Summary[edit]

Description
English: In 1928 while working on his Master's Degree, R. Tom Sawyer rebuilt a 1920's Jordan automobile and replaced the gear box with a generator and motor. He thus created an early Hybrid-Electric vehicle which combined the Jordan automobile's internal combustion engine (ICE) with a DC Generator that powered an Electric Motor to drive the axles. Sawyer drove the car for 60,000 miles in the United States and Australia as a demonstration of its capability.
