John W. Lincoln of Stonington, Connecticut edited and published this magazine. He was an architect and had a strong interest in steam and non-i.c. power generation. His book "Methanol and Other Ways Around the Gas Pump" was a significant contribution to alternate energy in the 1970s.
Byron Spence of Canandaigua, New York was a contributing editor for a short time. Byron was born 19 July 1901 in New York state. He was living with his uncle Robert B. Spence in Starkey, Yates Co., New York in 1920. Byron attended Cornell, graduating with a B.S. in 1925. The Cornell alumni magazine in late 1929 notes, "'25, '26 BS—Byron Spence '25 was married on August 24 in the Middlebury College Chapel in Middlebury, Vt., to Miss Beatrice A. Mills, who received her B.S. from Middlebury and her A.M. in '27 from Columbia. George A. West '24 was best man at the wedding and among the ushers were Jared Van Wagenen '26 and George N. Page, Jr., '2.6. Mr. and Mrs. Spence are living at 403 Sixth Avenue, Wauwatosa, Wisc. He is Western sales manager for Chr. Hansen's Laboratory, Inc." They are listed in the 1930 census there. His interest in steam automobiles was continuous. He was a contributor to Light Steam Power and The Steam Automobile quarterly and attended many SACA meets in the East. For many years he was the US agent for LSP magazine and posted the issues in special envelopes from his home. He appears on two covers of The Steam Automobile quarterly including Vol. 8, No. 3. Byron passed away in Canandaigua, New York on 17 February 1992 at the age of 91, but his passing was not known to the SACA for a proper notice.
