| | HHF Factpaper: Siegfried Marcus pt. 2 The Automobile and the Internal Combustion Engine |
 | | Summary: Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the automobile, a Jew born in Malchin, Germany, invented the telegraph relay as a teenager, produced over 150 inventions in his Viennese workshop, ranging from telegraphy to electric and gas lighting, from the internal combustion engine to the automobile, and from military hardware from the electric detonator to field telegraph. |
 | | Marcus bequeathed his factory to engineer Hans Baresch, brother of Eleonore Baresch and "uncle of both my daughters," together with all its machinery and unfinished goods, on condition that Hans agreed to furnish yearly two hundred and fifty gulden to be divided equally between Eleonore Baresch and her two daughters. |
 | | Marcus' innovations made the internal-combustion engine a viable means for powering a family vehicle and for the trucks, the buses, the lawn mowers and the myriad of other useful machines so enormously responsible for the advance of civilization. |
