Let alone breathing in all the built up fumes. I was interested in the vertical CG and how the wheels ran on the track...looks like the outboard wheels ride on/in a different kind of rail (maybe a mono rail) and the inboard are flat rubber type on a smaller dome type track.

Espen-Lucas saw in a machine shop. 1919.

Found this beautiful beast in the catalog at archives.gov. The search function takes a bit of learning, but there are countless excellent images that aren't getting indexed in Google Images search (a perfect example of The Deep Web). I've seen the vintage ads for these, but I didn't know they made one that big. These are the largest resolution images available.
