IIIIIIHI .. -x umm.. he Automotive nd ustr THE first memorable experiment in motor transport Was made in France in 17711, when Nicholas Cugnot constructed a three- ivheel steam chariot. It stopped every hundred feet to make steam. Several successful steam chariots were made in England from 18110 to 1836. Evans, in 1787, made the hrst American steam car. The nucleus of the modern automobile appeared in 1835 - 1886, when Daimler patented his high-speed internal combus- tion engine. Next came the Panharcl car of 1894, which had every essential feature of the modern car. The most important factor in the early development of the American automotive industry was the Selden patent. Granted in 1895, its terms were broadly inclusive. It gave the monopoly to its licensees, styled the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers. One of the most important works of the asso- ciation was the pooling of technical and engineering informa- tion. A testing laboratory was set up. A mechanical branch of the association was formed, along the lines of the societies of engineers. An independent group led by Henry Ford defeated the monopoly in IQII. Some time afterwards the activities of all the national automobile manufacturers were combined in the Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Recent developments in the automotive art include free Wheeling, knee LlCKlO11, streamlining and increased success in reducing vibration, this latter particularly on passenger busses. The principles of streamlining which have been found useful in the other arts have been adapted, sometimes inelfectually, to the modern automobile. An example of yacht design prin- ciples eljlectually applied to the motor car is seen in the Dvmaxion.
