My wife found a really great Scientific America magazine from 1909 on E-bay and bought it for me. It tells about the" NEW Machines " They compare 4 types of road power, Steam, gas, electric and horse drawn wagons. It goes on telling the advantages of all 4 and the disadvantages.
Steam takes a long time to ready its self for work, and can BLOW UP !!! causing sever burns to the driver and by-standers
Gas powered vehicles make a lot of noise and keep breaking down, scaring farm animals and people with early morning delivers
Horses need to be fed, groomed, taken to the vet and cleaned up after and can only pull a wagon a few years before its turned into glue
Electrics, are simple, reliable, noiseless, need very little service .
In the magazines words," Electric Vehicles will pave the way for a new type of transportation and delivery services.... Just about all deliverers are made in early morning, news papers, milk, produce, meat. lumber. We can only make one conclusion that the electric delivery vehicle is with out a doubt the best choice for city use"
How about that 1909!!! at the end of the article they also said Gas at its price now will surly double with more demand 1909 !!!!!! History really does repeat itself
I also have magazine adds showing delivery trucks from as early as 1904 showing 2 and 5 and 10 ton trucks used as delivery vehicles carrying lumber, beer, all kinds of freight ....and they did that back then in 1904 !!!!! why the hell cant they do that now!!! eventually they will , they will have to some day...
