Looking for printable Doble Pics

<HTML>Gentlemen

I am a journalist writing an article about steam cars for Swiss Newspapers. Therefore I am looking for a printable, high resultion color picture of a Doble Car. Can somoebody of you send me something like that?

The article is also about the De Dietrich Schwander steam systems. Erwin Schwander built two steam cars along the Doble system in 35 and 38 to evaluate it as a means of power for railcars. It was compared to Bugatti straighteight 4.9 liters engines that where popular in railcars then in France.

Hence, the De Dietrich-Schwander cars where measured against the Bugatti cars and built up on Bugatti Chassis, the first most probably on a Type 43, the second on a Type 50.

If you are interested in modern steam from Switzerland, here are two links: one for a manufacturere with whom I sometimes work, and one of a project for a modern steam powered commuter railway we launched.

<HTML>Andreas,
Great information in your post. Many pictures of great Dobles can be found on the home page of this website along with many pictures of a Doble "E" engine newly assembled.
