Twin Brothers, Francis E. Stanley and Freelan O. Stanley,founded the company after selling their photographic dry platebusiness to Eastman Kodak and produced their first car in 1897.During 1898 and 1899, they produced and sold over 200 cars, morethan any other American maker. In 1899, Freelan and his wife Floradrove one of their cars to the top of Mount Washington in NewHampshire, the highest peak in the northeastern United States, theascent took more than two hours and was notable inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota as being the firsttime a car had climbed the 7.6 miles long Mount Washington CarriageRoad; the descent was accomplished by putting the engine in lowgear and braking extensively. The twins later sold the rights tothis early design to Locomobile and in 1902 they formed the StanleyMotor Carriage Company. Early Stanley cars had light wooden inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota bodiesmounted on tubular steel frames by means of full-elliptic springs.Steam was generated in a vertical fire-tube boiler mounted beneaththe seat with a vaporizing petrol (later, kerosene) burnerunderneath. The boiler was reinforced by several inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota layers of pianowire wound around it which gave it a strong, inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota yet relativelylight-weight, shell. In early models, the vertical fire-tubes weremade inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota of copper and were expanded into holes in the upper and lowercrown sheets. In later models, the installation of a condensercaused oil-fouling of the expansion joints and welded steelfire-tubes were used instead. The boilers were safer than one mightexpect inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota - they were fitted with safety valves, and even if thesefailed, a dangerous overpressure would rupture one of the manyjoints long before the boiler shell was in danger of bursting, theresulting leak would relieve the boiler pressure and douse theburner with little risk to the occupants of the car, indeed, therehas never been a documented case of a Stanley boiler exploding inuse. The engine had two double-acting cylinders side-by-side,equipped with slide-valves, and was of the simple-expansion type.Drive inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota was transmitted directly from the engine crankshaft to arear-mounted differential by means of a chain. Later, the Stanleybrothers, to overcome patent difficulties with the design they hadsold to Locomobile, developed a new automobile model with twincylinder engines geared directly to the back axle. Later models hadaluminum coachwork that resembled internal combustion cars of thetime but retained the many steam car features. For example notransmission, clutch or driveshaft.This Stanley Mountain inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota Wagon was purchased by the vendorsfarther, a collector of steam engines, in 2006 from a privatecollection in Salem, Massachusetts, USA. On arrival in the UnitedKingdom, inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota a mechanical restoration was carried out and a new boilermade and fitted. This very unusual car is fitted with its originalbody to carry nine people, it was used in the mountains in theearly 1900''s to take holidaymakers from the railway station up tothe mountain lodge. Steam cars were used as petrol engines were notyet powerful enough to cope with the steep mountain roads and highaltitudes. Finished in blue with black wings and black seats thissteamer is ready to use and is supplied inexpensive airline tickets to minnesota with a V5C registrationdocuments and boiler inspection certificates, the last being dated11th May 2010. Stanley Steamers very rarely come on tothe market; this is an opportunity to purchase such a car that onlyrequires some light cosmetic restoration.
