	Karl Benz Summary
		Benz may also have been the casualty of an automobile accident, having driven one of his first autos into a wall at his factory, while apparently forgetting to steer the vehicle during a demonstration.
		Benz soon patented the speed regulation system, the ignition using sparks with battery, the spark plug, the carburetor, the clutch, the gear shift, and the water radiator.
		Benz was forced to improvise an association with photographer Emil Bühler and his brother (a cheese merchant), in order to get additional bank support.

	Karl Benz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benz designed not only his engine, which was a single-cylinder, water-cooled, 958 cm³, 0.75 hp (560 W) unit, but the whole three wheeled vehicle, which was first driven through Mannheim in 1885 by his wife Bertha Benz.
		In 1903 Benz retired from Benz and Co., but he remained a member of the supervisory board until his death.
		The Benz and Daimler firms merged to form Daimler-Benz in 1926 -- the company's cars since then are called Mercedes-Benz (named after Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of Emil Jellinek, one of Daimler's partners).

		Karl Benz and his wife Betha in Munich "steadfastly and bravely set the sails of renewed hope." In times of despair she was his strength: Bertha Benz.

		Benz died in his house in Mannheim 26 years later, three years after his Benz & Cie was joined with Daimler Motorengesellschaft, and 29 years after the death of Gottlieb Daimler, a man he never met.
