Walter Christie was involved in the engineering of many other vehicles, steamships, submarines, aircraft and fire engines coincidentally, and this past weekend I and Justacargal were examining the one at the Nethercutt museum just North of Los Angeles in the San Fernando valley: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/03/1913-christie-fire-engine.html

At one time, it had a second engine on the rear wheels, in the same transverse powering it's own axle Labels: 1905, brass era, Vanderbilt Cup
