The Adams was an English auto produced in Bedford between 1905 and 1914.
American-conceived Edward R. Hewitt had helped Sir Hiram Maxim to
manufacture an expansive steam plane in 1894. He later composed a “gas
carriage” along the lines of an Oldsmobile; this machine was fabricated
by the Adams Manufacturing Company. The Adams had a probably secure
epicyclic transmission with a 10 hp (7.5 kw) single-barrel motor.
Without a doubt, “Pedals to push, that is all” was utilized as the
marque’s motto. Hewitt finally came back to the United States to make
comparable autos under his own particular name, after which more
expected shaft-driven autos with vertical motors were processed
(starting in 1906). Models offered incorporated two- and four-chamber
ones and one of the first British V-8s; this last had a 35/40 hp (26/30
kw) motor dependent upon the French Antoinette model (an aeroengine for
which Adams were operators). Be that as it may the V-8 was tormented by
crankshaft breakages. In 1910, the organization handled a progressed 16
hp (12 kw) model with front-wheel brakes; it accompanied packed air
beginning, tire-blowing up, and jacking supplies. The “pedals-to-push”
rigging was still offered, as was an ordinary four-velocity transmission
and a bizarre planetary gearchange (three-pace), which was worked by a
pedal that moved in an entryway. The organization collapsed for great in
1914.
