The concept of a motor-drivevehicle for individual or collective use, is literally centuries old. Ancient history (semimythical) tells of Babylonian king with mysteriously propelled war chariots, but cuihentie records trace back the motor ear to Cugnot (French, 18041 1769), Evans (American, 1772 to Treve-tliieMurdoch (English. 1784! and (English, 1802).

Bo the work went on until in the early 90s a number of companies began the manufacture of motor ears on a commercial scale and the first American exhibition showing more than one ear was the Columbia Exposition in Chicago in 1893. com-pan- y n k Comes Quickly to Front. From tills period on the development of the automobiio was exceedingly rapid.
