The American Motor League ("AML") was the first automobile organization in the United States, formed 1895.〔May, p. 7 ''The American Motor League had the distinction of being the first automobile organization in American history.''〕〔May, p. 289 ''...but as the first such group in the country the league signaled the emergence of a new era.''〕 The AML started in Chicago from ideas of Charles Brady King.〔May, p. 7 author of article of "American Motor League" within the enclopedia is James Wren of the ''Motor Manufacturers Association''〕 He wished to form an organization that governed the movement of the fast development of the manufacture of "horseless carriages" that seemed to be going in various haphazard directions in the United States.〔King, p. 46〕 The AML was organized by King and he was given the first membership each year, No. 100.〔King, pp. 41-43〕 == Goal == The main goal of the new AML was to encourage experimenters and inventors to manufacture horseless carriages. They had two obstacles to overcome to accomplish this. # The mechanical problems involved. # The news media. The press ran journals that gave false misleading technical information that were serious obstacles to developers and inventors. The public had a tendency to believe what was printed, even though many times were wrong, and this made the developers and inventors look bad in the public's eye. This then discouraged further development that was necessary in the introduction of new ideas and techniques to advance the technology of the automobile. This also created worthless drawings for the Patent Office which then had difficulty in determining which was a workable patentable invention.〔 King wanted to hold national meetings where technical papers could be submitted. He wanted discussions and exchange of ideas to help develop the technology of the automobile.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Motor League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
