I just learned about this site from SACA. Looks like it's devoted to vintage steam cars. So what I have to say may be irrelevant. Back in the 70's I invented and patented a vehicle steam engine that is especially efficient at part-load, where road vehicles normally operate. I created a web site www.newsteamengine.com that has all the details. Your members may find it interesting.

REMOTE HEADLAMPS

7/20/2016

 
Ralf Denman found these photos.  He believes  the remote controlled head lamps are on a Stanley steam car model 71. They seem to operate from the drop down steering arm, the link does not seem to be connected but the rod is clear to see.

Serpollet on Steam Generators and Steam Motors for Automobiles-Part 1

7/4/2016

 
Condensed from a report to the Third International Automobile Congress, held at Milan 24th-29th, May, 1906.

By Leon Serpollet (Article Courtesy of Light Steam Power, November-December 1970)
​
When sending a copy of this report, Mr Thos. Hindle states : “It is evident that the Steam Car would not have languished….had Leon Serpollet lived. His fundamental proportionate feed system which, in it’s perfected form, embraced the positive and concurrent delivery of liquid fuel, combustion air and feed-water, has practical possibilities today (1970). Serpollet was the first to propose electric ignition for a Steam Car spray burner. It is also noteworthy that in 1905, he abandoned his famous single-acting  engine for a double-acting version which, however, retained the essential poppet-valves actuated by a sliding camshaft.”

Serpollet on Steam Generators and Steam Motors for Automobiles-Part 2

7/3/2016

 
Condensed from a report to the Third International Automobile Congress, held at Milan, 24th-29th May 1906. Supplied by Thos. Hindle.
By Leon Serpollet (Courtesy of Light Steam Power, March-April, 1971).

​Fuels

Solid Fuels, either coal or coke, are employed with nearly all tank boilers, so that, on account of the weight of the generators themselves, the bulk of the supplies and the nature of the fuel, they are limited to heavy commercial vehicles, which generally are operated on designated routes and have fixed points of supply. There remain the liquid fuels, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene, and heavy oil.

​Serpollet on Steam Generators and Steam Motors for Automobiles-Part 3

Steam Motors
Few Changes have been made in automobile steam motors since 1903. All the motors at present employed are very compact, run at high speed and employ high pressure. A compound motor is evidently more economical, but is also heavier, and in small sizes the complication of its parts and their maintenance wipes out any advantages which might be derived from it. Nevertheless, in cases where there is sufficient space available, and where the weight is not limited, such as commercial vehicles operated and cared for by good mechanics, we believe that the compound motor presents considerable interest.
