At the beginning of the 2oth century, the combustion engine still had serious competition,
electricity and steam competed with petrol. This is also shown among other things by the history
of absolute car speed records. The 100 km/h mark was exceeded for the first time in 1899 by an
electric car and the 200 km/h mark in 1906 by a car driven by a steam engine. Cars with steam
propulsion were mainly made in the USA, then in Europe, where the best-known producer was
the Paris car maker Gardner-Serpollet, which also supplied several cars to customers in the
Czech Lands. One of these, with a body built by the Vienna firm of A. Weiser &Sohn, was bought
by the Count Černin family from the chateau in Vrchlabí. In 1931 JUDr. Karel Černin donated
this car to the National Technical Museum collection.
