indianapolis, Oct. aO.--LR) Time S
relentless hand has left only the bro
Ken. rust eaten frame of the first
gasoline driven vehicle which now lies
IN the basement Of an indianapolis
business house.
The old machine, built by Charles
II. Black, an Indianapolis blacksmith
and carriage maker, lost the honor
that went to another Hoosier. Elwood
Haynes. because his application for
patents on his engine were denied.
Black sought patent papers in 1891,
two weeks after the Otto Gas Engine
company Of Mannheim, Germany, filed
Tor American protection Of II gas
engine.
Ran Twenty Years.
Black was offered patents on his
differential gear and floating rear
axle. but disguised. he refused them.
He lived to see both become univer-
sal equipment.
EIGck began operating forge and
-'aRon plant in Indianapolis in 1865.
Late in the sos he became interested
IN gasoline engine propulsion of vc-
hiclcs. lie eventually perfected an
engine which he attached to type
Of carriage. known as a runabOut. He
drove 1t more than twenty years. Sew
eral years ago it was stored in the
business house basement by an owner
who never reclaimed it. Black first
used Kerosene torch in his ignition
system. but later procured a cumber-
some storage battery. His first spark
coil was imported from Germany. 1t
weighed sixteen pounds.
Two years after Rlack's fa;lnrc Ell
wood Haynes of kokomo, an oil op-
orator, who had perfected an auto.
mobile in the wagon works of Elmer
Apperson secured patents on his ma
chine. 1t is today in the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington labeled.

Indiana became the cradle Of the
automobile industry through the &C.
tivities of Haynes and Apperson, and
