VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image captures a historic moment from the first Clubman TT race, depicting Manxman Edgar Quine as he prepares to start the 1947 Junior Clubman TT. He is astride his motorcycle, wearing racing gear and a helmet with the number 19 prominently displayed on his bike. A crowd of spectators and officials are lined up behind him, some holding clipboards and appearing to be race organizers or timekeepers. The caption details an unfortunate event where Quine's motorcycle was fitted with a high-compression piston by Triumph, which ultimately led to mechanical failure due to incompatible fuel when it blew itself apart during the second lap of the race. This black-and-white photograph captures both the excitement of early post-war motorcycle racing and a lesson in engineering choices under specific constraints like fuel quality.
