In 1906, a Stanley steam car set a new world land-speed record of 127 mph (204 km/h). This record lasted until 2009, when a British steam car raced along at 148 mph (238 km/h).
Full steam ahead! In a 1905 speed trial at Daytona Beach, Florida, Louis Ross in a Stanley Steamer hissed past gas-burning rivals, a Napier (left) and a Mercedes (hidden by steam). Ross raced a mile in 41 seconds.
This magazine cover from 1900 shows French firefighters showing off their new electric fire engine.
