Cornelian automobile

It had chain drive and was the smallest such configuration to be raced at the Indianapolis Speedway.

[1] The 1914 Cornelian was manufactured by Howard E. Blood (of the Allegan, Michigan-based Blood Brothers Machine Company), who had joined forces with Swiss racecar driver Louis Chevrolet.

Chevrolet did not finish the race, having to drop out on the 77th lap when an engine valve failed (he placed 20th in the results).

The cycle car was powered by a 4 Cylinder Sterling engine [4] and boasted a light weight of 500 kg (1,102 lb) displacing 103 cubic inches (1.7 L).

The automobile body was monocoque; the rear wheels had independent suspension, and the front wheels were mounted on a Transverse leaf spring front suspension with a solid axle.
