history of auto
The making of automobiles started in the year 1770. In 1770 a man named NicholasJoseph Cungnot from France built a large steam-driven vehicle. The vehicle didn't lastlong because the vehicle could only be driven for 12 to 15 minutes before running out ofsteam and the vehicle was too heavy and had poor balance and made it difficult to steer. Nothing more had been done until in the 1784. In 1784 James Watt made a patenton a steam carriage, but nothing became of it. Then in 1785 John Fitch invented asteam-propelled boat in New Jersey. And then in 1786 he organized a company to buildthe steam engines and then even built a model of a road vehicle with an engine butcommitted suicide before anything came of it. In 1787 Oliver Evans put a patent on asteam engine in Maryland, for the use in land transportation's. In 1791 Nathan Read got a federal patent for a high pressure boiler and improvedcylinder. And began to make plans to apply this to a land carriage. In 1792 Oliverpetitioned the American government for a patent on a reciprocating engine plus a rotatingengine and boiler-enclosed furnace, but it was unsuccessful. In 1797 Richard Trevithickbegan to work on a high-pressured steam engine in England.
Ford Motor Company in 1903 sold the forst Model A runabout. A company in Paris is formed todevelop the engine. And in 1915 Catillac introduced the first successful v8 engine in theUnited States. Panhard et Levassor in 1892 began to sell their cars to the public. However, the business failed a few years later. In 1918 Charles Nash bought the Thomas B. The first automatic transmission was offered by Oldsmobile in 1940, at least thefirst true automatic transmission. Airbags started to beoffered in 1973 by Chevrolets. In 1917 Henry Leland, the former head of Catillac, started the LincolnMotor Company. Charles Duryea began to build a one-cylinder automobile in the United States in 1893. In1894 Karl Benz introduced a new four-wheeled vehicle called the Velo. Keller, of Reading, Pennsylvania, became thefirst franchised dealer in 1898.
