In 1894, Stephen M. Balzer built one of the first automobiles in the United States. Measuring six feet long and three feet wide, the carriage was distinguished by its fixed-crank, rotating three-cylinder radial-cylinder engine. Balzer later contracted to build a rotary engine for Samuel Pierpont Langley’s Aerodrome flying machine. He spent his later career designing and manufacturing surgical equipment.
