Sonrisas y anhelos que llevan tu alma dentro de mi cabeza,
Surcando estas dulces aguas a sotavento y frescura en aroma,
Placeres ocultos de aquellos que navegan buscando libertad,
Pasiones que se derraman en los ojos del mar.
Vidas paralelas, vidas encontradas y soñadas con sabor oculto
En los besos de mis sueños, partidas de los puertos con una mano y un adiós.
Llegada a tu alma y abrazos sin esperar…
Pasajeros son mis ojos en el horizonte, pasajeras son tus nubes a las que deseo acariciar.
Pasajeras las palabras que rodean con mis manos el mar. Pasajeros mis sueños
Queriendo ir a su profundidad.
Pasajeros y sólo pasajeros que se encuentran en el camino de viajar. Surcan en el mar las velas, se oye a lo lejos un barco y su navegar, tristezas, amores, sueños, abrazos… y formas de amar.
Pasajeros de la libertad.
Smiles and cravings that lead your soul inside my head,
Riding these freshwater downwind and freshness in aroma,
Hidden delights of those who sail in search of freedom,
Passions that spill into the eyes of the sea.
Parallel Lives, lives encountered and dream with hidden flavor
In the kisses of my dreams, games ports with one hand and a goodbye.
Check your soul and hugs without waiting ...
Passengers are my eyes on the horizon are your passing clouds I want to cherish.
Passing the words around with my hands the sea. Passengers my dreams
Wanting to go to its depth.
Passengers and only passengers who are traveling on the road. Ply at sea sails, is heard in the distance a boat and sail, sorrows, loves, dreams, hugs ... and loving ways.
Passengers of freedom.

Manufacturer: J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company, Racine, Wisconsin - USA
Type: Series 40 Touring 5
Engine: 5473cc straight-4 T-head engine
Power: 40 bhp / 1.800 rpm
Speed: unknown
Production time: 1912 – 1915
Production outlet: 5,247
Curb weight: unknown
Special:
- The Series 40, most likely designed by Andrew J. Pierce, has a three-speed sliding gearbox + reverse, a Rayfield carburettor and rear wheel drive.
- The chassis has screw & split nut steering, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front, a Timken full-floating type rear axle, three quarters elliptic leaf springs at the rear, only external contracting mechanical brakes on rear wheels and wooden spoke wheels with 37 x 4 ½ tires.
- It came standard with an electric starter, windshield, speedometer, top and top hood for open cars, electric lighting, single ignition system and demountable rims.
- In 1912 the 2 point ignition system was optional.
- The model range was: a Coupé (1912), a Fore-Door (1912), a Torpedo (1912), a Limousine 7-passengers with a quaint intercom (it was only a mouth piece connected to a pipe so the passenger in the back could instruct the chauffeur) (1912), a Roadster (1912-1913), a Touring 5-passengers (1912-1915) and a Touring 7-passengers (1914-1915).
- To show the care in construction of a reliable, capable car, they tested their engines vigorously. In the testing rooms there was a series of tanks 8'H x 5' W x 5' L arranged for each engine. In each tank is water. Within 2' of the bottom there is a shaft driven through the out side on which is a 14" propeller wheel. As the engines come from the final assembly line, they are placed on the stands outside the tank and operate without a load for 2-4 hours. At the end of the time they are then connected to the shafts and run for 10-40 hours. This is to test out the magneto, carburetor, bearings, etc. They examine them before leaving the testing rooms. Then they are placed into a chassis. Before the body is put on, sand is used for weight equal to carry passengers weight, while testing the cars. Then the body is mounted and sent out to be sold at a Case Depot.
- The Case passenger automobile continued to be manufactured until 1927 when it was taken out of production. During those years approximately 60,000 cars were built.
- There are about a hundred Case cars (all models) left in existence.

Princesas y amores se encierran en estas murallas
Que caminan bañadas en un camino de agua, sigilosa,
Dulce se encuentra la noche y sus piedras iluminadas;
Cual rio, navegado por sueños de gondoleros que pasean
Sus almas una y mil veces acariciadas.
Vigilantes ojos en sus almenas guardan dolor, odios y penas,
Suspiros y amores…, sin cadenas.
Luces de colores se acostumbran a tus sombras, en la noche callada.
Princesses and loves are enclosed in these walls
Walking on a road drenched with water, stealthy,
Sweet is the night and the stones illuminated;
Which river, browsed dreams of gondoliers who walk
Their souls a thousand times cherished.
Rangers keep eye on their battlements pain, hatred and punishment,
Sighs and loves ... without strings.
Colored lights get used to your shadows, in the silent night.

Curb weight 4100 kg
Load capacity 3500 kg
Total wight loaded 7600 kg
This truck was used by the municipality of Dordrecht (The Netherlands) between 1922 and 1953 in hot and dusty weather to maintain their rodas by spraying them.
The car is built by Bergmann Electricitätswerke AG in Berlin-Rosenthal - Germany.
Sigmund Bergmann worked closely with Werner von Siemens and built between 1909 and 1949 electric cars inter alia the "Protos" and Belgiums brand "Metallurgique" in license, sold as "Bergmann".
In 1925 the Federal Post in Berijn recieved Bergmann electric cars.
In 1947 Bergmann Electricitätswerke AG went into VEB Bergmann-Borsig Berlin and that was the end of the electrical Bergmann.
Sigmund Bergmann was born in Thuringen (Germany), went to New York at the age of 18, was working for Edison (he sold the phongraaf). In 1879, Edison created the light bulb and Bergmann developed (independently) fittings, switches, sockets, etc. for this new phenomenon. Edison became a partner in 1890 and Bergmann sells everything, goes to Berlin and then works with Siemens.
