SUMMARY:The Birth of the Silver Arrows: Mercedes-Benz Racing
DESCRIPTION:The racing cars of Mercedes-Benz have been known as the “Silver Arrows” (Silberpfeile) since the 1930s in the years immediately preceding the Second World War. Along with the racing cars of the Auto Union company\, the silvery-liveried German machines of the two companies dominated Grand Prix racing from 1934 to 1939. After the Second World War\, Mercedes-Benz once again returned to racing with a new generation of Silver Arrows in 1954 and 1955. In recent years\, the Mercedes Formula 1 team has won six world championships in a row\, from 2014 to 2019\, also using a livery that is basically silver. \nHow and why the Silver Arrows of the 1930s came into being has often been attributed to an incident that occurred during the weigh-in for the Eifelrennen (Eifel Race) at the Nűrburgring in June 1934. For many years\, the account given by the manager of the Mercedes-Benz racing team\, Alfred Neubauer\, was accepted at face value and repeated in books and magazines.\nHowever\, in recent years there have been those challenging this account. The Mercedes-Benz Heritage Information Center became aware of the various challenges to the tale attributed to Alfred Neubauer and in July 2007 held a symposium at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach\, Germany to discuss this issue. \nPreeminent Automotive Historian Col. H. Donald Capps U.S. Army\, Retired will take us into this fascinating story and explore whether or not there is truth in the famous story or there is more to the story than meets the eye. \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:Speaker Series: Preston Tucker and the Tucker 48
DESCRIPTION:Preston Tucker and his Tucker 48 inspire admiration – and debate – to this day. Tucker built 51 cars before a shortage of money and a surplus of bad publicity closed his company. Some think GM\, Ford and Chrysler conspired to destroy Tucker. More likely\, he simply was overwhelmed by the enormous cost of building an automobile company from scratch. Join Matt Anderson\, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford Museum\, for a look back at the man and his dream and try to determine where it all went wrong. \nPhoto from the Collections of The Henry Ford

SUMMARY:Studebaker Housing: The Citizens Home Company
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th century\, planned communities were growing in popularity throughout the US. For example\, George Pullman wanted to attract and retain talented workers for his business in Chicago. He believed that providing a quality standard of living would keep workers happy\, productive\, and less likely to strike. \nSouth Bend did not have anything quite that organized; instead industry leaders used residential new construction to compete for workers. In 1919 the Citizens Home Company was formed as part of the Studebaker Corporations’ housing company. \nAdam Toering\, Historic Preservation Administrator with the City of South Bend\, will talk about the various neighborhoods that were built by the Citizens Home Company\, providing quality worker housing for Studebaker employees at a discounted price. The Rev. Dr. Charles A. Lippincott\, a former First Presbyterian Church minister\, hung up the frock and went to work for Studebaker labor relations\, spearheading this exciting program. \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium.

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.

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.

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.
