Waltham Steam
The Waltham Steam was an American steam car.
==George Tinker and John Piper==
The engineers ''George M. Tinker'' and ''John W. Piper'' were employees of the Waltham Manufacturing Company, at that time makers of the ''Orient'' bicycles in Waltham, Massachusetts. In 1898, they were allowed by the company's owner, ''Charles Herman Metz'', to build a light steam buggy at a corner of the plant. This vehicle was finished at the end of the year and named the ''Waltham Steam''. It had a very light (50 lbs), 3 bhp (2.24 kW) two cylinder, double acting steam engine. The copper-built condenser weighted in at 110 lbs, and the complete vehicle at only 600 lbs. It had wire wheels, and steering was provided by a vertically mounted lever. Tinker and Piper exhibited their steam buggy at the ''Boston Automobile Show'' in 1898.
Two more steam cars followed under the label ''Tinker & Piper''. Meantime, Metz had sold out his company to '' Charles A. Coffin'' and ''H.P. Clough'' but stayed in the position of a general manager. Coffin was an executive of the General Electric Company. Seeking for markets for the ''GE'' products, he ordered a light electric car to be made by Tinker and Piper. They built it also at the ''Waltham Manufacturing'' plant. It had a wheelbase of 60 in. and, of course, an electric motor by ''General Electric''. Although it was presented as the ''Orient Electric'' at the ''New York Cycle & Automobile Show'' in 1899, neither Tinker and Piper nor Metz were impressed, there were no more electric vehicles to follow.〔
