It was a signet ring with hie family coat­ of-arme. My first visit to the college library resulted in my finding the Duryea coat-of-arms, and that ended my interest in family history. During an automobile show in New York in 1909, Mrs. Randolph Bryan Grinnan (Martha Estelle Duryea) called at the Duryea exhibit and asked to speak to some one of the Duryeas. I happened to be there, and she instilled in me a determi­ nation to learn more about our ancestors, and we had a etimuiating correspond­ ence for a few years, but I loot interest when there seemed to be too many "dead ends" in the search.

The turn-out for this meeting was the best we have had to date. A quick head­ count (the accuracy of which is not guaranteed) indicated that 37 persons were on hand including a visitor, Gordon Buehrig, designer of the CORD automobile. It is evident that the time of the meeting - Friday evening, instead of Saturday after­ noon as in previous years - was more convenient for most of our members. Following are the minutes of the meeting, as submitted by retiring secretary Perry Zavitz: John Peckham called the 4th Annual Meeting of the Society of Automotive His­ torians or order at 8:15 P.M.

This thesis examines the role of electric vehicles and automobility in the past, present and the future of personal transportation. Additionally, it brings together the history of the American automobile industry and the complex contemporary narrative of Tesla Inc, the young and ambitious auto manufacturer that exclusively builds electric vehicles. This analysis ends with a discussion on the author’s understanding of how a company like Tesla was able to come to fruition, how a similar path could be taken by a new or existing automaker, and what these narratives mean for the current age and future of personal transportation in today’s environmentally conscious climate.

  • History of Manufacturing Automobiles
    HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE AND ITS MANUFACTURING HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE AND ITS MANUFACTURING Exactly who invented the motor car is to a great extent lost in the mists of history. Many engineers in different countries were working on the same general lines in the middle of the nineteenth century deriving inspiration from the early steam buses and coaches. They all felt the need for a more compact and convenient prime mover to get into a horseless age. EUROPE: Belgium and Germany Etienne Lenoir in Belgium demonstrated a self-propelled vehicle driven by a type of atmospheric engine in 1860. Though the engine was hopelessly inefficient, it did have the merit of quick starting, and unlike steam vehicles, did not need frequent and large dose of water. This engine interested Nicholas Otto, a young German, as he observed its lack of punch and reasoned that more power could be obtained by compressing the charge before feeding it into the cylinder. Otto did this with great success and the idea was an essential step towards the true four-stroke engine. Around 1872, Otto was helped and encouraged to develop the four-stroke system by Gottfried Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, who joined Otto’s company (by then called Gasmotoren-Fabrik Deutz). Otto perfected the true four-stroke cycle and it was this power unit that opened the way to the motor age. Another pioneer in the area, Karl Benz had worked with Daimler at one time in their careers for the same locomotive works in Karlsruhe. Karl Benz is credited with being the first to make a gasoline-engined car for people to buy: a car conceived as entity and not just a carriage with an engine replacing the horse.

Berf^ebile THE 1 893 DURYEA AUTOMOBILE In the Museum of History and Technology During the last decade of the nineteenth century a number of American engineers and mechanics were working diligently to develop a practical self-propelled vehicle employing an internal- combustion engine as the motive force. Among these men were Charles and Frank Duryea, who began ivork on this type of vehicle about 1892. This carriage ivas operated on the streets of Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1893, where its trials ivere noted in the newspapers. Notv preserved in the Museum of History and Technology, it is a priced exhibit in the collection of early automobiles It is the purpose of this paper to present some of the facts discovered during the restoration of the vehicle, to show the problems that faced its builders, and to describe their solutions. An attempt also has been made to correlate all this information with reports of the now almost legendary day-to-day experiences of the Duryeas, as published by the brothers in various booklets, and as related by Frank Duryea during two interviews, recorded on tape in 1956 and 1957, while he teas visiting the Smithsonian.

Manufacturing methods and processes are discussed only as a background for the proper understanding of market and financial developments. A companion volume now in preparation will deal more fully with the history and problems of mechanical invention and factory organization. Because of the recency of most automotive develop- ments, there is little in print upon which one may draw. I have therefore obtained most of my data from the field—from companies, from individuals, and from trade associations.
