Technical

Model 735 was made from 1918 to 1922. The company's origins go back to 1899 when the two Stanley twin brothers, Francis E. and Freelan Oscar began the production of steam cars in Watertown, Massachussets. The same year, their firm was bought and became the Locomobile Company of America. They left the new company in 1900 and designed a new steam car for which they also began production. The company progressed and over years, offered new designs of steam cars. But the company ultimately closed in 1923 due to a recession and the domination of gasoline cars in the market despite the promotional campaign promoting Model 735's ease of operation in comparison with a gasoline car. Power controlled by a single lever, no clutch, pedal, gear lever, accelerator pedal, ignition lever. Cheap to maintain. 20 HP steamer with a 14 x 23 inch boiler. The engine should be 4 x 5
