[TRUCKS -- ELECTRIC VEHICLES]. [CHURCH, Melvin & KNUDSON, Karsten].Biblio.com

Seven scarce cyanotype photographs of Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. 1-ton to 5-ton hybrid electric-gasoline trucks. Four of them are a series of images showing the heavy haul trucks loaded with housings stainless steel tube and gear pulleys for an electric power house with others hauling timber towing a trailer and a U.S. Armory truck.

1906réf. 57483Grand Rapids MI: Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. Holson Motor Patent Co. Ltd. ca. 1906. Seven cyanotype photographs sized 7.25 x 9.25 in. to 7.75 x 9.5 in. w/ negative numbers w/in image at lower corner and four numbered as a series slight toning at fore-edges edgewear still bright contrast and clarity. Fascinating and remarkably scarce salesman sample cyanotype photographs by an early innovator in electric-powered vehicles. Heavy duty hauling trucks were a significant problem for reliability and maneuverability in the first decade of the 20th-Century because they were so slow terrible fuel economy and restricted to wider streets. Church & Knudson developed a unique electromechanical propulsion system called the “Gyroscope Motor” which allowed all four wheels to steer and eliminated a differential gear originally at 2 horsepower each. Initially manufactured as the Holson Motor Patent Co. they changed it to Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. in 1906 and began manufacturing and selling their heavy electric powered trucks capable of a 40 mile radius between charges. The one to two-ton trucks were front-wheel driven and steered and could haul significant loads while the 5-ton models had four-wheel steering four-wheel drive and four-wheel brakes. These cyanotype images show a series of 2-ton Holson trucks hauling electric power house parts with two of them distinctly having African-American teamsters working on the rigs. Other images show an electric-gasoline generator hybrid hauling timber similar to those developed for hauling the telescope parts up to the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California; a Couple-Gear stave truck hauling a large industrial part for The Bennke & Co. coal company which changed their name in 1907 to the Polonia Coal Co.; and finally a U.S. Armory truck with company logo painted on the side of the vehicle. The Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. continued in business until 1922.
