It weighed 900 pounds and could travel 15 miles an hour on its three wheels. No doubt the lad was thinking: "Some day I‘ll build a car, too â€" a much bigger and better one even than that." Fortyâ€"five years later he did that very thing. Highland Parkâ€" ers, renew acquaintance with two former ‘ fellowâ€"citizens â€" A. G. *d’hemn _ and his son, E. S. acPherson. â€" The latest thing in armored motors, designed by the latter, weighs 14 tons and travels 55 miles an hour â€" and, incidenâ€" tally, runs on four wheels. « Those fortyâ€"five intervening years are fraught with worldâ€"shakâ€" ing events, and dotted with imporâ€" tant names, . Among those names, four stand out, as related to the auto industry. On Thanksgiving day, 1895, Charles E. Duryea won the first American auto race in Chicago. At that time he developed a new threeâ€"wheeled "motor carriage," which made, he thought, for easiâ€" er Then there was R. P. Davison, major: in the lllinois National Guard, who was also superintenâ€" dent of-nilihryuulmyren Chicago. He formed his cadets into a military bicycle corps, and when he heard of the new threeâ€" wheeler, he conceived the idea of mounting a gun on it, as a speedier means of transportation. This reâ€" sulted in what was called by newsâ€" pers an "armored car" and someâ€" times a "motor gun." sha shipâ€" in Cadillacs, Major Davison became a Cadillac enthusiast, and soon â€"had A. G. mounting machine guns on the Cadillac job. ~His son was becoming more and more helpâ€" ful. : A whole military train was constructed, consisting of a reconâ€" naisance car, two wireless cars, a field kitchen, a field hospital with xâ€"ray, a balloon destroyer, a supâ€" ply car â€" and a real armored car. It was exhibited at the Panamaâ€" Pacific exposition at San Francisco in 1915. When mode} No. 3 was built along these lines, A. G. MacPherâ€" nn;vuthem. But, like early "auto wagons," No. 3 was a flop.. A. G. tried again, this time with his son to help. This late model ran by steam, and A. G. himself drove it to Washington. With World War I there came a lapse in the development of miliâ€" tary motorized vehicles. _ Major Davidson and A. G. MacPherson dropped from the picture and E. S. MacPherson became more promâ€" inent. Moving to Detroit in 1915, E.S. became associated with the engiâ€" neering department of the Chalâ€" mers Motor Car Co., and later was captain in the newlyâ€"created air corps in World_'arl. Later on he ‘became associated with the Liberty Motor Co., then the Hupp Motor Co., and in 1934 he became Chevrolet‘s engineer of armored car Model No. 1.
