monza, il 17 ottobre, e che vede l'ennesima vittoria di Jean-Pierre Wimille, davanti a Carlo Felice Trossi, Consalvo Sanesi, e Piero Taruffi, tutti e 4 su Alfa Romeo 158. Il 1949 si apre nel peggiore dei modi, per l'Alfetta e per l'automobilismo mondiale: infatti, il 28 gennaio, durante le prove del Gran Premio Juan Domingo Peron, sul circuito del Parco Palermo di Buenos Aires, muore in un incidente, alla guida di una Gordini, Jean-Pierre Wimille, promettente pilota, che tanti successi aveva mietuto negli anni precedenti alla guida dell'Alfetta, e sul quale la casa milanese puntava anche per quell'anno. E, poco dopo, anche Carlo Felice Trossi morirà, per un male incurabile. In pochi mesi, la squadra corse dell'Alfa, dominatrice degli ultimi 3 anni di gare, è praticamente scomparsa. Si decide, pertanto, di non partecipare ad alcun Gran Premio. Nel 1950 avviene il debutto dell'Alfetta nel 1º Campionato del Mondo di Formula 1, con una squadra completamente nuova, che vede schierati due piloti italiani, Nino Farina, ed il non più giovane Luigi Fagioli, classe 1898, ed un pilota argentino, quasi quarantenne, ma di cui si dice un gran bene, tale Juan Manuel Fangio. Con una potenza di 350 CV, a 8.600 giri/minuto, e con un peso di soli 700 kg, che porta il rapporto peso/potenza al notevole (per quei tempi) valore di 2 kg/CV, l'Alfa Romeo 158 non ha praticamente rivali, aggiudicandosi 6 dei 7 Gran Premi di questa prima stagione mondiale (si considerano 6 Gran Premi, perché alla 500 Miglia di Indianapolis, anche se introdotta nel circuito mondiale, non parteciparono né piloti né macchine europee). Il 7º Gran Premio della stagione, il XXI Gran Premio d'Italia, ultima prova del mondiale 1950, che si svolge il 3 settembre sul circuito di Monza, se lo aggiudica, al debutto, la Alfa Romeo 159, naturale evoluzione della 158, con, alla guida, Nino Farina, che si aggiudica anche il 1º titolo di campione del mondo di Formula 1. I numeri di questa prima ed ultima avventura mondiale della Alfa Romeo 158, giunta alla sua tredicesima stagione, sono i seguenti: primi 3 posti nel Gran Premio di Gran Bretagna del 13 maggio 1950, con Nino Farina davanti a Luigi Fagioli, e, a seguire, Reg Parnell; 1º posto nel Gran Premio di Monaco del 21 maggio 1950, con Juan Manuel Fangio; primi due posti nel Gran Premio di Svizzera, del 4 giugno 1950, con Nino Farina ancora davanti a Luigi Fagioli; primi due posti nel Gran Premio del Belgio del 18 giugno 1950, con Fangio davanti a Fagioli; primi due posti nel Gran Premio di Francia del 2 luglio 1950, con Fangio che precede, ancora una volta, Fagioli; 3º posto con Fagioli, nell'ultimo appuntamento mondiale del Gran Premio d'Italia del 3 settembre. E poi, ancora, 5 giri veloci in 5 Gran Premi, e 5 pole position. Le doti principali di questa vettura, come riferirono tutti i grandi piloti che ebbero modo di condurla, furono potenza, velocità, affidabilità, estrema maneggevolezza.[1] Note[modifica | modifica wikitesto] ^ Alfa Romeo 158 'Alfetta'.

Drivers place. Alfa Romeo 159 at Nürburgring Wikimedia Commons has media related to Alfa Romeo 158/159. The Alfa Romeo 158/159, also known as the Alfetta (Little Alfa in Italian[1]), is one of the most successful racing cars ever produced. The 158 and its derivative, the 159, took 47 wins from 54 Grands Prix entered.[2] It was originally developed for the pre-World War II voiturette formula (1937) and has a 1.5 litre straight-8 supercharged engine. Following World War II, the car was eligible for the new Formula One introduced in 1947. In the hands of drivers such as Nino Farina, Juan-Manuel Fangio and Luigi Fagioli, it dominated the first two seasons of the World Championship of Drivers. Contents [hide] 1 Overview 2 Race victories 3 Complete Formula One World Championship results 4 Notes Overview[edit] The first version of this successful racing car, the 158, was made during 1937/1938. The main responsibility for engineering was given to Gioacchino Colombo.[3] The car's name refers to its 1.5 litre engine and eight cylinders.[4] The voiturette class was for racing cars with 1.5 litre engines, standing in the same relation to the top 'Grand Prix' formula (usually for 3 litre engines) as the GP2 series does to Formula One today. Alfa's 3 litre racing cars in 1938 and 1939 were the Tipo 308, 312 and 316. The 158 debuted with the works Alfa Corse team at the Coppa Ciano Junior in August 1938 at Livorno, Italy, where Emilio Villoresi took the car's first victory. At that time the 1479.56 cc (58.0 x 70.0 mm) engine produced around 200 bhp (150 kW) at 7000 rpm.[5] with the help of a single-stage Roots blower. More success came at the Coppa Acerbo, Coppa Ciano and Tripoli Grand Prix in May 1940.[6] Soon World War II stopped development of the car for six years. After the war the engine was developed further to push out 254 bhp (189 kW) in 1946. In 1947, the Alfetta was put back into service. The new rules allowed 1500 cc supercharged and 4500 cc naturally aspirated engines. The 158 was modified again, this time to produce over 300 bhp (220 kW) and was denoted as Tipo 158/47. The car made a tragic debut in the 1948 Swiss Grand Prix where Achille Varzi lost control of his car and was killed. Another loss for the team came in practice for the 1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix, where Jean-Pierre Wimille was killed in an accident (driving with Simca-Gordini).[7] In 1950, the 158 was eligible for the new Formula One European Championship. The car won every race in which it competed during that first season of Formula One; it was incredible that a car which had originated in 1938 was so victorious, most likely because all the other constructors (as few as there were) had less money to build and develop their cars and the Alfa had so much development time. The Alfa Romeo team included talented drivers such as Giuseppe Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio, the latter of whom later won the World Drivers' Championship five times. At the end of the 1950 season, a further updated version known as the 159 was produced, which was used for the 1951 season. This version had reworked rear suspension, the old swing axle was replaced with a De-Dion axle and the engine produced around 420 bhp (313 kW) at 9600 rpm. But this amount of power out of a small engine with a big supercharger came at a price- it had horrendous fuel consumption. It did 1 1/2 miles to the gallon- compared to the Talbot-Lagos of the time which did 10 miles to the gallon. The reason for this was because the simplistically designed engine had been virtually unmodified, while bigger superchargers had been added over time. The British Grand Prix at Silverstone was the first Formula One Grand Prix not won by an Alfa primarily because Fangio and Farina both had to stop twice simply to re-fuel their cars- and the Ferrari of José Froilán González did better on fuel and would go on to win the race, with Fangio second. Still, the Alfa had the edge on performance and with wins in Switzerland, France and Spain, Fangio won his first of five championships that year. For their second-to-last World Championship race (until 1979), the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Alfa Romeo introduced a new evolution version known as the 159M, the "M" standing for Maggiorata ("enlarged").[8] After an unsuccessful bid by Alfa Romeo to obtain government assistance to meet development costs, the team announced their retirement from Grand Prix racing at the end of 1951.[9] This, combined with problems for other Formula One teams lead to a decree by the FIA that all Grand Prix races counting towards the World Championship of Drivers in 1952 and 1953 would be for cars complying with Formula Two rather than Formula One .[9] The car's last Grand Prix win came in 1953 at Merano Grand Prix, Italy.[4] Race victories[edit] DateTypeRaceLocationClassDriver August 7, 1938158Coppa CianoLivornoVoituretteEmilio Villoresi September 11, 1938158Milan Grand PrixMonzaVoituretteEmilio Villoresi July 30, 1939158Coppa CianoLivornoVoituretteGiuseppe Farina August 13, 1939158Coppa AcerboPescaraVoituretteClemente Biondetti August 20, 1939158Swiss Grand PrixBremgartenVoituretteGiuseppe Farina May 12, 1940158Tripoli Grand PrixLibyaVoituretteGiuseppe Farina July 21, 1946158Grand Prix of NationsGeneva-Giuseppe Farina September 1, 1946158Valentino Grand PrixTurin, Valentino Parknon-Champ.

PETERBOROUGH, Ont, MARCH 16, 1885. Messrs. Garland & Thompson have started a â aw mill at Portage la Prairie, Man. All of the Canadian voyageurs, except 70, who went to Egypt to assist the British army in the ascent of the Nile, have returned. A factory at St. Mary's, Ohio, has furnished 120,000 oars for the Nile expedition against the Mahdi. Gibbs Brothers, of Mayfield, Grand Tra- verse county, Mich., has about 1,000,000 feet of hardwood banked. While chopping down a tree in the township of Peel, Ont., Alex. McClance was almost instantly killed by a falling limb. John Ruprecht has his new mill at Stephen- son, Menominee region, Mich., about ready to start. Its capacity will be 50,000 feet a day. J. C. Marble and C. O. Foster are putting 1,350,000 feet of spruce into Androscoggin river, at Rumford, Me , for the Livermore pulp mill. Mr. Prenevau's new saw mill at Belmont Lake, Peterborough County, will be 30x66 feet and will have a capacity of 20,000 feet a day. It will commence running about May 1st. This season, it is stated, will finish the pine owned by Heald, Murphy & Crepin, on White river, Mich., and their mill property at White Lak will be for sale after next'season's sawing. The Vanceboro, Me., Wooden Ware Company has received an order for three car loads of clothes pint to go to Australia, and the Augusta Furniture Company is turning out ash sets to go to England. Recently at Burrard Inlet, British Columbia, the following vessels were loading lumber for distant ports: The bark Persia, for Great Britain ; the ship Lorenzo, for Melbourne ; the â¢hip Argonaut for Cape of Good Hope; and the bark Mizpah for River Plate, South Amerioa. Wet wood is more easily cut than dry, being softer, but the saw requires to be coarse set and very sharp ; consequently there is more waste, Frozen wood is much more difficult to saw than dry, and the teeth should be more like those used for hard wood. As George Wright, of Foxboro, was hauling logs north of Madoc, Ont., he fell under the sleigh, heavily loaded, and was pinioned for two hours, while his comrade went some distance to procure help. All the time he suffered extreme agony. It was afterward reported that he had died. Frank Barnhardt has begun suit in the Muskegon, Mich., circuit court against Charles H. Hackley for $20,000 damages suffered by son son, John Barnhardt by the upsetting of a lumber pile in 1883. The pile was thrown into the lake from off a dock owned by C. H. Hackley & Co., that broke down, and Barnhardt was caught in the falling lumber, pressed down in the water and drowned. Robert P. Penman, whose headquarters are at Evansville, Ind , has contracted for 1,000,600 feet of southern oak for his house in Glasgow > Scotland, James Kennedy k Co. The contracts were made at Nashville, South Pittsburgh and Chattanooga, Tenn. His firm furnishes a large number of oak cross ties for the British railroads. The ties are creosoted before they are laid in the roadbed. McBurney & Co., of West Gravenhurst, are taking out this winter in the township of Hum- phrey, 2,000,000 feet by their own camp, and by J. J. Barns, jobber, 250,000 feet. They have some 2,000,000 left over from last year, which will give them, altogether, a stock of 4,000,000 for next summer's cutting. The firm intend operating in the woods as long as the winter lasts, and will .probably supplement to above output by half a million. The Ottawa,. St. Lawrence & Schenectady railroad is a newly incorporated enterprise, with a capital stock of $2,000,000, the object being to build a railroad from Schenectady, N. Y., to the St. Lawrence river, in the county of the same name, there to connect with a road to Ottawa, Ont., the passage accross the great river to be made by means of a bridge. The route would be a direct one between New York and Ottawa, and consequently would at once become an important thoroughfare for Canada lumber. It would also travel the western portions of the Adirondack wilderness, and open up much timber land in that region. TJ. S. FORESTRY'. To the Editor of the Canada Lumberman. Dear Sir,âThe American Forestry Congress has published three numbers of a "Forestry Bulletin," which I presume you have received, I send the last one and some other publications upon the subject, Since July, 1883, I have resided' with my family here, still working for the Department of Agriculture. The Department has a fourth volume of reports in press, a part of which I prepared. fg< )n Saturday last we organized, at Utica, " A New York State Forestry Association," with Andrew D. White, (President of the Cornell University) as President. Our Legislature has half a dozen bills before them for forestry protection, fcut none of them in my opinion will pass. A Dub committer is appointed from both Houses to digest anji pre- pare a bill from them all. It will hold a session to-morrow evening^ and I am invited to adfdress them. Important changes in the Department of Ag- riculture are close at hand, in Washington, and if the present commissioner does' not remain the future welfare of forestry in our general Government will depend very much upon the choice of his successor. R I notice that my son, F. H. Hough, furnishes you with patent lists. He may have sent you his card, printed on cross-section of maple. If B. Hough, with a machine invented by himself and constructed with his own hands. He is now putting in steam power and will be soon ready to produce them from various kinds of wood, and in any quantities. He sells them at $1.00 per 100 or $5.00 per 1,000, and has done quite a business in a small way, chiefly for orna- mental painting as Christmas and fancy cards. His ultimate object is to issue one or more volumes of. wood-sections with descriptive text. I send an exceedingly thin section of the Magnolia, which shows a wonderful optical property. Hold it to a luminous point in the dark, and notice the brightly colored pathelia. The cause of this easily enough understood It is but one of several kinds of prismatic effect which these woods display, and which will be fully described and explained in his publication' Yours truly, FRANKLIN B. HOUGH, Agent of Forestry Division, Department of Agriculture. Lowville, N. Y., Feb. 27th, 1885. TORONTO LUMBER YARDS To the Editor of the Canada Lumberman. Dear Sir,âI would not like to deal with all that appears in the Lumberman at the hand of your Toronto correspondent. But one thing calls for special mention. He says the retail yards are overstocked and then undertakes to suggest a remedy. In the first place I have to say there is not a retail yard in this city over stockedânot one ; nor is there one suffering any special anxiety. Then as the remedy. Your correspondent suggests that a large retail yard be opened in the outskirts of the city with switches into it from the railroad. Which rail- road, may I presume the C. P. R. ? I would like to know what he would do with the millions of feet now in railway yards ; would he move it out of them to his ideal yard or does he propose to get the C. P. R. to bring in lumber from Ottawa and from the French river, via Owen Sound. If he does, and his dreams ever come to pass in solid fact, he will then learn that its the wholesale men who are overstocked and suffering from anxiety, and that the lumber in their yards will, to a large extent, rot right where it is, viz., in the railway yards of this city. I may with your kind indulgence take in account the matter of price in another issue. Truly yours, N. A. P. Toronto, March 4th, 1885. not, the inclosed may "prove a novelty. They are made here by my Becond son Romeyn J ftdopt his recommendations ONTARIO FORESTS. The annual forestry report of the Ontario Government from the pen of Mr. R. W. Phipps will be perused with much interest by many of our readers, for it is a mistake to suppose that lumbermen are mere tree destroyers, some of the most zealous advocates of forest preservation being found among their ranks. . A great portion of this valuable address is more especially interesting to the farmers, deal- ing with the necessity of plantations for pro- tection, and for their climatic influences. For the benefit of this class is all the information in reard to the manner of planting and selection of trees. The statements by manufacturers as to the variety of woods used for different purposes is of interest and may be of service to our readers. The account of the watershed of Eastern Ontario with its forests is interesting. The conclusions drawn by Mr. Phipps are evidently well warranted ; one being that a forest reserva- tion should be established, and the other that greater precautions should be taken by the Government against fires. He shows plainly by his description how dangerous to the forest is the system of encouraging settlers, right among the pines, on land ill fitted for farming. A division of our public lands into forest and agricultural districts would be more economical and better for all concerned. The concluding portion of the report contains information as to the forest reservation in the Province of Quebec, the Dominion of Canada and the United States. This good example may well be followed by Ontario. Having oppointed Mr. Phipps, who has proved himself to be such an efficient officer, they should now LIST OF PATENTS.

Lord k Hughes' monthly circular, dated Melbourne, Jan. 14th, 1885, says:â Since the date of our last we have had a succession of Christmas and New Year's holidays, which have prevented sales, in fact nearly all business has been suspended. Sales that have taken place show a decline in nearly every line; but now that business has again fairly commenced we look for a more active de- mand. The arrivals of most descriptions have been heavy, especially from the Baltic ports. Trade' from the yards continues active, and with a slight cessation of arrivals we may look for a small advance. Red Deals.âImports : 1,354 standard, 5,081 pieces from the Baltic. The arrivals have been âBorder Chief and Felix, from Gefle, Savenas, from Skelleftea, and Svea, from SundswalL The cargo, ex Fritzoe, was offered at auction on 9th instant, all the K H B and H A B being quitted at prices quoted in our list of sales, C x x B brand being unsold, with the exception of small line 9x4.
