Lastebil ved Moelven Brug, ca. 1915-20, elektrisk drevet. Den hadde store akkummulatorbatterier som ble ladet om natten og de holdt til kjøring hele dagen. Det blir fortalt at den ble kjørt helt inn til Nyskolla. Bilen ble kalt "Galter" og var i bruk særlig for intern bruk på området til Moelven Bruk og til jernbanestasjonen. Her har Klaudi Bakås som var fast sjåfør, lastet opp oljekokte hjul og håndkjerre for levering på "fraktgodsen" på stasjonen.

The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.

This collection is made of historic photographs of trucks that belong to the period before the end of World War I. Like every similar Picryl collection, this image set is made with aid of neural network image recognition. A manually picked dataset to train the machine was required first. Once trained, the AI made it possible to go through millions of images to find possible matches. Without this, extensive multi-sourced topical collections would be impossible to create. The image tagging process requires quality control to get rid of false-positive matches. Without human oversight, in this set, there would be false positive things on wheels such as carried artillery, horse carriages, and so on. GetArchive's goal is to deliver relevant results for every meaningful search request. Right now we collected 25 Million images to go through - please donate or subscribe to help us to accelerate this process!
