At the last meeting of the Automobile Club of America President Shattuck was authorized to confer with automobile clubs in the large cities about the erection of iron sign posts at important points. The president stated that R. E. Jarrige, one of the newly elected members, would fumish a sample of the sign posts used in France. The club requests automobilists. bicyclists, horse drivers or pedestrians to send it suggestions as to places where sign posts are needed. AUTOMOBILE FIRE ENGINE. An automobile fire engine has just been received by the Pittsburg Fire Department. Steam is the motive power and the vehicle is strong enough to climb the steepest grades that may be encountered. It was built by the Manchester (N. H.) Locomotive Works and is the fifth that has been ordered in the United States. The weight is 17.000 pounds and the cost was $9.200. The engine was shipped dismounted. LOCKING DEVICES. It is not a safe proceeding to let an automobile stand in the street so that the operation of a conspicuous hand lever will start the vehicle; and it may be said that we are approaching:1 period where it will not be safe to let a vehicle stand in the street which can be started by any person thoroughly familiar with that particular machine, but without the necessary key or keys. Most manufacturers are recognizing these conditions, and are providing means either against accidental starting or both against this and malicious designs. The writer has made a study of the devices employed to this end in some of the well-known automobiles upon the American market, and the results are given below: In electric vehicles a key is usually employed to open a.'itCl'l when leaving the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horseless Age, Vol. 11: January 7, 1903 It may not seem necessary, but to avoid misunderstanding we would observe that the opinions expressed by our contributors on various points, such as choice of motive power, most suitable weight and motor power, etc are not necessarily our own. Which they hardly could be since they vary so much. We have also thought it advisable not to exclude the few cases where the use of the automobile ina medical practice was found impracticable and given up after a trial. These accounts in themselves may not be instrumental in arousing the interest of doctors in automobiles, but it has been our aim to give a complete view of the situa tion as it exists, and a knowledge of the causes of the failures may lead to their avoidance in the future.

Download or read book The Motorcycle Industry in New York State Second Edition written by Geoffrey N. Stein and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Motorcycle Industry in New York State is the first book to focus on the over 120-year history of motorcycle construction in the Empire State. Beginning with experimental motorized bicycles in the 1890s, New York's motorcycle industry experienced its golden years for innovation and production in the 1900s and 1910s. From that promising start, the state's motorcycle industry declined, when the public adopted automobiles for everyday transportation. However, since the late twentieth century, the rise of custom, one-of-a-kind motorcycles has brought a new focus toward the industry. Also, a new effort to reach mass production comes in the form of e-motorcycles and e-bicycles that are being designed in New York. The first edition, published in 2001, was the product of nine years of research by New York State Museum (NYSM) curator Geoffrey N. Stein. This second edition has been revised and updated by NYSM Senior Historian and Curator Brad L. Utter. For anyone who loves motorcycles or for those enthusiasts/collectors that wish to know more about these unique makers and the bikes that they created, The Motorcycle Industry in New York State is the ideal companion.

Download or read book Wheel Man written by R.K. Keating and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert M. Keating's story is America's story. Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1862 to poor Irish immigrants, he was just 13 when his father died suddenly. A precocious boy with a knack for mechanics, Keating filed his first patent at 22, started his own bicycle company at 28, and at 32 was producing one of the most innovative bicycle lines in the world in a state-of-the-art factory. Along the way he flirted with baseball, briefly playing in the major leagues and patenting the game's rubberized home plate. In early 1901 Keating developed and marketed a ground-breaking motorcycle before either Indian or Harley-Davidson, and later successfully sued both companies for patent infringement. His company also manufactured automobiles beginning in 1898, producing both electric and gasoline powered vehicles. At the time of his death at 59, Keating held 49 patents--everything from bicycle and motorcycle designs to lunch-chairs to a modern flushing device for toilets. This book tells the story of Keating and his Keating Wheel Company, a Gilded Age story of unbridled inventiveness that encapsulates America's transformation into a society that would forever move on wheels.
Download or read book History of the Electric Automobile written by Ernest Henry Wakefield and published by SAE International. This book was released on 1993-08-01 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Electric Automobile covers the evolution from the first electric vehicles of the 1880s to the advances of today. Beginning with early electric vehicle development in England, France, and the United States, this book provides an in-depth look at the so-called "golden age of electric vehicles" (1895-1905), demonstrating the technological improvements and business risks of this era. This history also explores the "dead period" of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and the subsequent re-birth of interest in electric vehicles in the early 1960s. Events which have impacted the development of electric cars since then -- most notably the Electric Vehicle Act of 1976 -- are also examined. The book also features an appendix section containing such information as a name table of American electric cars, the Electric Vehicle Act of 1976, "nostalgia", and more. A glossary and index are also included. "For more than a century, nearly all seers who have predicted the role of electric vehicles in personal transportation have been wrong. This book records what actually happened, both within America and internationally." - Ernest H. Wakefield
Download or read book Quicksilver written by Richard M. Swiderski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though modern scientists recognize mercury as a harmful environmental pollutant and one of the world's most dangerous elemental toxins, mercury was once considered a wondrous substance capable of eradicating internal disease, revolutionizing the paint and cosmetics industries and even entertaining the masses as part of amateur magic tricks and witch doctor scams. This work traces the history of mercury in popular culture, beginning in the early eighteenth century when Dr. Thomas Dover, nicknamed "Dr. Quicksilver," began prescribing doses of raw mercury to clear out intestinal blockages and rid the body of syphilis and other diseases. The author then details the role of mercury in several medical, industrial, and cultural applications. In the fields of dentistry and vaccination, mercury continues to be used as a preservative and amalgamative agent. In the cosmetics industry, mercury was once used as a popular "skin lightener" in soaps and skin creams. In the early development of obstetrics and gynecology, mercury was once used to stimulate conception and fetal abortion. Many more uses of mercury, along with many more, are outlined in the work, while several appendices provide translations of rare works which reference mercury.
