The Twombly steamer used a 250 psi boiler, at which pressure, it was claimed, the car could achieve 50 mph. The 4-cylinder engine could be changed from single acting to compound. As a compound, engine output was 12 hp or 28 hp as a single-acting. An aluminum body was fitted, and touring or limousine styles were available at up to $3,000.[1]
