Engine Of The Day: Continental Motors [Engine Of The Day]
Engines manufactured by Continental 1920s and 1930s powered about four million cars, which seems moderately impressive. Read Daniel Strohl’s list of Continental-powered marques , however, and you’ll be floored! Of course, that list should lead you right to Strohl’s original Hemmings Motor News piece . It’s true that we’re looking at an engine company here, not a specific engine model, but we’re still impressed by the vast number of vehicles that relied on Continental power. Thanks to Judge Jonny for the tip! [ Hemmings Auto Blogs , Hemmings Motor News ]

The new state-of-art Brooklyn firetelegraph system was just completed and the movie shows how a pulled fire alarm box was received and re-transmitted to the fire stations.

Boston Fire Department 1930s...This video was complied from files in the Stillman Fire Collection, Perlinger Archives and put together to make this presentation represent how a huge building fire might have been fought in Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1930s. Note for general interest and comments that at 2:16 a relatively new American lafrance pumper has a hand-crank siren and a Roto Ray warning light. However at 3:03 a similar ALF is shown with an electo-mechanical siren. Obviously, I added the sound effects to this video, but the original film was silent. If you wish to see the film as it was made you will need to turn your computer speakers off.
