The Sampson and Alden Sampson was a brass era automobile manufactured by the Alden Sampson Manufacturing Company of Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1904. The Sampson was built again in 1911 by United States Motors, Alden Sampson Division, in Detroit, Michigan.[1][2]

History

The 1904 Alden Sampson also called the Sampson in some contemporary articles, had a 4-cylinder 16 hp engine with a 4-speed sliding-gear transmission with two chains to drive the rear wheels. It boasted a transaxle. It was based on the 1903 Moyea automobile for which the Alden Sampson Manufacturing Company had built the chassis. The Alden Sampson was introduced as a touring car, luxury priced at $3,750, equivalent to $127,167 in 2023. The chassis only could be purchased for $3,250 for owners to add their own choice of coachwork.[1]

Alden Sampson purchased the bankrupt Crest Manufacturing to secure an A.L.A.M. license to manufacture motor cars.[3] In 1905 Alden Sampson decided to build trucks instead of cars.[1]

Sampson trucks became widely known. In 1909 Alden Sampson II died and his widow sold the company for a reported $200,000 (equivalent to $6,540,000 in 2023) to the United States Motor Company in 1911. A new factory was constructed in 1911 in Detroit, Michigan and U S Motors decided to add cars to the Sampson truck production.[1]

The 1911 Sampson, called the Sampson 35, had a 4-cylinder 35 hp engine. This model was a four-door, five-seat touring car that was advertised as having 17 coats of paint. It actually had only 3 doors; the fourth was just an outline, and blocked by the gear shift and brake. Aluminum was used for the transaxle and crankcase. The car was sold for $1,250, equivalent to $40,875 in 2023.[2][1]

The Sampson was manufactured in Detroit on Oakland Blvd, in a brand new city-block-long factory. There are only three survivors known to exist, and maybe a fourth in Australia. Five were registered in 1919 in the Australian state of Queensland.[4]

In 1912, the United States Motor Company collapsed into bankruptcy and Sampson production ended.[2][1]

Superspace

Base space for supersymmetric theories Superspace is the coordinate space of a theory exhibiting supersymmetry. In such a formulation, along with ordinary space dimensions x, y, z, ..., there are also anticommuting dimensions whose coordinates are labeled in Grassmann numbers rather than real numbers. The ordinary space dimensions correspond to bosonic degrees of freedom, the anticommuting dimensions to fermionic degrees of freedom. The word superspace was first used by John Wheeler in an unr...
