CLIFF & BUNTING
This business in North Melbourne, Australia acquired an agency in around 1900 for O S Kelly Mfg Co traction engines made in Springfield, Ohio. Around 1908, Cliff & Bunting introduced their own machines described as “the first manufactured in the Commonwealth and combining the best points of English and American patterns.” Features were described as heavy boiler plates, 8hp centre crank, two-speed all-steel gearing, through-axle replaceable bearings, large water tank and a winding drum on the rear axle. They were listed up to about 1912 and there seems to be one survivor in Australia.
CLOUGHLEY
Robert H Cloughley of Cherryvale, Kansas made a steam taxi in 1896. Having plied it for hire, he formed Cloughley Automobile Manufacturing in 1901 but built few vehicles in the course of a year. In 1903 he moved to nearby Parsons and created the Cloughley Motor Vehicle Co offering 8hp two-cylinder steamers at $1,200 and rather more expensive 9 and 12hp two-cylinder internal combustion engined autos, but the endeavour failed after only a few months.
