Experiments in power propelled ve- hicles date back to 1770, when Joseph Cugnet, a French engineer, built the first automobile. He constructed a steam automobile that hauled tvvo and one-balf tons three miles per hour, and this vehicle is still preserved in form of a model in rrancep In 1802 the first practical steam automobile was built by Richard Trevitluck, of England, using a crank shaft for the first time and driving by gears from the engine to the road wheels. In 1821 Julius Griffiths of England, gave us the first comfortable steam vehicle, the first vehicle to have a coach de- sign of body, with seats carried on springs as we know them to -day. In 1881 Summers & Ogle, of England' built a three wheel tabular boiler and two cylinder engine, which attained a speed. of thirty-two miles per hour. The first motor v,ehiele to regularly carry passengers fdr hire was built by Walter Hancock, Of England, in 1884.
