Technique

Locomobiles were popular cars. Steam cars had good torque and could accelerate quicker and climb faster than a gasoline-powered car of the era. Steam cars have become identified with the Stanley brothers. The locomobile steam car is the concept of the two Stanley twin brothers, Francis Edgar and Freelan Oscar. They esigned a lighter boiler than the traditional boilers of existing steam cars with a vertical, cylindrical sheet copper shell wrapped with piano wire for strength. They could also withstand pressures up to 300 pounds per square inch. They made their first car in 1897 and began production in Watertown (mailing address at Newton), Massachussets. in 1899 their company was bought and became Locomobile Company of America. The new firm continued the fabrication of steam cars until 1904. The Stanley brothers left the new company in 1900 and started again the manufacture of steam cars in 1902 by changing the design of their former car and improving it, the transmission for example with direct drive and putting their engine horizontally. the car bodies for the 2 firms were made by Currier, Cameron & Company of Amesbury, Massachussets.
