Pictured here is a Bicycle Road Map of Kane County, Illinois, published in Elgin, IL in 1894. In this era - and dating back to the 1870s - advocacy for 'good roads' was led by cyclists, and this map illustrates an extensive road network in the county, an hour west of Chicago.
I've always been a BIG fan of the @NUL_Transport library. So I'm excited that on 5/7, WAHS is hosting a presentation with Head Rachel Cole on the library's amazing #airline menu collection. Details in the flyer! #avgeek#aviation
Developed and produced in Montréal, the Marathon C-300 electric car was powered by 12 six-volt batteries and could be charged using a household outlet. With a 50-mile range and 35 mph cruising speed, it was viewed as an efficient way for drivers to make short trips around town.
