'It is only a matter of time when the prejudice that, as usual, exists against any innovation, the ungrounded fear of explosions and other difficulties, will be overcome and the superiority of the gas engine over the wasteful steam engine and boiler will be established. The unsightly smoke stacks belching forth smoke and soot, will be relegated to the scrap heap, and the iron will be used to construct more useful machines. The atmosphere of our manufacturing cities will be as clear as that of the country. The cost of producing power will be so reduced that the beggar may ride, and in the next decade the steam engine will occupy the same relative position to the gas engine that the flint and steel now do to the lucifer match, the tallow dip to the electric light, the stage coach to the bicycle, motor cycle, or the modern electric street cars, and civilization will record another grand stride toward the millennium.' (3214002). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good.
