Gas Bag Motor Car (1910-1919)

Gas Bag Motor Car. Location of events unknown - London? Car powered by gas bag on top. Truck parked in street; words on side ’Maidstone Cab Company’; large bag mounted on roof of car; bulging out of a boat-like box. CU detail of different car; this one open without roof; has tube of gas that says ’Flugel’ on side - looks like this thing is on running board; in BG a few children look. CU another detail. The 2nd car driving down street toward camera - looks like normal vehicle; but has the little tube on side. Then; shot of same car (?) w/ a platform held up by posts w/ gas bag on top. Man in front cranking car; then he climbs into driver’s seat; starts off. A bit wacky. Inspired by airships? Transportation; fuel; energy. Automobiles; inventions.
