Lots of little mechanical linkings. In fact I saw a video of a replica of the first Benz. The presenter pointed out that it was the same as a modern one in every real sense.

I've been telling my fellow writers here at the <i>floss</i> that it takes a bold person to put down the first comment on a blog post. Once there's one, others feel free to contribute, as well.
