Summer Homework,Gord!
Thank you for the effort put into your reply! The web references were checked out. None of the images were close to what I have viewed. The closest topology was of the Pierce-Arrow Wolseley. Mind you, I was impressed with the vaiety of plasticity seen in the early a.c.
How did Autocar of Pennsylvania sell their a.c in Canada? Is there any literature/research about the early shills and touts that the yankee prodeucers used to clinch sales? Was this an early case of across border price dumping? Is there any documentation of the Russell travelling south to visit the yanks?
Loose end: In the Locker-Lampson data it refers to a bulk sale. Russia-Reference is also made to a substantial number of a.c. that are not named or listed. Is there a "junior" historian gestault problem with the Russins? Even today, military sites refuse to list Ukraine are an armour producer. Yet today Ukraine pumps out armour/motors and exports tons of it. The analogy is that some web sites may be too loose with their Russin definition. The big territory and changes in government around WW1 bode problems in comprehension/documentation. Was armour delivered to the Czar? The white army, the red army, the ukrainian government, and so forth. Who is them - Russins? - speculating on Russell exports.
I wish to make a visit to the armour museum near Barrie. They now have a nice promotional sign on the big 400 highway. Do you have any names that should be asked for, looked up or called? Yep, a first visit.
Look have a great summer! I have image homework to look up for you! Big thanks for facilitating research on the Russell!
