Where motor cars common in 1901

History

KIM [24]3 years ago

Only five years after Charles Duryea and his brother Frank built the world's first commercially manufactured automobiles, Charles set up production in Reading, PA. This early Duryea has many advanced features, including a three-cylinder water-cooled engine and a centrally mounted tiller control. It performs three functions - steering, by moving the tiller left and right; speed, by rotating the handle grip at the top, and gear selection, by raising or lowering the same handle. Other 'modern' features of its day were the pneumatic tires (Duryea was the first to use these on cars) and the inclined king pin, which he patented in 1900. The principle of the inclined king pin (the axle on which the front wheel is steered) is still used in modern car steering systems. Duryea's development of putting it on an angle allowed the wheels to track straight ahead, rather than being deflected left or right by every irregularity in the road.

Duryea's production methods introduced a new idea. His vehicles were built in Reading from parts that were manufactured by others located elsewhere, a method that we now refer to as 'out-souring.' Ford took the idea, added the moving assembly line, and in so doing, changed the world.

This 1901 Duryea motor car was once owned by Bill Pollock. Mr. Pollock donated the car to the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.

Why is it necessary for the government to establish provisions to naturalization and immigration ?
Ray Of Light [21]

It is necessary for the government to establish provisions for naturalization and immigration because the provisions allow for a more centralized immigration process thanks to the naturalization of aliens. The mandate for centralization made the process uniform throughout the country and the courts processing applicants became more organized.

What was one reason that immigrants came to America in the late 1800s?
kramer
I'm sorry to say, but all these answers are incorrect. The real reason why was to escape poverty in other foreign countries. The immigrants moved to America for better opportunities and better jobs. When they arrived, they moved to places called tenements that were used for people to live in. But the downside was that EVERYONE was moving to America in the east where New York was and such, Causing Overpopulation. The Government had to resolve the issue By making the Homestead Act of 1862 signed by Abraham Lincoln, Which gave everyone the ability to move west for the first time. They thought it was their, "God Given Right" to explore the west due to the government giving them 162 acres FREE. But there was one problem that raised, But that's another question for next time.

According to Gandhi, how can Indians defeat the British?
alekssr [168]
History remembers Mohandas Gandhi’s Salt March as one of the great episodes of resistance in the past century and as a campaign which struck a decisive blow against British imperialism. In the early morning of March 12, 1930, Gandhi and a trained cadre of 78 followers from his ashram began a march of more than 200 miles to the sea. Three and a half weeks later, on April 5, surrounded by a crowd of thousands, Gandhi waded into the edge of the ocean, approached an area on the mud flats where evaporating water left a thick layer of sediment, and scooped up a handful of salt.
