Dietrich-Schwander Steam Car
Back to PageOne
Dear Mr. Woodson I am writing an article about the steam car developments of De Dietrich - Schwander (see attachment) and would like to get a picture of a Doble steam car in high resolution so it can be published in a paper. Erwin Schwander (not a relative of mine seems to be the man who has pushed the Doble concept to the edge, but was stopped by the war. He had ample funds and scientific staff at hand and a weahlty employer who gave him full support. While the cars have been destroyed during the war, the full set of drawings is still available. We gotnow some copies and will analyze them to check if the design could be useful for further developments of the idea of fireless steam vehicles. Yours Andreas Schwander Andreas Schwander Journalist BR Drosselstrasse 32 CH-4103 Bottmingen Tel -41 61 401 03 79 Fax – 41 44 355 32 00 schwander@bluewin.ch
