Story of rapid transport from rail to road origins
A condensed history traces early transport from wheels to rail and auto, noting power and reduced friction as key factors. It covers rail beginnings in Britain with wooden rails, iron flanged rails in 1767, Stephenson’s locomotive, John Stevens’ 1824 steam tests, and early English steam cars. It highlights vulcanised rubber tires enabling internal combustion engines, mentions Thomas L. Gardner’s early car efforts, and lists a sequence of pioneers and milestones leading to Ford, Haynes, and early U.S. auto development, including the 1893 Chicago auto exhibit and 1894 Winton sale.
