    Waltham Manufacturing Company

    Waltham Manufacturing Company (WMC) was a manufacturer of bicycles, motorcycles, motorized tricycles and quadricycles, buckboards, and automobiles in Waltham, Massachusetts. It sold products under the brand names Orient, Waltham, and Waltham-Orient. The company was founded in 1893, moving to self-propelled vehicles after 1898.

    History

    Waltham Manufacturing Company was founded by Waltham businessmen around engineer Charles Herman Metz (1863-1937). Metz encouraged two employees to build a steam car of their own in the company's premises, which led to the Waltham Steam. Metz imported French Aster engines, and secured the U.S. distributorship for De Dion-Bouton engines. Further, he imported this maker's tricycles and quadricycles. Using De Dion-Bouton patents, WMC started building their own Orient Autogo and Orient Autogo Quad in 1899.

    An early investor in WMC, Charles A. Coffin (1844-1926), first president of General Electric, ordered an electric prototype in 1898, which went not in production. Metz experimented with engines mounted on bicycles. The evolving Orient Aster was one of the very first U.S.-built motorcycles. Metz was assisted by famed French bicycle racer Albert Champion (1878—1927) who arrived in the U.S. around 1899, becoming one of the first professional motorbike racers. Metz is even claimed to have found the expression "motor cycle" for his new vehicle, first used in a 1899 ad. Further, engines of Metz' design were developed and produced.

    Waltham (MBTA station)

    Waltham is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Fitchburg Line.It is located in downtown Waltham, Massachusetts adjacent to Central Square (Waltham Common). With 610 inbound boardings on an average weekday, it has the second highest ridership on the line (behind South Acton).

    History and Operations

    The station has an unusual configuration, similar to Lincoln. There are 2 side platforms separated by Moody Street: the eastern platform is used for inbound passengers, and the western platform is used for outbound passengers. Most of the station is located on a short single-track section; after double tracking is completed from South Acton to Willows in 2014, it will be the only single-track section of the Fitchburg Line.

    Commuter rail service to Waltham station has remained relatively constant since the MBTA was formed in 1964. However, several nearby stops on the Fitchburg Line and the Central Mass Branch were closed in the early years of the MBTA. The 1881-built Central Mass station building at Waltham Highlands, located at Hammond Street and Elson Road, still stands.

    Maria Simeone

    by: Waltham

    I've been dreaming about Maria Simeone
    For a long time
    I've been dreaming about romance
    And how we get it on
    And I would play and I would dance
    And baby I would be yours all night
    I think we should call your daddy up
    And tell him I'll be the one
    And if for any reason he said I'm too mature, girl
    There'd be nothing that I wouldn't say
    To prove that I'd be the one
    So I'll give him the speech I'm working on
    I don't care about these other girls
    Saying they'll be all mine
    I want Maria in that sappy-song way
    And I'll make to make it clear
    And I don't care about a small town
    Giving me a hard time
    Cuz they'll be hearing me in stereo
    And they'll see why I'm the one
    And if for any reason he said I'm too mmature, girl
    There'd be nothing that I wouoldn't say
    To prove that I'd be the one
