Men's Charity Meeting this Saturday at the Malibu
HURON — What do you get when you combine pieces
of pipe, a bicycle wheel, used electric wheelchair parts,
washing machine gears and part of a mahogany door
frame?
In the workshop of Remie Grimminck near Whalen
Corners you get a half -scale model of a car. Not just any
car, but the first car built by Karl Benz in Mannheim,
Germany. This vehicle, called the "Patent Motor Car,"
was first tested July 3, 1886, and was clocked at a speed
of 10 miles per hour.
Why did Remie choose this car for his model? He says
he is fascinated by the "first- attempts people" who used
common things to develop something new, and Karl
Benz's car was unusual because it only had three
wheels.
Remie's model was built using pipe as the frame mate-
rial as it is easy to bend and stays strong. The wheel-
chair wheels were used as the drive wheels, and the
small 16 -inch bicycle wheel became the front wheel of
the model and is turned by a lever. The wheelchair also
provided the 24 -volt motor, differential and control
switches. The D.C. motor is connected to the bevel gears
from a washing machine that provide power through a
chain drive to the differential and the wheels.
Speed control is accomplished through a foot pedal
made from a door hinge. It even has reverse. The foot-
boards or floor is made of strips of mahogany cut from
the doorframe.
Power to the motor is provided by two 12 -volt batteries
connected in series so the model moves about without a
sound. The original Benz was powered by a single -cylin-
der water-cooled gasoline engine with electric ignition
and drive wheel
differential, and it
likely was noisy
with a lot of vibra-
tion from the run-
ning engine situ-
ated under the
seat.

model was com-
