Description Colorized photo from 1907Original Title: German fire enginePhotographer: Bain NewsLocation: Kopenicker Strabe 125, Berlin, Germany (maybe)When you think of electric cars, you think of high tech advancements where we don't need gas and it just all seems so new. But its not, its been around for a very long time. They had electric cars over a hundred years ago. But they weren't that popular, as they needed a lot of power to charge them up and such. Like today you still need a power grid that can support such things. That was the main reason they never really took off and why we use gas now. That said, they didn't have to use a horse, that is a savings right there.This is an electrically powered ladder truck. Made in Germany back in 1907, they were showing off their new fleet of trucks. It ran quietly, and had a motor that lifted that ladder, you can see the chain in the back. Presumably, that box in the front must have been where the batteries went. I'm not sure what went into those cylinders, maybe they were large fire extinguishers. The real weird thing about this truck was the seating arrangement. They seemed to have put them just about everywhere. Those might be belts that held them in.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
