He was an automotive pioneer, producing the York-Pullman Automobile before 1906. Other of his devices were Improved Line Kilns, Automatic Submarine Mine Anchor, Combination lock steering wheel, and Broomell's Vapor Heating System. Here is a 1903 Newspaper article from York about ALBERT:
"Six-wheeled car crashes. York industrialist A.P. Broomell builds a short-lived six-wheel Pullman automobile. The two additional tires do not ensure its success. The middle wheels power the awkward vehicle, so when the center tires hit a high spot the car seesaws from front
to back. The car also is involved in one of the county's earliest reported automobile accidents. The six-wheeler crashes into a telegraph pole on York's South George Street. The impact throws William Mitzell, an occupant, against the vehicle's front. The crash stuns Mitzell, but he is not injured. The six-wheeler is the first of an estimated 12,000 to 20,000 Pullman cars manufactured in York." The 1930 account, in a York newspaper, of the accident (one of the first auto accidents ever reported and so big news) of the 6-wheeled Pullman car, built by A. P.
Broomell, in York, is like reporting one of Edison's earliest experiments with a light bulb which did not, at first, work. The 6-wheeled car went back to the machine shop and was torn down. Using the original engine, which was quite reliable, a 4-wheel model was made, and this car worked out successfully. In 1905, the York Motor Car Co. was formed. The first 20
mass-produced Pullmans were ready in the fall of 1905. Dwight Eisenhower, when he was only a seconf lieutenant , owned a Pullman car in 1916. The general drove it often.
