SUMMARY:South Bend’s Bottleneck – Where River\, Rail\, and Road Crossed Paths
DESCRIPTION:South Bend’s early history is defined by the confluence and intersection of transportation: by river\, by train\, and by road.  Rivers\, rails\, and highways provided ready access to power and natural resources\, faraway markets for the sale of manufactured goods\, as well as leisure in the form of entertainment and excursions.  The manufactories founded along these routes created products and employment\, while residential neighborhoods\, parks\, and educational institutions were established between them.  Titans of industry negotiated with both State government and the City of South Bend to ensure networks of communication and commerce were consistent and uninterrupted. \nThe northern approaches to the City of South Bend contain natural topography and geography that result in what came to be known in the early 20th century as “The Bottleneck”\, leading to massive infrastructure improvements to overcome it.  These bridges\, viaducts\, and paths continue to be used today\, conveying people and material from one place to another. \nSouth Bend’s Historic Preservation Administrator Adam Toering will talk about the development of the near north side of South Bend\, the establishment and construction of bridges across the St. Joseph River\, the routing of rail to connect industrial manufacturing including how those routes both encouraged and limited development by creating ‘the Bottleneck’\, and how that legacy continues to impact the city’s growth today. \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum. Studebaker National Museum and Campus members are admitted free!

SUMMARY:The South Bend Watch Company: 1902 to 1929
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1800’s\, the railroads drove the need for high quality\, accurate timepieces. By 1900\, American manufactures were producing what were arguably the best watches in the world. The South Bend Watch Company came into existence in 1902 when a number of local business men\, including members of the Studebaker family\, purchased the Columbus Watch Company and moved the operation to South Bend. \nAlthough most of the company’s records have been destroyed\, the efforts of many individuals\, organizations\, local and national journalists ensured that the company has not been forgotten. Bill Stockton will present on the events that led up to the creation of the company\, a look at the company’s operations as well as some technical information on their products.  His talk will end with the demise of the South Bend Watch Company. \nAs an extra\, if you have a South Bend watch and would like to learn what grade/model\, size\, year made and/or estimated value\, please bring the watch to the talk.  Bill has offered to stay after the presentation and share the information he has on the watch. \nAbout Speaker Series\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum. Studebaker National Museum and Campus members are admitted free!

SUMMARY:On the Future of Electric Vehicles & Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Peter H. Bauer\, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame\, joins us to take our electric car exhibition into the 21st century.  This presentation discusses current and future trends in electrical transportation\, with a particular focus on battery-powered electric vehicles. The industry is currently undergoing a revolution not seen since the end of the 19th century. \nThere are essentially three areas that will forever change the vehicular transportation landscape: Electrification\, autonomy\, and connectivity. It is the junction of these three areas that will drastically change the way how we will use vehicles\, especially electric vehicles\, in the future.  This talk will show that there is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to EV range\, efficiency\, and sustainability in general\, but the good news is that we are now developing the necessary tools and we are  well on the way to achieve the goal of sustainable transportation. \n  \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum. Studebaker National Museum and Campus members are admitted free!

SUMMARY:Wired: The Rise (and Fall) of Electric Cars
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the 20th century\, the future of the new “horseless carriage” was anyone’s guess. Dozens of companies sprang up to build automobiles\, and these were powered by everything from electricity to gasoline to steam. Yes\, steam. Join Studebaker National Museum Curator Kyle Sater for an in-depth look at some of the earliest electric cars from companies like Studebaker and explore why gasoline eventually won the day—and why electric cars are suddenly back on the scene today. \nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum.

SUMMARY:Building a Better HUMVEE: Afghanistan\, Iraq and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Col. H. Donald Capps U.S. Army\, Retired\, explores how the IED (Improvised Explosive Device) affected combat vehicular operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through 2012 leading to the UAH (Up-Armored HMMWV) and the development of the MRAP family of vehicles and their deployment into theater. \nWhile the Jeep was a ubiquitous presence during World War II and symbolic of that war\, the HMMWV and the MRAP are the vehicles that featured prominently during the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. In general\, you will walk away with a better understanding of an area of military vehicular operations that is often overlooked and not often appreciated. \nLearn about the training support operations relating to these vehicles\, especially the development of Egress Trainers for the HMMWV and MRAP vehicles.  In addition\, several other items such as the employment of combat training simulators in theater will be looked at as well. \nAbout the Series\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular lecture admission is $2\, and tickets can be purchased at the door. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum.

SUMMARY:Streamlined: The Studebaker Connection
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibition Streamlined: Style in Motion is a fascinating study of a beautiful design language. The advent of industrial design combined with wind tunnel testing saw the boxy shapes of the 1920s give way to graceful streamlined silhouettes that spread across the entire industry. Streamlined: Style in Motion features some of the landmark automobiles from this period. \nThe eight cars in the exhibition also have an unexpected similarity: each has an intriguing connection to Studebaker. Join us as Aaron kicks off the 2019 Speaker Series with a look at these fascinating connections through the Studebaker lens.
