From the Paper:
"If you travel to Stuttgart, you'll find the three-pointed star everywhere, from the main train station to the engine works in Unterturkheim on the Neckar River. Long the largest employer in the Stuttgart region, Daimler-Benz was started by two brothers in 1886 to produce independent, gasoline-engined vehicles in small numbers. From the very beginning, the Daimler brothers created new technologies, such as planetary gearboxes, which advanced the overall auto industry, and were adopted by many of the major automobile manufacturers. As early as 1903, Daimler-Benz produced a lightweight, 35-hp car which could travel 55 miles per hour, which gave rise to an early participation in auto racing (Cyber, 2007)."Sample of Sources Used:
