Tesla?? SCREW THAT!!! STEAM, and I don't mean "Stanley"

Leno and one of his restorers had that Doble at one of the flings in Woodley Park, probably a decade or so ago. Prior to the electric cars, what struck me was how quiet it was..... till the boiler lit.
I was having one of my straight eight cylinder heads surfaced at Evans speed a couple years ago, and looked at something odd in the corner of the shop. Shop manager said it was a transfer case for one of Jay Leno's steam cars.
