History
History
George W. Marble and George P. Swift patented a friction transmission and originally planned to sell it as a stand-alone product. Marble-Swift Automobile Company was formed and built a factory in Chicago to manufacture complete cars and the new transmission. The Marble-Swift was a friction-drive runabout with a 16-hp twin-cylinder engine. In 1905 it was enlarged to a four-cylinder 22-hp touring car with the friction transmission, selling for $1,500. In 1905 Marble-Swift was succeeded by the Windsor Motor Car Company. • Illustration — alt= 1903 Marble-Swift Transmission shown on an automobile chassis • Illustration — alt= 1904 Marble-Swift Runabout Advertisement
