Colonel Albert Pope and
His American Dream Machines by Stephen B. Goddard
The Essential Reference
A little over a century ago in Hartford, Connecticut, Colonel Albert
A. Pope was hailed as a leading automaker in the United States. That
his name is not a household word today is the very essence of this
story.
The world's manufacturer of bicycles (under the Columbia label) in
the late 1800s, Pope's production methods pointed the way for the
building of automobiles through lightweight metals, rubber tires,
precision machining, interchangeability of parts, and vertical integration
of his business. Steam, electricity, and gasoline power vied for supremacy
in the fledgling automobile industry, with their competition for investors
and customers becoming a tale of vision and greed.
