Additional Details

"It has been our endeavor this year to make this booklet of greatest value to operators of electric vehicles within a one hundred mile radius of New York City. In addition to listing charging stations and showing them on a map, we have secured, in many cases, the following needed detail: Maximum amperage available; maximum voltage available; Hours during which service is available; Prices charged for boosting".

The first map of Manhattan and the Bronx with approximately 50 charging stations marked; the second regional map with coverage from New Jersey to Connecticut shows approximately 60 plug-ins. Need a boost on West 56th street? MJ Buckley's Garage has you covered; stranded in Sea Bright? Hit up Zobel's Garage on Ocean Avenue for a jolt.

A rare pamphlet, OCLC locates a single 1917 issue but no copies of this earlier (first?) edition.
