More "inventions"
Among Miller's innovations include perhaps the first engine mounted on a bicycle and the first outboard motor.
Miller built a 4 cylinder engine and mounted it on a boat.
Miller also produced the first aluminum pistons, developed the aluminum alloys still used in engine development today, and the first carburetors and induction system to use Helmholtz resonators.
Miller also produced the first front drive race cars and the first 4 wheel drive car.
Miller then progressed to making Miller single-seater race cars that used supercharged versions of his 2.0 and 1.5 liter (122 and 91 in³) engines. The engines took four more wins in the (Indy) 500 up to 1929, twice (1926 and 1928) in Miller chassis, and won the race another seven times between 1929 and 1938 (twice again, in 1930 and 1932, in Miller chassis).
