Introduction <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lotus cars sold<\/p>\n

They were bought for their:-<\/p>\n

\n
Performance \u2013road or track<\/li>\n
Driving pleasure<\/li>\n
Reputation and image<\/li>\n
Aesthetics<\/li>\n
Symbolism<\/li>\n
Owner identification \/personality extension etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All the above were integrated within a total framework design.<\/p>\n
The above list is heavily dependent on a select group of components [either bought in proprietary or in house manufacture] that delivered the desired outcomes and met strict criteria.<\/p>\n
Many of these components often contributed significantly to the overall aesthetic, many are extremely functional and beautiful in their own right .They formed part of a complementary whole.<\/p>\n
In this series we examine:-<\/p>\n
\n
significant Individual components from all the marque types<\/li>\n
Briefly explain their role \/contribution \/evaluation<\/li>\n
Analysis form and function with regard to their integration, where appropriate<\/li>\n
Provide suppliers\/specialist advertising materials where appropriate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Understanding Lotus\u2019s use of proprietary parts provides invaluable learning opportunities not just historical but right up to the present day. These lessons are not just applicable to automotive engineers\/ designers but to the wider Industrial \/Product Design professions.<\/p>\n
The Skillful and creative adoption, absorption and integration of components was a powerful factor in the Chapman design methodology and contributed significantly to both competition and commercial success. It also feed his ability to mutate parts and materials to his desired ends.<\/p>\n
The use of components is a fundamental skill of the Industrial Designer and the direct provision of added value.<\/p>\n
The exact interpretation of sponsorship in conjunction with Lotus is difficult to establish objectively. The appearance of a sponsor\u2019s logo on a car is not necessarily evidence of financial support. Access to historical archive and contracts is sought wherever possible but with the passage of time and for various reasons these are not always available or accessible to the public.<\/p>\n
This series also embraces the specialist suppliers to Lotus. We are particularly interested in those suppliers and products that have a connectivity with aviation.<\/p>\n
In constructing the historic sponsor series, the A&R looks only at the logos worn in period and assumes the company involved had no objection to Lotus promoting their products. The A&R sees much to be gained by the wider promotion of sponsors but in the event that a specific organization disapproves for any reason that article will be removed.<\/p>\n
Sponsorship is an instrument of mutual benefit and promotion. Subscribers might like to see A&R articles on Sponsorship and Product Placement to understand the numerical \/ financial reach provided by sponsorship with its ability to identify and project status through identification.<\/p>\n
The principle continues particularly with regard to education based exhibitions [see below for details]<\/p>\n
Each of these articles is devoted to a company\/ organization that is believed to have sponsored or supplied specialist items to Lotus.<\/p>\n
The intention of each article is to: –<\/p>\n
\n
Explain the sponsors own history and outline their products and services \u2013 past-present and future<\/li>\n
Explain the historical connection with Lotus and the contribution made both in competition and the production cars<\/li>\n
To suggest how these two interlocking facets may be translated into exciting, interpretive, educational and commercial exhibitions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Subscribers might to see complementary and structured pieces to this article: –<\/p>\n

Marston Company Profile \/Abbreviated summary <\/strong><\/p>\n
From Graces Guide<\/p>\n
\u201cOf Wolverhampton and Leeds<\/p>\n
1919 Excelsior Motor Radiator Co<\/a> of Leeds was incorporated.<\/p>\n
1943 The radiator business of John Marston Ltd<\/a>, part of ICI Metals Division<\/a>, was merged with another ICI subsidiary Excelsior Motor Radiator Co<\/a> Ltd. of Leeds ^{[1]<\/sup><\/a> to become Marston Excelsior.<\/p>\n}
WWII Manufactured parts for the De Havilland Mosquito<\/a>. ^{[2]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n}
WWII Marston Excelsior made metal fuel tanks for Wellington Bombers and other aircraft; pioneered development of flexible non-metallic fuel tanks, and self-sealing covers through collaboration between ICI experts in dyestuffs, leather cloth, metals, paint and plastics ^{[3]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n}
1961 Designers, fabricators and sheet metal workers in aluminium and cuprous alloys, uranium, zirconium, tantalum, reinforced plastics and synthetic rubbers. Heat transfer specialists. Products include heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and pipework, bursting discs, special purpose machines, and industrial fans, flexible tanks for aircraft and bulk storage and transport of liquids. ^{[4]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n}
1969 Part of IMI Group<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Figure 2: From Graces Guide<\/p>\n
In the Chapman\/Lotus era the Company was identified with radiators for aviation and particularly cooling of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine in various applications.<\/p>\n
Lotus Connections <\/strong><\/p>\n
We believe that the following types were equipped with Marston Radiators:<\/p>\n
76\/77\/78\/79\/80\/81\/81B<\/p>\n
Lotus 79 in Incandela.<\/p>\n
Incandela devotes a detailed chapter and specification for the Lotus 79.<\/p>\n
On the subject of water cooling he states:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe water cooling system had a large single radiator mounted on the right hand side of the chassis.The original Marston had been replaced later on by aluminium Serk<\/em><\/p>\n
Coolers<\/em> of six of four rows according to the ambient track temperature and the coolers was joined to the engine \u2018s water pump by two 1.25 inch diameter aluminium pipes connected with a rubber hose and jubilee clips combination\u2026..<\/p>\n
The system was filled up from an aluminium water pot located right at the back and on top of the chassis fuel tank\u2026.<\/p>\n
The oil cooling system initially a single Marston, later a single Serk radiator mounted on the left side of the chassis, opposite the water cooler.Its positioning required rather long plumbing running to the bellhousing oil tank.<\/p>\n
Both main radiators were secured to the sides of the monocoque by a tensioned wire arrangement which actually clamped the radiators onto the chassis.<\/p>\n
The method was later changed by a single aluminium rod on each radiator.<\/p>\n
The fiberglass air exit ducts were in one piece for each radiator, separate from the rest of the bodywork and consequently easily to adapt, sealing pretty well the surroundings of the radiators \u201c<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Figure 3: Cutaway drawing from the net, but also featured in Incandela .Drawing by Giorgio Paola. Note in Incandela the drawing is annotated item No 10 indicates the Marston oil cooler and No.11 the water radiator (1978 World Championship Lotus 79)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Figure 4: Note this cutaway drawing by Mick Hill of the Lotus 79 appears in Cotton.Item 15 indicates the radiator<\/p>\n
# Note Cotton provides an additional photograph with the caption:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe radiators were mounted on the sides of the monocoque as fuel tank was moved to the centre of the car. Bracing was required to keep them stable\u201d (see Incandela\u2019s remarks above)<\/p>\n

Learning Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n
Our learning \/educational opportunities are intended to be challenging thought provoking and requiring additional research and\/or analysis.<\/p>\n
These opportunities are particularly designed for a museum\/education centre location where visitors would be able to enjoy access to all the structured resources available in conjunction with any concurrent exhibition.<\/p>\n
Understanding the potential of componentry particularly proprietary items provides some of the following learning opportunities; in this instance we suggest the following might be appropriate:-<\/p>\n

What is the importance of outsourcing to the motor industry?<\/li>\n
Study a British car specialist like Morgan, TVR, Ginetta or Lotus where do they source parts? What are the advantages?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Exhibitions, Education, Economics and Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the museum context the editors believe that commercial considerations are both necessary and complementary with its educational objectives.<\/p>\n
For these reasons our suggested outline Business Plan includes provision for promoting products and services which share Chapman\u2019s ideals of mechanical efficiency and sustainability. In addition we propose merchandising that explain and interprets the social and cultural context of Chapman\u2019s designs in period. It\u2019s suggested there will be catalogue for on line purchasing.<\/p>\n
In this instance we suggest the following exhibition titles might be appropriate:-<\/p>\n

Conclusion: \u201cThe whole is greater\u2026\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
There can be little doubt about the significant contribution made by Marston.<\/p>\n
They assisted Chapman\/Lotus achieve F1 World Championship, the last dramatic creative leap by Chapman and his team prior to his premature death.<\/p>\n
Cimarosti simply explained of 1978 F 1 season:<\/p>\n
\u201cLotus Wing Car <\/em>dominates. Mario Andretti and the Lotus 79 are undisputed World Champion. Most designers copy the Lotus \u201cwing car\u201d concept.<\/p>\n
Avoiding repetition subscribers are invited to study our dedicated articles on the Lotus 79 and its theory and practice. The radiators were material to its concept.<\/p>\n
Marston as we record have aviation connection. The Lotus 79 borrowed from the Mosquito radiators.<\/p>\n
Components were material to reliability and competitiveness.<\/p>\n
We believe that the Marston name has evolved into the present and retain aerospace, aviation and motor racing provision.From related website:<\/p>\n

Chapman\u2019s design and manufacturing methodology rather confirms the adage that \u201cthe whole can be greater than the sum of the parts\u201d.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an interesting an important study to consider deployment of components. It contributes to aesthetics, assembly economics and sales [attractive components\/ known accepted performance and servicing ability etc.]<\/p>\n
It is equally and mutually relevant and beneficial to the component manufacturer.<\/p>\n
Chapman and his colleagues often took the best \/ most appropriate mass produced item and almost reinvented it in its service to design objectives. In this manner many components acquired a new status and indeed their aesthetic was enhanced surrounded by the Chapman conceptual whole.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also extremely significant how many of these components were also used in Lotus competition cars. This created a powerful dynamic and interrelationship. Many components:-<\/p>\n
\n
Performed well in competition gaining beneficial publicity and sales<\/li>\n
Both the component and racing reputation carried through to road cars and assisted sales<\/li>\n
The component manufacturer gained disproportionate publicity and assisted products sell in other applications<\/li>\n
All together a beneficial spiral was commenced. Publicity of the era often opted to highlight the Lotus dimension in publicity material. In fact there was a powerful synergy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The relationship between Lotus and is sponsor specialist suppliers is significant and worthy of close study and has lessons for Engineering, Industrial Design and Manufacturing disciplines.<\/p>\n
Along the way it\u2019s possible too to study the wider British motor component industry and how it has helped foster the specialist car manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Sponsorship is a worldwide phenomenon of immense commercial impotence. Both to host and sponsor organization.<\/p>\n
With the Passage of time it\u2019s likely to become more sophisticated and focused and the internet \/multimedia technology will play greater role.<\/p>\n
Sponsors have existed in motorsport before Chapman but he vigorously exploited the concept with Gold Leaf c 1967\/68 and set a pattern for others to follow.<\/p>\n
Sponsors of Lotus were likely to benefit financially and in terms of exposure to an extent greater than their investment. The benefits were, and remain essentially similar to present day:-<\/p>\n
\n
Access to mass international audience consistent with mass production distribution marketing branding etc.<\/li>\n
Demographics of viewing audience and interest groups<\/li>\n
Additional subsidiary \/secondary advertising through media, news, magazines etc.<\/li>\n
Identification with market \/brand \/marque leader in both F1 and road cars<\/li>\n
Association with success and continuity evolving, developing technology, materials etc.<\/li>\n
In period the identification with the charm ,charisma and ability to articulate that Chapman possessed<\/li>\n
All the attendant glamour , drama ,danger ,and spectacle of F1<\/li>\n
Ability to provide conducive hospitality to conduct business<\/li>\n
Cost effectiveness of audience cost ratio<\/li>\n
Possible further complex corporate benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
