Northern

US, 1902 – 1909

(1) Northern Mfg Co, Detroit, Mich., 1902 – 1905

(2) Northern Motor Car Co, Detroit, Mich., 1906 – 1909

The Northern car company was founded by two ex-Oldsmobile engineers, J.D. Maxwell and C.B. King. Their first and most popular Northern car was the Silent Northern, a single-cylinder two-seater runabout not unlike the Oldsmobile, but with a straight dash. These Northern cars were made under licence in Sweden as the Norden. Bonnetted, flat-twins were sold from 1904 and in 1906 King designed a 4-cylinder 18hp Northern car with air-operated brakes and clutch. In 1908 he left the Northern car company – later to make the King car – and in 1909 Northern cars merged with E.M.F.

Rauch & Lang

US, 1905 – 1928

(1) Rauch & Lang Carriage Co, Cleveland, Ohio, 1905 – 1916

(2) Baker, Rauch & Lang Co, Cleveland, Ohio, 1916 – 1922

(3) Rauch & Lang Electric Car Manufacturing Co, Chicopee Falls, Mass., 1922 – 1928

Rauch & Lang were an old-established carriage building firm (founded 1853) when they began to make electric Rauch & Lang cars in 1905. These Rauch & Lang cars followed the usual pattern for such electric vehicles, being mainly closed town cars, although a few open phaeton Rauch & Lang cars were also made. The biggest Rauch & Lang cars were heavier vehicles and included a six-seater limousine with separate outside seat for the chauffeur. Some Rauch & Lang cars had 4-doors, a very unusual feature in electric cars. In 1916 the Rauch & Lang cars became part of the Baker, Rauch & Lane group and production declined. From 1919 onwards the Rauch & Lang cars were sometimes listed as Raulangs, and from 1922 this became the official name of the Rauch & Lang cars.

By this time production of Rauch & Lang cars had been transferred to the Stevens-Duryea factory at Chicopee Falls where the number of private cars made was very small. The factory, which was still turning out a few Stevens-Duryeas, also made petrol and electric taxi-cabs under the name Rauch & Lang cars, and bodies for Stanley Steamers.
