The Dieter Steam Engine Company produced very sophisticated steam engines for boats and automobiles. At some time, the company had a relationship with August Olfeldt & Sons.
In its April 19, 1905 issue, the Horseless Age featured the New Dieter Steam Engine, on page 466

This four-page brochure promoted Dieter's three-cylider in-line engine as well as its four-cylinder V engine design. The reference to having been inspired by gasoline engines is interesting.
