Carry an interest in early American motoring wherever the day leads. Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company made the Compound, a distinctive automobile with a three-cylinder engine that used its larger middle cylinder to expand exhaust from the outer cylinders. The firm’s history includes its 1902 acquisition of the Keating Wheel and Automobile Company, a 1903 merger, and a later factory sale in 1909. This Backpack connects daily routines with the story of a short-lived marque remembered for unusual engineering and the changes that shaped Brass Age automobile makers.
Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company began as a Brass Age automobile manufacturer based in New York City. In 1902, it purchased the Keating Wheel and Automobile Company and established manufacturing operations in Middletown, Connecticut. The following year, it merged with the Graham Fox Motor Car Company, absorbing the firm and expanding its Middletown operations. In 1904, Colonel Frank A. Fox sued Eisenhuth, claiming he had invented essential features of the motors the company was making. The firm later went bankrupt in 1907, and its factory was sold in 1909 to the Noiseless Typewriter Company. Eisenhuth’s distinctive automobile was the Compound, powered by a three-cylinder compound internal combustion engine. Its two outer working cylinders discharged exhaust into a larger middle cylinder for further expansion, an approach later known as the five-stroke engine. The 1904 Compound touring car could seat seven passengers with its tonneau body and was priced at $6,000 to $8,000. Its front-mounted, vertical straight-three engine produced 35 horsepower, paired with a three-speed sliding-gear transmission. The car weighed 3,100 pounds. In 1906, Eisenhuth offered the Compound Doctor Stanhope, also called the Compound Dostor, with 12 to 15 horsepower and a listed cost of $1,400.
