The Kidder steam carriage used two separate cylinders of 3 hp each, mounted horizontally on each side of the boiler. Drive to the rear axle was direct. A two-passenger was the only body style (apart from a delivery car), and the car used tiller steering. The price was $1,000, or rather more than the cheapest of the steam buggies.[1]
