The Nelson Automobile & E. A. Nelson Motor Car Co.
The Nelson Touring Car was designed along European lines by E. A. Nelson. Nelson formerly served with Olsmobile, Packard and Hupmobile. The Nelson automobile was produced in small numbers and not well known to the general public. However, it was quite well established in the engineering field. It was a light weight car with high speed and low fuel consumption. Stock models got 25 miles a gallon in part due to the four cylinder overhead valve engine.
1918 Nelson Touring Car The four cylinder overhead valve engine had a disc clutch and a three speed transmission incorported with the axle. The engine construction was unique. The four cylinder and upper crankcase are integral and head is detachable. The head carried the valves, intake and exhaust passages. Also mounted on the head was the magneto, auxiliary oil tank and fan pully. The camshaft was located on top pf the cylinders, driven by bevel gears from the crankshaft. The cams act directly on the valves without the use of push rods. No flywheel was used, this being replaced by the motor generator of the U.S.L. starting and lighting system.
