    History

    1896

    Scottish immigrant Alexander Winton, owner of the Winton Bicycle Company, turned from bicycle production to an experimental single-cylinder automobile before starting his car company. Winton owned a large lakeshore estate in Lakewood, Ohio. In the mid-1960s the home was demolished and an upscale high rise condominium was constructed aptly named Winton Place.


    1897

    The company was incorporated on March 15, 1897. Their first automobiles were built by hand. Each vehicle had fancy painted sides, padded seats, a leather roof, and gas lamps. B.F. Goodrich made the tires for Winton.

    By this time, Winton had already produced two fully operational prototype automobiles. In May of that year, the 10 hp (7.5 kW) model achieved the astonishing speed of 33.64 mph (54.14 km/h) on a test around a Cleveland horse track. However, the new invention was still subject to much skepticism, so to prove his automobile's durability and usefulness, Alexander Winton had his car undergo an 800-mile (1,300 km) endurance run from Cleveland to New York City.

    Winton (RIRTR station)

    Winton is a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. It was closed in 1956 along with the rest of the line.

    Beautifully Confined

    by: Entwine

    Waking up in these confines (Confines...)
    In my thoughs I got my ways to hide it all (to hide it
    all...)
    Shadows rising, shadows fall
    Deep inside I hear them call
    I believe I'm done before new dawn
    My divide is sleeping filled in my delusions
    Strangers we are, still the same as we'd be in love
    so bring the morning light and pull the curtains wide
    And rise the burning sun
    Waking up to realize (Realize...)
    Standing out to see the life beyond war
    If I'm blinded to collide, in the end I'm crusified
    I believe I'm done before new dawn
    My divide is sleeping filled in my delusions
    Strangers we are, still the the same as we´d be in
    love, in the lunar light so pull the curtains tigh
    And stands beside me
    Strangers we are, still the same as we'd be in love
    So bring the morning light and pull the curtains wide
    Rise the burning sun
    (Solo)
    Strangers we are, still the same as we'd be in love
    In the lunar light so pull the curtains tight
    And stands beside
    Strangers we are, still the same as we'd be in love
    So bring the morning light and pull the curtains wide
