Ransom developed an interest in self- propelled land vehicles, and he experimented with steam-powered vehicles in the late 1880s. In 1896 he built his first gasoline car and one year later he formed the Olds Motor Vehicle Company to manufacture them. At the same time, he took over his father's company and renamed it the Olds Gasoline Engine Works. Although Olds' engine company prospered, his motor vehicle operation did not, chiefly because of inadequate capitalization.

Online versions of the finding aids for most collections listed can be accessed by clicking on the collection name. REO at the MSU Archives REO Motors Inc. was incorporated in 1904 by R. E. Olds and other investors as the R. E. Olds Company. It passed through several name changes and permutations until May 30, 1975, when Diamond REO Trucks, Inc., filed for bankruptcy. In its lifetime, the company built passenger cars and trucks, but it was best known for the latter. The company became dependent on government contracts in the 1940s and 1950s, but by 1954 continuing losses led to a takeover by a group of majority stockholders. From 1954 to 1957 the company went through a series of business crises ultimately leading to its purchase by White Motors and the formation of the Diamond REO Truck Division of White Motors in 1957.

    REO Motor Company Records http://archives.msu.edu/findaid/036.html SUMMARY INFORMATION Repository Michigan State University Archives and Historical Collections Creator Reo Motor Car Company. Title REO Motor Car Company records ID 00036 Date [inclusive] 1904-1976 Extent 170.0 Cubic feet 170 cu ft , 283 volumes HISTORICAL NOTE Both the beginning and end of the REO company occurred amid controversy. The firm was incorporated on August 16, 1904 by R.E. Olds and other investors as the R.E. Olds Company. It quickly passed through several name changes and permutations. On May 30, 1975 the firm, then known as Diamond REO Trucks, Inc., filed for bankruptcy. Ransom Eli Olds, founder of the Olds Motor Works (later the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors), was forced out of that firm in 1902. Two years later, Olds and other investors formed the R.E. Olds Co. to manufacture automobiles. Following a legal threat from the Olds Motor Works, the R.E. Olds Company's name was changed to the REO Car Company (which later became the REO Motor Car Company). On October 8, 1910 the investors also formed the REO Motor Truck Company to manufacture trucks, eventually known as "speedwagons." This firm was combined with the REO Motor Car Company on September 29, 1916. During 1919 the firm sold more trucks than cars for the first time, and continued to do so until 1936. In that year car production was halted due to losses from declining sales which were caused by the Great Depression. The firm was reorganized in 1938 as REO Motors, Inc.

A. C. RECORD Hie Gold Simadmrd of Valme^ Lansing's Largest Industry The Reo Motor Car Company extends visiting alumni of M. A. C. a cordial invitation to visit its factory and watch Reo products in course of manufacture. In its 25 miles of aisles are 5968 individual machines, giv­ ing employment to 4,584 persons, exclusive of the office force. Of the 49 acres of land owned by the company, 34 is actually built upon; the floor space of the shops totals 43^ acres. A gigantic factory in a gigantic industry, Reo is a Lansing institution all the way through. Created and financed by Lan­ sing people, it is a remarkable example of self-containment and continuity of management. Through nearly two decades of successful operation its directorate has remained intact. Reo's commanding position in the industry is due to the quality of its products, to its policy of manufacturing the vehicles complete in its own shops, and to the diversity of the line. Five models of passenger cars, the Speed Wagon in twelve body styles, the Reo Taxicab, the Speed Wagon Parcel Delivery, and Reo Busses combine to represent the most com­ plete line of motor vehicles produced by any one factory in the world. If a visit to the Reo factory is not possible, request should be made for a copy of the 66-page book "Reasons for Reo." This is a resume of Reo's activities, and is sent without cost to anybody making the request.

    TC COLD WAR HISTORY EDITION TWO It is my honor to recognize members of the 53rd and 181st Transportation Battalions as the “Senior Legends” of our time during the Cold War era. Among the names, we have wheeled vehicle operators, a platoon leader and heavy wheeled vehicle mechanics that supported the mission in the United States Army Europe. REMEMBER WHEN: Semaphores were a common signal device used on European automobiles, you wore a COMZ patch, you attended Head Start, your Mess Sergeant yelled all the time in the field, mess kits require three dips in the wash cycle, dip, wash and rinse, your Supply Sergeant stated you needed three copies per request “Triplicate” became a norm, Armed Forces Network still had one television channel and Radio Free America and Armored Forces Network radio were your two options, split rims were the danger in the motor park, driving on coble stone roads became an issue driving in the fall and winter, heating C-Rations on your manifold, the battalion safety patrol made your day on the Autobahn, the Willys M38 was replaced with the M151, The M52 replaced with the Autocar U7144T, your dispatch read, Belgium, Berlin, Holland, and France - COMZ, double clutch, construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961. In 1963, the Rhein and Neckar freeze over. Apollo XI astronauts land on the Moon. You still had a M14 with Tripod. PAUL MC WILLIAMS, (84) enlisted into the US Army as a volunteer.
