The Society of Automobile Engineers was a group with about 300 members (in 1915) which considered itself influential in the development of automobile technology.[1] Its organ appears to have been The Automobile and it evidently sometimes considered aviation as well as land travel.
Not affiliated with the Aero Club of America.[2]
In July 1915 the chief officers were Howard Earle Coffin, Henry G. Chatain, and R. C. Carpenter.[1] Some members recognizable from the realm of aviation included Marius C. Krarup and Hiram Percy Maxim. Henry Ford, J. F. Firestone, and H. P. Dodge were members.[3]
George Douglas Wardrop was a member in 1920.[4] Ralph A. D. Preston was a member in 1922.[5]
