Oliver Parker Fritchle
Oliver Parker Fritchle (September 15, 1874 – August 1951) was an American chemist, storage battery innovator, and entrepreneur with electric vehicle and wind power generation businesses during the early twentieth century. His initial battery patent was awarded in 1903〔Fritichle 1903〕 and by 1904 he had established what was to become the ''Fritchle Automobile & Battery Company'' in Denver, Colorado.〔Stone 1918: 428〕 He was an early adaptor and developer of significant automotive technologies, such as regenerative braking〔Brady 1912: 98〕 and hybrid drivetrains,〔Beecroft 1916: 156〕 that did not reemerge on production vehicles of major car companies until late in the twentieth century.
Fritchle achieved national celebrity for his 1908 Lincoln-to-New York endurance run in one of the first electric automobile models produced by his firm.〔NYT 1908-11-30: 7〕 He covered the in a stock Victoria Phaeton achieving as many as between charges〔Artman 1909: 140〕 through extremes in weather, terrain, and road conditions; a remarkable feat with an electric vehicle of that day. The trip journal and photographs subsequently published to promote ''The 100 Mile Fritchle Electric'' provided unique insight to the state of road and electric power infrastructure within the United States during the early twentieth century.〔Fritchle 1953: 30〕
==Early years==
Fritchle was born in Mount Hope, Ohio to a family of Ohio natives. His father was a veteran of the Civil War and a merchant in Holmes County. Fritchle attended local public schools followed by five years at Ohio Wesleyan University and two at Ohio State University where he graduated in 1896 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.〔
He worked as a chemical engineer at the National Steel Company for two years after college. During this time he began experimenting with storage batteries with an interest in improving their suitability for vehicle applications. Around 1899 he relocated to Denver, Colorado and became chief chemist for the Henry E. Wood Company, an ore analysis concern. He worked there for two years prior to joining the Boston and Colorado Smelting Company of Argo as their chief chemist and assayer.〔
