I am pretty sure I got this one, the 1880 something Car that Gottlieb Daimler
built had a rack and pinion steering gear! One of the advantages of living in
the mid-east coast is being near Indy and at the Indianapolis Speedway Museum
they have a replica (I doubt it is the real car) of the first "Benz" and I saw
it with my own 4 eyes, a rack and pinion.
