Geiser a fabriqué des moteurs à essence, il y a eu un autre constructeur (Cleveland, Ohio) qui produisit des véhicules nommés Peerless, les deux entreprises ne semblent pas liées.

The CP crew heads north through the Lakeshore Athletic Club parking lot to pick up an empty at Peerless, the candy maker. Normal operations were on Tuesday and Thursdays and included carloads of flour (old airslide hoppers) and corn syrup (tanks). I used this fitness club for 2 years back then and always enjoyed the "No Parking - Train" signs that they put up Tuesdays and Thursdays when this train ran.

Taken on Hastings Pier by AM Breach. What a Motely Crew! Love to know what this sketch was about. chap on the left has a slightly scary appearance, judging by the lady's attire and shoes in particular I would say this was taken 1910s, love the hats and expressions on these Pierrotts faces. Will see if I can find any more information about this interesting group.

Part of a series capturing the activity involved at Peerless as the employees and train crew worked to release an empty hopper that had contained sugar and receive new tank cars of corn syrup.
Peerless Confection was a favorite of railroad photographers as the last rail served customer on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston branch line north of Clybourn Avenue from 1984 to its closing in 2007. In its final decades of operation it was serviced by the MILW, Soo/CP, and Chicago Terminal. Several blocks of street running were needed to reach Peerless.
Peerless stretched from Diversey on the north to Schubert on the south, occupying the entire city block on the east side of Lakewood. It was torn down by 2008 then replaced by condo buildings.

In 1919 the British Army found itself short of armoured cars when many were needed quickly to police various trouble spots around the world. Few manufacturers wanted to do war work at the time but the Austin Motor Company of Birmingham agreed to provide armoured bodies if the War Office could come up with suitable chassis.
Austin had made armoured cars during the war, mostly for the Imperial Russian Government which favoured a twin turret design. Some of these cars later served with the Tank Corps. The best chassis that the War Office could come up with was the Peerless, of which stocks were available. The Peerless was a robust, chain-drive chassis manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio which had been used in large numbers as lorries by the British Army during the war. In fact the chassis was too long for the Austin body, leaving a good deal sticking out at the back.
In reality it did not make a very good armoured car. It was too big, too unwieldy and slow while the crew got a rough ride on solid tyres. However it was durable and quite a few were still in service when the Second World War began. Peerless armoured cars saw service in Ireland, as food convoy escorts in London during the General Strike and with Royal Tank Corps Territorial Armoured Car Companies.
During painting in 1984 number 5035-CF was found below radiator flap and 31 on offside door.
Vehicle chassis is the standard 2.5 ton Peerless TC4 chassis and the armoured body an Austin design of 1918. Drive to rear wheels is by sprocket and chain. First car to have controls duplicated at back so allowed the vehicle to reverse easily in an emergency. Used in Irish Civil War, 7 of them handed over to National Army after treaty of 1921. These remained in service until 1934. After this the armoured bodies and guns utilized on locally produced AFVs.

The Peerless was a British car made by Peerless Cars Ltd. of Slough, Berkshire, between 1957 and 1960, when the company failed. The company was resurrected by one of the original founders, Bernie Rodger as Bernard Roger Developments Ltd and marketed as the Warwick from a base in Colnbrook, Buckinghamshire, between 1960 and 1962.
The car had been renamed the Peerless GT by the time series production started in 1957. It featured Triumph TR3 running gear in a tubular space frame with de Dion tube rear suspension, clothed in attractive fibreglass 4-seater bodywork. While the car had good performance it was expensive to produce and the overall fit and finish was not as good as that of similarly priced models from mainstream manufacturers. About 325 were made.

The brand 'Robin' is definitely confusing.
If you were perhaps thinking the Robin f1.9 looked suspiciously like the Beau Supra V18, you may be right! See the wiki on the Taron V18.
And the 'Robin Super LM 35'? See the wiki on the Taron VL.
But the bargain-basement Robin f2.8? It seems to be a Neoca SV with a Zunow lens. Even the small badge on the front seems Neoca-inspired.

Part of a series capturing the activity involved at Peerless as the employees and train crew worked to release an empty hopper that had contained sugar and receive new tank cars of corn syrup. A Peerless employee had to scramble to remove the hoses as the Soo Line train showed up to swap out cars.

The Peerless Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1900 to 1931. One of the "Three Ps" – Packard, Peerless, and Pierce-Arrow – the company was known for building high-quality luxury automobiles. Peerless popularized a number of vehicle innovations that later became standard equipment, including drum brakes and the first enclosed-body production cars.

I was really pleased to see this one - it's a Peerless GT, with a GRP body and a TR2 engine, and a De Dion rear suspension. The main design was by Bernie Rodher, but John Keeble - later of Gordon-Keeble fame, was also involved. The cars were built at Slough between 1957 & '60.

Hidden and decaying above an amusement arcade In Batley, West Yorkshire is the former Regent Picture House. Above a suspended ceiling are the remains of the old cinema, built just after the end of the Great War in 1919. Originally it could hold 800+ patrons who would have paid to see the films of the day.
Today, it is derelict; its projectors and spools of film left in the projection room. Although the tiered flooring remains in the circle, many of the seats have long gone. Two rows of original seats are left. The ornate plaster work of the ceiling remains as do wonderful traces of the old cinema.
Plans are in the pipeline to convert the upstairs of the venue, but keeping many of the original features.
Photographed on September 18, 2010, prior to the Glenmoor Gathering at Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio.
This Peerless prototype is all original and has spent its whole life either in storage at the former Peerless factory or on display in the Crawford Auto Museum in Cleveland.

Picnic At Ross Classic Car Show 2018 - 1959 Peerless GT. Made by Peerless Cars Ltd, featured Triumph TR3 running gear in a tubular space frame with de Dion tube rear suspension with a fibreglass 4-seater bodywork. Two Peerless Works cars were entered in the 1958 Le Mans. The race versions of the GT had hand-built engines, additional fuel tanks, and a lowered suspension. One of the cars won its class, and finished 16th overall.
About 325 were made between 1957 and 1960. After Peerless went broke in 1960, the car morphed into a Warwick, which included a prototype of a 3.5 Litre GT which used the light alloy Buick V8 engine that was later used by Rover in P5, P6 and SD1. The Peerless space-frame was subsequently used as the basis for a Chevrolet-powered, Giugiaro-designed, Bertone-built bodywork, which eventually reached production in 1964 as the Gordon-Keeble.
The last revenue run up to Peerless Confectionary?
I received a call from Ken the engineer on the Chicago Terminal at the time tipping me a couple of days earlier off that the final run to Peerless would take place on February 1, 2007. Peerless announced it was shutting down January 12, 2007, with the last day of operation April 30, 2007. No new orders would be accepted after February 15, 2007.
This Chicago Terminal operation would involve retrieving an empty tank car and returning it to the North Avenue Yard. So I took the day off from work and brought with me a banner I made signifying the end of rail service on this northernmost section of the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line.
And yes I was still shooting film back then with my trusty 35mm Canon camera.
Assisting Ken that day was John who was a conductor and a younger person whose name I do not recall.
Later I heard that one more run was made to Peerless before it shut down later that spring for good. Then in 2008 gondolas were stored on the Peerless spur after the factory was torn down as well as an excursion run by Chicago Terminal parent Iowa Pacific with the passenger car Caritas for Iowa Pacific customers.
If anyone has photos of a REVENUE run up to Peerless after February 1, 2007, I would be interested in seeing them posted.
I wrote an extensive history of the Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line in the book "The Milwaukee Road in Chicago" which was published by the Milwaukee Road Historical Association in 2007 if anyone is interested in knowing more. It goes into the Chicago Terminal era.
I received no money from the book and it sold out quickly but might be available on the secondary market. The MRHA is considering reprinting it and I have an update to go with it.
