	Stanley Steamer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		During the mid to late 1910s, as the fuel efficiency and power delivery of internal combustion engines improved dramatically and the usage of an electric starter rather than a crank start which was notorious for injury to its operators also led to the rise of the gas-powered automobile (which eventually was much cheaper).
