Octoauto

 I was unable to find any information about this vehicle other than it was assigned the name Octoauto. Searches for that name only provided information about the 1911 Octoauto made by Milton Reeves. 

Reeves based his creation on a 1910 Overland. I made a post about his car in the past. He made one prototype but no one ordered an Octoauto.

Volvo will cease production of wagons in the UK. The were first introducted in 1953. Apparently they plan to concentrate on SUV's and electric vehicles. There is a short article with photos of wagons through the years in EuroNews.Culture

Firefighters' bicycle

Firefighters' bicycles came into use in the late 1890's.  Their kit had all the latest pieces of gear a turn of the century (French) firefighter might need. Read the article here.
