Harrison (automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harrison was an automobile built in Grand Rapids, Michigan originally by the Harrison Wagon Company from 1905-06, and then was renamed to the Harrison Motor Car Company in 1907. The Harrison grew to be a large vehicle, eventually having a wheelbase of 10 ft (3.0 m) The 1906 & 07 models featured a self-starting system which introduced acetylene into the proper cylinder for starting 'on the spark'. The cars came with a four-cylinder engine of 6.3L in capacity, with overhead valves. Pushrods for the exhaust valves had a ring-shaped section so they could straddle the exhaust piping.
