Is this the same Phelps that produced the steam "tractor" that acted like a semi-tractor rig for buggies & wagons? It's described & illo'd in Floyd Clymer, Treasury of Early American Automobiles, 1877-1925 (New York: Bonanza Books, 1950), p.15. Trekphiler (talk) 10:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

editCf. The Horseless Age, June 10, 1903, Vol. 11 #23, p.678-679. The Phelps apparently had bevel gear differential instead of chain drive and the body was hinged at the rear for easier access to the chassis. Someone better qualified to edit this article may find this primary source of interest. --EasilyAmused (talk) 06:30, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
