Transcript
- 0:00Brake Fix's History of Motorsports series is brought to you in part
- 0:04by the International Motor Racing Research Center, as well as the
- 0:07Society of Automotive Historians, the Watkins Glen Area Chamber of
- 0:11Commerce, and the Argettsinger family.
- 0:16Harry Miller, The Man and the Cars by Gordon Elliott White Mr.
- 0:20White is a retired newspaper correspondent who covered Washington, D.
- 0:24C., Europe, and the Far East for the Chicago American, and
- 0:27other newspapers for 34 years.
- 0:29After he retired from newspaper work, he became the Smithsonian Institution's
- 0:33auto racing advisor, following a sport he has enjoyed since 1939.
- 0:38He since has written seven books on the history of American open wheel racing,
- 0:42including the history of Fred Offenhauser and the Offenhauser Racing Engine.
- 0:47He has served as the unofficial historian of the Harry A.
- 0:50Miller Club, and as curator and archivist of more than 12, 000 drawings.
- 0:55tracings, and blueprints of Miller's cars and engines, as well as thousands of
- 0:59documents covering the history of American racing since the early 20th century.
- 1:03His presentation will address Harry Miller and Miller's impression on American
- 1:07racing, as well as how aficionados rediscovered him after he had been all but
- 1:12forgotten and over the past 40 years have unearthed and restored many of his cars.
- 1:19All right, folks.
- 1:19Next up, we have Harry Miller, the man in the car, Gordon Elliott White.
- 1:26Thank you, Bob, and good morning.
- 1:29It's nice to be back in Watkins Glen.
- 1:32I first visited here in 1951 and 1952 when they were running the races on
- 1:37the streets of Watkins Glen, and as I recall, they had the Queen Catherine's
- 1:42Cup, and I was just told they also had the Seneca Cup, and then the Grand
- 1:46Prix was the piece de resistance.
- 1:50I was a freshman at Cornell in 1951 and a race fan, which led me to
- 1:55come over here to watch the races.
- 1:57While I was at Cornell, I ran a few rallies with my hot rod, one of which
- 2:01I actually want to the amazement of my mostly sports car competitors.
- 2:06My first photos are Harry Miller, one with his 91 cubic inch straight
- 2:12eight engine supercharged in the second with a supercharger.
- 2:16My subject today is Harry Miller and his legacy.
- 2:19Miller built both racing cars and engines, and his engine designs dominated
- 2:24American racing for nearly 60 years.
- 2:26Later, they were known as Offenheiser engines, but they were based on Miller's
- 2:31design and general engine architecture.
- 2:33They would have lasted longer in Indianapolis if the supercharge of
- 2:36boost pressures had not been limited to Protect the competing four can't
- 2:41afford engines, which couldn't take as much boost as the offing.
- 2:44Griffith Borgeson has described Miller as quite simply the greatest creative figure
- 2:49in the history of the American racing car.
- 2:51Harry was born in Menominee, Wisconsin, son of German immigrants.
- 2:55He had very little formal schooling.
- 2:57Menominee was a lumber town, and he learned mechanical trades on
- 3:01steam engines and other heavy equipment in the lumber mills.
- 3:04He left Wisconsin to seek his fortune in Los Angeles, working in a bicycle shop.
- 3:10He took correspondence courses in various mechanical subjects, which was
- 3:15the only technical training he ever had.
- 3:17At one point he worked as a foundry foreman, where he learned the
- 3:20art of casting, which became very important in his life later on.
- 3:251960 went to work for the Oldsmobile Company and wrote as a mechanic on
- 3:30that year's Oldsmobile entry in the Vanderbilt Cup races on Long Island.
- 3:34Olds didn't do very well in the Vanderbilt Cup, and Harry returned to Los
- 3:38Angeles, eventually setting up a shop to produce carburetors of his own design.
- 3:43Patented several carburetor designs, and they were aftermarket
- 3:48carburetors on passenger cars.
- 3:50The Miller carburetor, however, turned out to be quite successful
- 3:53for racing cars, led Miller to do custom work for many of the racers.
- 3:59The Miller shop became the winter headquarters for many of the racing
- 4:02people, and he had customers including Barney Oldfield, Bob Berman, and
- 4:07Dario Resta, which at that time were the top people in American racing.
- 4:12As Miller built racing equipment, his design work followed the empirical
- 4:16habit of Americans, learning by experiment, much as had Thomas Edison,
- 4:21who designed the light bulb by trying out, I think, 200 different things for
- 4:25his filament, and Henry Ford, neither of whom had university educations.
- 4:30By comparison, in Europe at the time, trained engineers led most
- 4:35of the, uh, technical development.
- 4:37And, uneducated race drivers, Jules Goh, George Ballot, and Paolo Cuccarelli,
- 4:44were called Les Charlatans when they designed the first overhead cam engine
- 4:48for Peugeot, much to the disgust of the trained engineers that worked for Peugeot.
- 4:53Goh drove an overhead cam Peugeot to win at Indianapolis in 1913.
- 4:58Bob Berman bought it.
- 4:59Blew the engine in a race at San Diego and took the remains to
- 5:03Harry Miller to have it rebuilt.
- 5:05Eddie Rickenbacker, also on his terms, unloaded his broken down Peugeot
- 5:10on Miller, calling it the major mistake of my racing career because
- 5:13he made a tremendous car out of it.
- 5:15Miller, in the process of rebuilding the Peugeots, educated himself in
- 5:19the best European engine practices.
- 5:22The first complete car that Miller built was called the Golden Submarine.
- 5:26It carried one of the engines that he had designed.
- 5:29The engine was also, perhaps, to go onto an aircraft.
- 5:32And Miller hoped to sell those engines either for racing or airplanes.
- 5:37In 1916, Barney Oldfield had Miller build this radical enclosed
- 5:41racing car powered by that engine.
- 5:43As I say, it was painted in gold lacquer and became known as the Golden Submarine.
- 5:47Oldfield drove it in a number of races.
- 5:49It was not immensely successful, but it won a few races.
- 5:53At Springfield, Illinois, He crashed in the car caught fire.
- 5:57So after that, Barney cut off the rest of the body so he wouldn't be trapped in it.
- 6:02From the Golden Submarine, Miller went on to build a few more experimental
- 6:05racing cars, the best of them being the TNT, after Leo Goosen, who was
- 6:10a trained engineer and draftsman who came from Buick, joined his staff.
- 6:14Goosen supplied the technical knowledge of a trained engineer that Miller lacked, and
- 6:19he would go on to become the preeminent race engine designer in North America.
- 6:23Somewhat earlier, Miller had hired Fred Offenheiser as a machinist.
- 6:27Offenheiser had been trained in the railroad shops, and at the time, the
- 6:32railroad shops were what NASA became.
- 6:34It was the highest level of technical work and design in the country.
- 6:38From the Golden Submarine, Miller went on to build a few
- 6:42more experimental race cars.
- 6:44In 1920, four Miller engine cars were entered into Indianapolis,
- 6:48but none of them qualified.
- 6:50During the following year, Miller and driver Tommy Milton helped design a
- 6:55straight engine of 183 cubic inches that embodied much of the engine
- 7:00architecture that remains through the life of Miller and Offenheiser engines.
- 7:05Ira Vail qualified one of these 183s in Indy in 1921 1922, Jimmy Murphy qualified
- 7:14with a Miller engine and won the race.
- 7:16In 1923, Millers competed in several European Grand Prix.
- 7:20They finished well, although they didn't win a race.
- 7:23This next picture is a front drive 91 cubic inch Miller car, and the
- 7:29man in the background with the bowler hat is Umbrella Mike Boyle.
- 7:34Boyle was a business agent for the Chicago Electrical Union as his day job.
- 7:38And you wonder how he made enough money out of being the business
- 7:41agent to afford race cars.
- 7:43But that was Chicago.
- 7:44Through the rest of the roaring twenties, Miller engine cars would win
- 7:47five of eight races at Indianapolis.
- 7:49Even his engine sizes were reduced first to 122 inches and then to 91 inches.
- 7:55Supercharging were used to increase the horsepower, even while engine
- 7:59Displacements were reduced.
- 8:01This is Ralph Hepburn and a front drive Miller 91.
- 8:05This is a car I will mention again later on.
- 8:07At the same time, Miller was also producing a four cylinder engine
- 8:11of 151 inches for racing boats.
- 8:13Eventually, a slightly larger four was produced for dirt track cars
- 8:17that are now known as sprint cars.
- 8:19Miller engines were the top of the line of speedboat racing in the 1920s.
- 8:23Eventually, bandleader Guy Lombardo would win the gold cup in a Miller
- 8:29engine speedboat, which started out named My Sin, and he named it Tempo Fourth.
- 8:36By 1929, Miller was at the top of the heap in racing, but his and the Duesenberg
- 8:40brothers tiny 91 cubic inch engines had gotten a long way from the original
- 8:46Indianapolis racing, which was largely stock cars with the fenders taken off.
- 8:51This is a Miller 91 piston, supercharged straight eight.
- 8:54Actually, this piston is out of one of Leon Duray's 1928 front drive Millers.
- 9:00I got it when the Smithsonian took one of Duray's cars in 1993, and it had
- 9:07been restored by Bob Rubin, the donor.
- 9:10The change that Rickenbacker pushed through the AAA contest board led
- 9:14to what was called the junk formula.
- 9:16They banned supercharges and allowed stock block engines, 366 cubic inches,
- 9:22quite a bit more than any of the Miller engines really were ever built.
- 9:26Miller engines continued to win, and in the Annapolis, nonetheless.
- 9:30In the early 1930s, Harry...
- 9:32Designed a series of innovative chassis powered by larger 230
- 9:36cubic inch engines, unsupercharged, in accordance with the rules.
- 9:41But those were depression years, and he couldn't sell enough
- 9:43230s to keep his business going.
- 9:46This picture is short of Catlin in one of the 230 chassis with a 16
- 9:50cylinder engine, Miller engine in it.
- 9:53However, Harry got into the custom passenger car business, which he
- 9:58couldn't sell enough of them to keep his business going either.
- 10:02The next photo is of the engine, which I, I think this is a pretty
- 10:05impressive V16 Miller engine, which later went into a race car.
- 10:11When Miller went bankrupt, he left Los Angeles forever, and although he was
- 10:16broke, he was still considered a genius by people who wanted, uh, race cars.
- 10:21This is a, a Miller Ford.
- 10:23Preston Tucker was able to talk Henry Ford into having Miller build a series of
- 10:28ten race cars, very advanced race cars, to carry the, the new Ford V8 engine.
- 10:34Unfortunately, they started billing them in March for a race in May, and they
- 10:39were not able to test them adequately.
- 10:41While they had some good drivers, Ted Horn was on.
- 10:44Four were able to qualify, but all of them fell out of the race in
- 10:4835, largely because of an inherent problem with the steering gear.
- 10:53Which, of course, much discouraged Henry Ford, and he
- 10:57sequestered the cars for a while.
- 10:59Eventually, they got out and were used in other ways.
- 11:03The unsuccessful passion car probably put the nail in the
- 11:06coffin of Miller's business.
- 11:08And at the bankruptcy auction, Miller's shop foreman, Fred Offenheiser, bought
- 11:12most of the machinery and patterns and set up his own shop to manufacture both
- 11:17parts and complete engines, eventually changing their name from Miller to
- 11:21Offenhauser, although they were, of course, based on Miller designs.
- 11:25And next, Gulf Oil hired Harry to build them a series of race cars.
- 11:30Unfortunately, they specified that they run on Gulf pump gasoline, which was not
- 11:35a very good idea because other people were running race cars, particularly
- 11:39in Indianapolis, with, uh, racing fuel, which made a lot more power.
- 11:43Harry didn't have Fred or Leo to calm some of his flights of fancy.
- 11:48This car, you will see, has a radiator made out of chrome plated tubing.
- 11:52That was a mistake.
- 11:53It overheated immediately and had to replace it with, uh, rather
- 11:58ugly conventional radiators.
- 12:00In any event, they took these cars to Indianapolis, but they had problems
- 12:05of all sorts getting them qualified.
- 12:08The fuel tanks were the bottom of the frame there.
- 12:11Mark, do you think they're an aerodynamic item?
- 12:14I'm not sure about that, but they were certainly a hazard because when a couple
- 12:19of them crashed, the next picture is one that crashed, ruptured the fuel tank,
- 12:24the car burned up, killed the driver.
- 12:28As World War II approached, Miller moved to Detroit and designed both aircraft
- 12:32and marine engines for the military.
- 12:34Preston Tucker lured him into designing an engine for both an armored car
- 12:38and a fighter plane, but Harry didn't have the engineering skill
- 12:42or knowledge to meet the Air Corps requirements for a military engine.
- 12:46He was still designing empirically by trial and error.
- 12:50That didn't suit the, uh, military.
- 12:53Harry was then living in Detroit and he died in Detroit in poverty in 1943.
- 12:58Now this is Fred Offenhauser, who had taken over producing Miller engines.
- 13:03In the early 1930s, midgets had become a real force in racing, but they were
- 13:09generally powered by junk engines, motorcycle engines, and to move the
- 13:14show along, several people decided they needed a professional racing engine.
- 13:19Offenhauser had Leo Goossen essentially cut a Miller 183 in half to produce
- 13:24a 97 cubic inch midget engine.
- 13:27It was an immediate success until the late seventies.
- 13:31They put Offenheiser and, uh, had produced 450 of those engines.
- 13:35We'll note some of the successes that the 1959 USAC, which replaced 3A as the
- 13:42dominant sanctioning body in American racing, held a series of Formula Libre
- 13:47races, pitting midges against sports cars.
- 13:50And the most famous of these held on the road course at Lime Rock.
- 13:53Connecticut.
- 13:54Roger Ward and an often as a part Curtis defeated the cream
- 13:58of the world's sports cars.
- 14:00This is Ward and the Canberran midget about to pass George
- 14:03Constantine and then Aston Martin dbr to shock the sports car world.
- 14:08The midget could defeat them.
- 14:10And I had a little success with an office midget.
- 14:13This is my car.
- 14:14Bonneville 1989 Where I set a midget record of 156.
- 14:18902 and then I set an FIA 2 liter unblown record of 153.
- 14:25198.
- 14:26Probably the only car to set a speed record after winning top
- 14:30prizes is an antique show car.
- 14:32The Offenheiser Indy engines, as I say, were penalized by not being able to run
- 14:36as much boost as they would have liked.
- 14:39This is, uh, Mark Alderson in the last Alfie powered car to be entered at Indy.
- 14:45He was in line for a qualification run when time ran out.
- 14:48And that was the end of the Offenheiser engines at In Indianapolis.
- 14:53This, by comparison, is an indie off engine 270 cubic inch.
- 14:58As you can see, it's somewhat larger than Miller's 90 ones.
- 15:02The first of the Erbil Miller Engines was a 2 55 cubic inch produced in 1935
- 15:10for Kelly Patello who won the ND 500.
- 15:13with it that year, putting the often eyes are off the engine at the top of the list.
- 15:17A series of Indy competitors.
- 15:19A lot.
- 15:20Leo Grissom said to his dying day that the engine was really a Miller.
- 15:24The following 37 Indy races, the engines known as often as a 1 28.
- 15:28In fact, five years in Indianapolis, all of the qualifying cars were off the power.
- 15:33In 1946, Fred often has a sold engine business to Lou Meyer, Dale Drake, who
- 15:38continued it under the often as a name.
- 15:41As I said, the office was displaced in Indianapolis by the four cam
- 15:44Ford engine, but it came back in the 19 seventies with turbocharging
- 15:48to win five more five hundreds.
- 15:50The last off the qualify came in 1980 This is, uh, a Turbo
- 15:54Offy owned by Roll of Allstat.
- 15:57As I say, it was in line to qualify, but didn't make it.
- 16:01270, 255, and later Turbocharged Offy dominated championship
- 16:05racing for many years.
- 16:06The smaller midget engine simply overwhelmed midget racing.
- 16:10After World War II, an Offy engine and a KERS chassis were so dominant.
- 16:14It was an event of any other car or engine won a race.
- 16:17The 220 Sprint car engine was the class on the half mile tracks as
- 16:21well, though because it cost more than the, uh, modified Model A
- 16:26engines and other passenger car engines, it was in a minority.
- 16:30In 1957, the small block Chevy with many more cubic inches became competitive,
- 16:35and the last year an office won the Sprint car championship was 1959.
- 16:40As I said, Miller died in Detroit in 1943, almost forgotten.
- 16:44After the war, few people remembered him, or that the dominant off roader
- 16:48engine had become life as a Miller.
- 16:49It was not until a dozen years after Miller's death that Griffith
- 16:53Borgeson, editor of Sports Car Illustrated magazine, began to
- 16:56write about Miller and his engines.
- 16:58And people began to appreciate Harry Miller.
- 17:00Leon Duret had taken his two Miller front drive cars to France in 1929,
- 17:05after the last Indianapolis race, before they were outlawed by the rules change.
- 17:10He sold them to Bugatti.
- 17:11They remained in France during World War II.
- 17:14Borgeson discovered them there in 1959 and brought them back to the United States.
- 17:18One went to the Indianapolis Speedway Museum.
- 17:21By 1990, the newspaper I was working for had lost half its circulation
- 17:26and couldn't afford me in Washington.
- 17:28So I took early retirement, went to the Smithsonian as their auto racing advisor.
- 17:33This is a photo of me in the Dura A car at Bridgehampton when I was trying
- 17:38to persuade Bob Rubin to donate to the Smithsonian, which he did in 1993.
- 17:43Bulgeson's writing about Miller generated a movement among a
- 17:47group of car collectors to find surviving Millers and restore them.
- 17:51In the early 1990s, Mark Dees of Moorpark, California, Chuck Davis of Chicago, Dave
- 17:56Eline of Milwaukee, and Bob Sutherland of Colorado organized the Harry A.
- 18:01Miller Club, which each July hosts a meet at the Mile Track in Milwaukee, where
- 18:06restored Millers and other front engine champ cars can be exercised at speed.
- 18:10This is a photo of the, uh, field at Milwaukee with mostly
- 18:14Miller cars and engines.
- 18:16Many of Miller's drawings and blueprints have survived.
- 18:19For 25 years, I've maintained an archive of more than 12, 000 such
- 18:23drawings, originals of which are now at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.
- 18:27By now, there are more Millers, many put together out of parts, than Harry built.
- 18:31The event at Milwaukee and shows such as Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, and Hershey
- 18:36pay appropriate honor to Harry Arminius Miller, a giant in American racing.
- 18:40Thank you.
- 18:41Thank you, Gordon.
- 18:50Do we have any questions for Gordon White?
- 18:53Gordon, you and I have worked together for a long time.
- 18:56I'm interested to just comment.
- 18:58There are a couple of things that remain.
- 19:00You might see in question that I'd like to bring up, but the, the first is
- 19:05that actually the design for the double overhead camshaft engine, the 183 was
- 19:12a result of the frustration of Tommy Milton with getting Duesenberg single
- 19:18overhead cam engines that he didn't think were up to level, but he did steal
- 19:23the specifications of the Duesenberg engines and brought them to Miller.
- 19:27Which, uh, produced, uh, the original, uh, double overhead cam, uh, Miller,
- 19:32which then he began to win races with a car called the Durant Special.
- 19:37And, uh, eventually, of course, uh, as I mentioned in my lecture, Jimmy Murphy
- 19:41and Harry Hartz got ahold of engines and eventually then, uh, Cliff Durant
- 19:46built, uh, I think a field of five cars.
- 19:49I'm interested, and I don't know if you've ever investigated this, but Jim O'Keefe
- 19:53and I were working hard on this question.
- 19:57And we believe actually that the first true full Miller racing car
- 20:02was called the Pan American, built prior to the Golden Submarine.
- 20:06It's never been fully accredited as such, and I'm wondering whether
- 20:10you have any comment on that.
- 20:12The final comment is just that, it's been said, there is really
- 20:16a real cult of Miller lovers, me being one, although I don't own one.
- 20:20Miller's achievements, at least prior to losing his company, were a result
- 20:26of competition that was from both Lewis Chevrolet and Fred and Olga
- 20:30Duesenberg, who introduced supercharging at the Indianapolis 500, and others.
- 20:36It's a fascinating era of American development in which Tires, fuels, and
- 20:43metals, lubricants, all of these things were, in essence, developed in the
- 20:48board track era, largely by Harry Miller and the Duesenbergs and, and, uh, and
- 20:53Louis Chevrolet, but comment is rather too long, except to say that I'd be
- 20:57interested to know if you've investigated.
- 21:00the Pan American as a car and whether or not indeed it was the
- 21:04first true full car built by Miller.
- 21:07From what I know, that's a, an unfounded rumor that might possibly be true.
- 21:12It's clear that Miller took advice from, uh, Milton and other drivers, car owners.
- 21:18He didn't do a lot of on track testing, a little, we have a few photos.
- 21:23Most of the testing was done in races and if things didn't work,
- 21:27they came back to Harry and said, you gotta fix this, you gotta fix that.
- 21:30And that continued through, often I was admiring Drake and Drake engineering.
- 21:35But I'm not really aware of definite knowledge on the Pan American.
- 21:40When did Henry, or did he, have any interest in aerodynamics and
- 21:45the streamlining of his cars?
- 21:47You could possibly say the Golden Submarine was an
- 21:50experiment in aerodynamics.
- 21:52It was certainly more aerodynamic than contemporary race cars at that point.
- 21:56It did not prove to be a world beater.
- 21:59As we saw, Barney Oldfield, likely to be trapped in a closed car, took it off.
- 22:05Pods on the Gulf Miller cars.
- 22:08If you look at them carefully, side pods there could be seen as an air foil.
- 22:13It was thought that perhaps Miller was designed to give downforce.
- 22:17That's as much as I'm aware of serious aerodynamics.
- 22:21Of course, the front drive cars without a drive shaft under the driver allows him to
- 22:25sit lower and they had less frontal area.
- 22:28So that was an aerodynamic advance right there.
- 22:31Gordon, one last.
- 22:32Gentleman in the back asked, has any of the tooling survived?
- 22:36Hoffenhauser or Miller, what have you?
- 22:38Not that I'm aware of.
- 22:40I've got photos of some of the Miller machine.
- 22:44Er bought some at the bankruptcy auction in 33.
- 22:48He's also said to have taken some out of the back door before the auction.
- 22:52Meyer and Drake undoubtedly got some when they bought out Fred er.
- 22:56I knew John Drake talked to him.
- 22:59I don't think anything had survived from Millers shop.
- 23:03His machinery was run at first by overhead shafts as machine shops were.
- 23:09running those days.
- 23:10Eventually they electrified some of the machinery.
- 23:13Machinery from the late 20s was probably not really useful by the time
- 23:18that John Drake went out of business.
- 23:20Some of the patterns have survived.
- 23:22Bob McConnell has a number of patterns.
- 23:24Kendall Merritt has a number of patterns.
- 23:27Dean Butler had quite a few and he sold them to somebody in Troy, Michigan.
- 23:31Unfortunately, during the Meyer and Drake years, patterns that were
- 23:35clearly obsolete were thrown away and some of them were burned up.
- 23:39A few people rescued some of those obsolete patterns.
- 23:43So I never have survived.
