Posted by Unknown |

WHO INVENTED THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE?

     There is no perfect answer to this question. The history of an automobile dates way back to the 15th century when LEONARDO DA VINCI formulated different models for transportation vehicles. There are different kinds of automobiles - steam, gas, electric_ but the true credit goes to KARL BENZ. 
     Born to an Engine driver in Karlsouche, Badan, Germany in the year 1844, Karl Benz was an intelligent student, finishing his Mechanical engineering in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

                                                                                                                                THE MAJOR FEATURES OF THE AUTOMOBILE:-

     In 1888, BERTHA BENZ drove Motor Wagon to PFORZHEN, a distance of about 66 miles, without the knowledge of Karl Benz. This was the first long distance covered by the Motor Wagon. She refilled the gasoline from pharmacies and also invented the brake lining by asking a shoe maker to nail rubber to the brake blocks. She also suggested to Benz that he must add a gear to make climbing the hill slopes better. After making the necessary amendments, Karl introduced MODEL _ 3 at the 1889 WORLD FAIR in PARIS.
