[Healeys] Hyphens on badges

 The critical question is when or if the company stopped hyphenating the name in its own sales literature, parts, and workshop documentation. My set of workshop manuals isn't available right now, but perhaps someone with a complete collection and/or a collection of sales brochures, could start at the end of production to see if the name was hyphenated then, and if  not, go back to the point when it was hyphenated.

Just as a WAG, I suspect that the name was ALWAYS hyphenated, which would point to a careless graphic designer who was copying an older logo when designing the new badge, and thought the hyphen was just an extension of the H crossbar, rather than being a distinct feature of its own, or thought that the logo would look better if the hyphen was joined to the crossbar on the H.

One possible explanation for why the factory design included the clamping of the 
bearing might be that they could not rely entirely on the bearing manufacturer & 
the hub manufacturer to hold the tolerances required for a proper press fit of 
the bearing. If the bearing O.D. was a little under spec & the diameter of the 
recess in the hub was a little over spec. the bearing would be free to move 
about. Thus the clamping & the specification on the amount of clamping.

Ball/needle/roller bearings can only spin when the there is debris 
inside the bearing from e.g. a broken cage, balls/needles/rollers, diff 
that block the bearing causing the outer cage to turn. This happens 
mainly because people drive there cars until the bearing starts to break 
up, well into or beyond the rumbling stage.
<<<
  
 
  
I don?t think it?s that absolute. In my case it was a year-old bearing that spun 
with no apparent damage to the bearing other than having the outside buffed to a 
high sheen. The operation remains perfectly smooth.
  
 
  
Personally, I?m persuaded that the act of clamping the inside and outside, per 
the manual, is preferable to shrinking or driving or gluing the bearing in, 
leaving the spacer loose and hoping for the best.

I think we have established that there was probably no consistent change
point from hyphenated to non-hyphenated which seems to support the idea
that after the decision to change was made the stock of hyphenated badges
was nevertheless used until exhausted.

However my original question was not "when" but rather "why" the switch was
made.  There must have been a reason for making an affirmative decision to
do something and I am genuinely surprised that the reason has never been
made known,

Any thoughts here?

Micheal, although it doesn't answer why, it does appear that there was a 
decision made at Austin/BMC or somewhere to do away with the hyphen, I quick 
perusal of ebay Austin Healey advertisement shows the hyphen in most of the 
fifties ads, it is gone in the sixties ads.  So it doesn't appear to be just a 
matter of the supplier forgetting to put it in on later pieces.

While the front badge was not always hyphenated, the rear one on the trunk 
(boot)always was if I am not mistaken.

That got me digging around in my books and pictures. Both my BMC parts book and

But a pretty early, in AH terms, ad from Healeys at Warwick is unhyphenated.

I think we have established that there was probably no consistent change point 
from hyphenated to non-hyphenated which seems to support the idea that after the 
decision to change was made the stock of hyphenated badges was nevertheless used 
until exhausted.

 

However my original question was not "when" but rather "why" the switch was 
made.  There must have been a reason for making an affirmative decision to do 
something and I am genuinely surprised that the reason has never been made 
known,

 

Any thoughts here?

In general the rotating part of a bearing (on the axle shaft in this 
case) is a press fit while the stationary part (in the rear axle 
housing) is a push fit. Tolerances on bearings are quite tight, but the 
axle housing could be a different matter. Even when the outer race of 
the bearing is a bit on the loose side it should not spin in the axle 
housing. If it does it is worn and/or with debris inside. If a bearing 
has spun, it is often sufficient to replace the bearing and using some 
Locktide between outer race and housing. This will however make 
disassembly in the future more difficult.

Michael,
I think it is an interesting question. 

You ask for thoughts, so here is one purely speculative possibility. The factory 
decided to change badge vendors for some reason. Perhaps lower cost, better 
quality, friend of the CEO, etc. The new vendor screwed up (did not notice the 
hyphen on the sample badge they were copying). The factory also did not notice 
the change or by the time the new supply of badges arrived they did not have 
time to wait for the new vendor to make another batch or no one at the factory 
really cared one way or the other about the hyphen, so just ignored the change.  


I have an original MkII badge with hyphen & an original MkIII badge from a 1964 
Phase 1 BJ8 without hyphen. Neither of these badges have any markings on the 
underside that would give a clue as to who the manufacturer was. Also, they both 
seem to have almost identical construction which would lead me to believe that 
they came from the same manufacturer. So, that would not seem to support my 
theory.

A local photograph took this shot of my BJ7 boot badge  (HBJ7L-20969) while
it was parked in the parking lot at the Misslewood Concours in Beverly, MA
this summer (with hyphen)
