This illustration is a copy taken out of ‘Motor Cycling’ dated February 1919.
An Autowheel turned to a novel purpose,
this is the idea of a Swiss and attracted
much attention. Steering is by cable.
Interestingly, this particular copy was found under the floorboards of a friend's vinegar factory in Derby. In the Letters Section, one that caught the eye was from an irate gentleman who advocated the removal of mudguards, stating that it was far cheaper to swill down your oilskins than renew saturated bearings after inclement weather.
Regards,
Barrie Gobey
