Well I have now looked at it, stilled it, and looked again, but I am really not sure.

I think I would error on the side of a radiator leak! :D :D :D ::) ::) ::)

But,????????????????????????

What do others think? :-? :-? :-? :-?


It comes into view at 5m 40s ;) ;)

Apparently, after doing a little research I have discovered that in the U.S. in 1902, 485 of 909 new car registrations were steamers. ;) ;) ;)

I have been looking at various pictures of American steam cars, and those built by a company called Stanley appear to have been very popular in the early 1900s.

Have a look at this video of a preserved example in action, which is doing what most steam vehicles of all types do; produce clouds of steam and smoke!! :D :D :D :D :D

I am even more convinced now that the 'steaming' car in the 1905 film is indeed leaking steam from a dodgy radiator of an internal combustion engine ;) ;)

ok lizzie, look at the rear of the car as it passes by on the right, steam from the rear n/s.
also, no radiator cap/fitment is visible.
dependant on the weather conditions you probably wouldnt see much vapour coming out anyway if it was a warm day.

aha, got you thinking eh, there was another make over there apart from stanley, white rings a bell.
as i said though...no radiator cap or fitment & no visible signs of an exhaust pipe, steam coming from unusual places & im pretty sure they had a dump valve down at the front there.
