Well, as a mat ter of fact two of them did just 55 years ago. They were Charles Glidden and Charles Y. Knight, of Boston and Chicago respec tively, and each played major roles in shaping the development of the automobile as we know it today.. Glidden was an ardent motor tourist early in the century.. He had been first a telegrapher and later a writer in Lowell and Bos ton, Mass., and acquired a for tune by the financial manipula tion of some New England tele phone companies. He also acquired in 1904 an English Napier which he and Mrs. Glidden drove from Boston to the St. Louis World Pair by way of Albany, Buffalo, Cleve land and Chicago. After the Fair, they fitted their car with flanged Wheels and piloted it over rail road rights-of-ways clean to the Pacific Coats. To encourage motor touring in the United States and thereby stimulate highway construction, I Glidden put up an expensive tro i phy, and the annual Glidden j Tours began in 1905. The next year the tour began in Buffalo j and wound 1570 miles to Bretton | Woods in Canada. Of the 48 cars I that started 19 finished. And be j cause 13 of the durable vehicles ; posted perfect scores the rules were tightened for 1907 when a I technical committee of the Amer ; ican Automobile Association took ! charge of scoring. , One of the ears in the 1906, : tour was an unusual vehicle built | by Charles Knight. For one thing it was cutely named the Silent ; Knight and for another it had an j engine in which the traditional i poppet valves were replaced by sleeve valves resembling in prin | ciple those of the steam engine. I This was the first of the fam j ous Silent Knight engines which j for the next two decades power i ed many American and foreign ; motor cars. Among them were the Stod dard - Dayton, Steams, Root and Vandervoort, Moline - Knight, Brewster, Atlas, Columbia and Willys - Knight in the United States and the Belgian Minerva, the French Panhard, Voisin and Peugeot; the English Daimler, the German Mercedes and the Italian De Lucca. Aircraft history was also shap ! ed in 1906 when the Ad a ms-Far | well automobile appeared that 1 year With three and five cylinder rotory engines. The success of these models, although brief, stimulated work on the rotary engines which subsequently de veloped into the favored power plants for airplanes in the 1920s and 1930s. Another significant innovation of 1906 was the friction - driven Carter car which still evokes en gineering interest because its transmission was gearless and infinitely variable.
