the driven wheels was accomplished
most ineficiently. The engine n.y.
wheel was connected by q belt to
a cross shaft, from which . chain
and sprocket combination trans
ferred 1t to the left rear wheel.
BY the time the power got where
it was intended, little Of 1t was
left.
Alexander Winton made an i'm
portant contribution to the solu-
ton OF the lack of power Difficult
ties when, in 1896, he switched
from the manufacture of bicycles
to automobiles. Winton perceived
quickly that power buggies that had
no power were destined to get no
place, literally as well as figura-
lively. Accordingly, he developed a
single-cyclinder engine which de-
veloped 10 horsepower. He proved
his theory, too, by demonstrating
that the car was one of the best
performers on the market, capable
Of a speed of IL miles an hour and
OF sustained cross-country driving
performance of $50 miles. The fig
ures may look rather sad today,
but they were splendidly impress
Sive in 1896.
Automobile manufacturers these
days may be headed always toward
greater number of cylinders in
engines, but their predecessors were
hesitant. They jumped from ones
to tours and back to twos and ones
again in a desperate quest for an
answer to the problem of inadequate
power.
Those who remember the first
automobiles tell vivid stories OF tire
and wheel troubles.
AS the early manufacturers bor-

rowed body design from the buggy
field, they turned to the bicycle for
tires and wheels. They could not
have done worse. Tire carcasses,
not much sturdier than the inner
tube Of modern type, had a ten
dency to blow out every time they
struck a stone In the highway-and
the highways were VIGOROUSLY
stony!
The wheels themselves frequently
crumbled under the weight of the
car just when the owner was con-
WINGED he had not been such q
fool, after all, in making the in
vestment.
incidentally, the investment was
quite a large one. In contrast with
these days when automobiles sell
at a rate of from IS to SIS per
horsepower, the pioneer motorist
paid anywhere from 500 to $3.50.
The prices of the cheapest cars
ranged from $1,000 to $1,000 and
when one ventured into the multi
cylinder group-the fours-they
were much higher.
America had not become the in
dustrial mastodon of slightly later
days, and even the rich were not
getting rich very quickly, so the
motor-car market was exceedingly
limited. As a matter of fact, the
only aristocracy, financially speak,
ing. obviously interested in auto
mobiles was that of France. Be-
cause they had a market, French
car builders were able to progress
more rapidly than those of this
country.
Helping to stimulate interest here
was the Stanley Steamer, the first
car to run 80 miles an hour and the

one to intensity the battle that
ragged for years over whether steam,
gasoline. or electricity was the ideal
source of automotive energy. The
car caught the public fancy at once,
not only for its performance but
because 1t was powered by medium
which was much more generally
understood and thoroughly proved.
Another thing the Stanley car
accomplished for today's motorist
Is that it induced designers to think
of brakes. So long as the speed of
automobiles was from six to ten
miles an hour and so long as the
chief problem was to get them to
run at all, stopping presented no
demand upon the designers genius.

convince any skeptic that the period
from 1900 to 1905 was even more
fruitful.

at an average speed OF approx

a 4-horsepower engine.

and varied Valve mechanisms could
not be trusted to operate in fash

combustion chamber nor, once this
much was accomplished, to get the
burned and exhausted fuel out OF
the cylinder. If the valve system
was working, there was no certainty
that the ignition system would pro-
duce spark to fire the fuel.
It is impossible to conceive Of the
original wick-type carburetor-the
design borrowed from the kerosene
lamp-as being the progenitor of
the device which adjusts itself auto
matically on today's powerful auto
mobiles. The latter, however, is q
lineal descendant of that first crude
carburetor.
From this painful start as an
adaptation of the horse drawn
vehicle, the automobile moved
steadily toward the general idea and
the nomenclature of that of TODAY.

B. Kings first offering and the
car which introduced Detroit into
the automotive picture, had many

day. It boosted of a flve-bearinp
