Skene Cycle & Automobile Co. 1900 - 1901 J. W. Skene Cycle & Automobile Co. Lewiston, ME The Skene Company boasted that every part of their light steam buggy was made at heir works, which, if true, distinguished it from many assembled machines. In design, however, it was conventional, using a vertical 2-cylinder engine of 5 hp, single chain drive, and tiller steering. An unusual feature was that a single-passenger body could be fitted, as well as the typical two-passenger Stanhope.[1] [1] Georgano, G. N., Encyclopedia of American Automobile, (New York, E. P.
