Selden patent lawsuit collection, 1891-1955 (bulk 1900-1925)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62313718

The Selden Patent Lawsuit collection consists of two series. The Subject Files series, 1891-1955 (1.6 cubic ft.), includes correspondence, clippings, British, French, and American patent copies, and financial reports. Researchers should note that material in this collection was gathered from various sources and includes a wide variety of general information about the early automobile industry. Of special interest are the annual reports, audits, national automobile show planning and cost reports, royalty summaries, and other financial records of automobile manufacturers associations such as the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufactuerers and a wholly-owned holding company, the Association Patents Company, the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the Automobile Board of Trade, Automobile Manufactuerer's Association, and the Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Association. The Lantern Slides series, circa 1904-1909 (1 oversize box), consists of 56 glass lantern slides. As co-plaintiff in the infringement lawsuit filed against Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company, Selden's attorneys used the lantern slides to illustrate early autombile development and the part George B. Selden played in that process. The slides illustrate engine and motor vehicle development in Europe and the United States at the turn of the century.
