electricallydriven type bur dened down bya bank of storage batteries and can hardly be des cribed as automobiles in the modern and accepted sense of the word It was not until 1904 that auto mobiles really could be said to have gone into production in Can ada This took place first in tiny factory in Walkerville where in the initial year grand total of 117 vehicles were produced In rapidsueeession other Can adian automobile plants became established in Oshawa Windsor Toronto and other Central Ontario cities forming the nucleus of the vast industrial semicircle now ringing the Lake Ontario shore
