Description	English: View of a "Roadmaster's Inspection Car" manufactured by Fairmont Gas Engine and Railway Motor Car Co., Fairmont Minnesota. "The swivel office chairs face in any direction and the car is completely reversible, with ample power to overcome grades or wind pressure. This car is specially suited to track inspection, running evenly at all speeds from 3 miles per hour up, simply by moving the throttle. The engine is mounted over a loose wheel axle, making the other end easy to lift, and enabling the car to be turned in taking it from the track. The frame of the car is of standard car construction, with selected ash beams and sills, and the deck of the car is of elm. The wheels are 17 in. in diameter, wood filled, and with 1/4-in. tires; the axles are 1-1/4 in. and have boxes equipped with Hyatt roller bearings. Wood shoes engage the four wheels. The weight of the car complete is 600 lb."
