1903-1907 - These 1-1/2 Horse Power engine photos appear to have been taken to be used in a catalog or advertising material. The striping appears to be in white paint to contrast with the engine for publication purposes. The first two are on a high wheel truck that may have been an original 11 Truck design using four large wheels compared to the later 11 Truck which used smaller two sized wheels. The battery box also appears to be larger than later designs. Time frame is sometime after April 7, 1903. We are looking for an example of this high wheel truck.
