AUTO IS HELD GREAT EVENT By WILMS THORNTOX SKA (terries Writer Probably no single factor af fected mors profoundly the years from i0i to lilt than the auto mobile. The realisation of the old dream of aelt-propeled ve hicles and their development on a mass scale, changed life within our own limes aa few things ever did before. One of the pronounced changes It brought waa the -creation of literally millions ot jobs. The automobile threw many teamsters. hoatlera, carriage-builders out ot work. But that waa nothing aa compared to the creation of a new Industry which, according to most recent eetimatee, gives em ployment directly and Indirectly to mors than four and a halt million men. While fewer than a halt mil lion of theee are actually at work producing automobiles, and per haps 100,004 mors In producing parts, almost every line ot bust neee Is touched closely by the automotive. For Instance, ID per rent ot the rubber and gaso line refining Industries depend on the motor car, and would not have developed had It not pre ceded them. So with (7 per cent of the plats glass, 1 per cent ot the alloy steel, 10 per cent of the aluminum, and so on. There are more than a million professional truck 'drivers, and another half-mtlllon private chauffeurs In the country, e e e Calculate for yourself the num ber of workers In ths JiO.OvV tilling stations that dot every road. Oueea at the number ot em ployes ot 64.000 agencies. 54. 004 public garages, and 110.404 service and accessory shops. Then yon may have ons Ides la find ing work tor men to do. Her again. It waa an old dream. And her again, the realisation cam not from the brain ot on msn, but from msny, racing toward a common goal which lay close ahead. In plain sight ot all ot them. Sir lsaae Newton proposed a selt-propeled vehicle in 1410, which waa to be driven by s at (-em Jet shooting out behind the car and thua propellng It forward. It la odd that this first concrete suggestion for an automobile should be along the same lines as the most advanced plana of today, the rocket cars. e e e But Kewton. discoverer of th law of gravitation, never tried to build his ateatn rocket car. Perhaps th first successful aelf propeled vehicle waa that ot Nich olas Cugnot, a Frenchman, who In ITI0 built a three-wheeled steam carriage with a cumber some boiler, America did not get Into this gam until after the Revolution, when Oliver Crane esperlinented with steam road car In HIT. planning to uae them on the roads to Ilia rapidly opening western country. Steam roarhea occupied people's mind until almost Hi end of the lth century. In 1I(. a Oerman, Oottlleb Daimler, really opened the gate lo the motor age. He patented the first hlgh-epeed internal com bustion engine. About the same time, hi. ,nnnl,i,H U . a motor tricycle which functioned. aiiu in last Krehe dexlgned the Panhard car, which had a verti cal engine under a hood, a mod ern chasls, sliding differential gears, clutch and toot brake, and fool accelerator; In essence, a modern car. e e e From that time on, Germany, Franc. England and lb United Statee raced madly to complete their work. The early namee In American motoring are not for getten. and honors for the rapid Improvement of early primitive car are hotly disputed and al most equally shared auioAa; Dur yes. Olds. Kayoes. Wlnton, Ford. MaiweJt Apperson, Hiker, Clarke, Stanley, White, and Kreuklln. But th on man who parhaps had a mora far-rvaclilitg effect on lit motor aa In tlila country than any of tkciu la mther lues known, though he died only lu ltl. He was (leorg II. Helden, ho In ! was a young at torney In Itocheetur, N. V. Me had been applying for various auto motive patent since 1471, and In ll waa granted the first American patent for the Internal combustion enalne aa applied lo automobile prupulelun. With It were granted others, all lo Bcl den, safeguarding lo him this motor and all Its clutching and gearing arrangements. Thes were th basic, funda mental patents on which all suo resaful automobile bulldlug In this country depended for uieuy years. see Th result of this virtual mon opoly waa th foundation In 141 of the Association ot Licensed Au tomobile Manufacturers, who paid Selden a royalty on every machine aold. It upheld Selden patents for Ita own protection, and for elxht years exerclaed the greatest Influence over auto production, generally a benevolent one, as It licensed only "good and reliable" concerns, and probably prevented a lot of confusion In th lusty Infant Industry. Soon, however, another group ot builders arose, led by Henry Ford, which refuaed In recognise the Balden patenta, claiming Hint their machines war different In prtuclpl. After lung and In volved court fight from 1 i4 lo 1UII, the "outside group" of hulldera waa eiempted from the Melden restrictions, and It nu longer was nereaary In pay royal tie lo build automobiles. Reldeo, though he built In U7 a fronl-drlv aja-ryllnder car with eelf-etarler, which really performed, saw many ot these feature neglected by later build are until 10 years later, and early rare stemmed from Daimler and Ileus rather than from Sel den, who had been la some wsys farther advanced.
