Born in an Illinois log cabin in 1868, Charles Edward Taylor started work at age 12 as a newspaper binder. He became a toolmaker and in his mid-20's he moved to Dayton, Ohio with his wife and child. There he began working as a bicycle mechanic and builder for the Wright Brothers. Needing a light but powerful engine that wasn't available off the shelf to power their airplane, the Wrights turned to Taylor. Based on their rough sketches, Taylor designed and built the aluminum-copper water-cooled engine in 6 weeks. The specs called for an engine that could produce 8 horsepower, and Taylor's generated 12 hp. And the rest, as they say, is history.
