Will Motor Vehicles Compete in War and Transit
A 1896 article explores motor bicycles and wagons as war aids. It cites General Miles proposing twelve bicycle and motor wagon companies, noting horses and mules needed for large armies and potential motor support for artillery and ambulances. Duryea vehicles reach 20 mph, with plans for 25 mph and Boston trips in five hours, plus a British motor network proposal. The piece weighs feasibility, costs from 1000 to 1800 dollars, and the need for training before public use.
