Another interesting de- 

 velopment of the Stanley 

 steam engine is the power 

 plant of the Stanley rac- 

 ing car that Fred Mar- 

 riott drove to a speed of 

 127.659 miles an hour at 

 Daytona Beach, Fla., on 

 January 26, 1906, to estab- 

 lish a new world's land 

 speed record. Figure 52 

 shows this engine (USNM 

 311899), presented to the 

 National Museum in 1940 

 by Fred Marriott. It has 

 a 4 1 /2-inch bore and a 6V2- 

 inch stroke.
