This 1914 Detroit Electric duplex brougham was originally owned by famous General Electric scientist Charles Proteus Steinmetz. He was chauffeured in it around Schenectady, NY, until his 1923 death. The car was found derelict in a field in the 1970s, and restored by Union College, which uses the Detroit Electric in its graduation ceremonies. The rest of the year, it is displayed in the Edison Tech Center. The car is run by an electric motor powered by 14 6-Volt lead-acid batteries. It is steered via a tiller: push forward for left turns, pull back for right turns. There are two sets of controls, so it can be driven from the front or rear seats. The top speed is about 30 mph, and it can be driven about 25 miles. Electric cars were considered the most refined form of transportation in the early 1900s, and the only one suitable for women to drive, since they required no engine cranking or boiler stoking.
