The chassis came from Loebel and the engine and cardan drive from Landgrebe. The vehicle was a collaboration between Walter Loebel and E Landgrebe. On the idea of we-don’t-count-tracks-here this can be a two-wheeled car. 3 WHEELS IN LINE SLINGER Motorcycle: 1901 Left: Three wheels in line Slinger motorbike: 1901 This unique bike is powered by a 499cc De Dion engine. Remarkably for the time, there have been disc brakes on all three wheels. Left: The Harper runabout: 1921-24 There have been quarter-elliptical springs on all three wheels, which have been of pressed steel. Three WHEELS: HARPER RUNABOUT: 1921 The Harper Runabout was developed by Robert O Harper, manufactured by Avro and produced from 1921 to 1926. (Around this time Avro have been experimenting with two-wheeled automobiles) The Harper Runabout has a Wikipedia web page nevertheless it has little data. Left: The Harper runabout: 1921-24 The engine was a single-cylinder two-stroke Villiers of 269cc, which developed 2.5 HP, and drove the rear wheels by chain, by way of a 3-pace gearbox. It was powered the Scott Company’s own water-cooled 578 cc twin-cylinder two-stroke engine driving by means of a 3-pace gearbox to the offside rear wheel only, by shaft; there was no differential, and no reverse gear.

Google reverse picture search yields nothing. It had a 5.5 HP 631 cc air-cooled side-valve single-cylinder engine, and a two-speed epicyclic gearbox, with no reverse gear; final drive was by chain to the rear wheel. It was powered by a single-cylinder two-stroke engine of 198 cc (5.5 HP claimed at 3200 rpm) or 247 cc. It was powered by an air-cooled two-cylinder two-stroke engine giving 12 to 13.6 hp from a 396 cc displacement. THE CYCLAUTO ANZANI: 1919 Left: The Cyclauto: 1919-23 The is a Cyclauto Anzani, inbuilt France from 1919 to 1923. (which presumably means it was not a fantastic success) Information is at present in brief supply, but it surely seems it had a two-cylinder water-cooled 750cc Azani engine, which ought to have given it a lively efficiency. The film was set in 1940 and the three-wheeler was given some ‘futuristic’ bodywork. Given the space between the tiller and the pivot the turning circle will need to have been rather massive. The steering looks prefer it could be a easy tiller arrangement, but there appears to be one thing like a half steering-wheel on the inboard end. Surface carburettors relied on simple evaporation, fairly than atomising nozzles, and were not very effective; they were essentially extinct by 1904. Ignition is powered by a battery within the field below the seat and behind the gasoline tank.

It was powered by a 293cc SV JAP or a 250cc Villiers engine, and was a 2.5 cwt delivery van with a automotive seat and steering wheel relatively than a motorcycle saddle and handlebars. The Sociable had a triangulated tubular steel body, and a correct steering wheel appearing by rack and pinion on the front wheel. Note that it has a proper steering wheel. The front axle was solid with semi-elliptic leaf springs, while the only rear wheel had twin quarter-elliptic leaf springs. This model has a luggage-box on the rear physique. We learn here that last drive was by two belts- how reliable were they, I ponder? If there have been two belts then presumably there was a differential. It has a chain drive on the left facet of the front wheel, simply like the Phanomobil. Left: The BSA 3-wheel van: 1931 A serious problem with front-wheel drive is the need for the front wheels to swivel while energy is being transmittted to them. Left: The BSA 3-wheel van: 1931 Unfortunately the text right here is usually illegible even with ‘laptop enhancement’ as it use to be referred to as.

Idioms at greatest, even below the most favorable circumstances possible:The job will not be completed for a month at greatest. There is also a turret with a minimum of one gun beneath the primary physique, with an much more restricted subject of fire, and two further guns mounted in sponsons on each aspect. It manufactured by Walter Loebel Maschinenfabrik, of Leipzig & Dresden, but was only in production from 1919 to 1921, which suggests it was just about unsuccessful, very probably because of the only seat; at the very least with a motorbike you may take a pillion passenger. The Beltrail Tractor Co. was based mostly in St Paul, Minnesota, USA and made tractors from no less than 1917 to 1920. My grateful due to Steven McDonald for drawing this image to my consideration. At first sight appears to be like as if it is perhaps another case of just one wheel plus tracks, like the Killen-Strait tractor above, but this is probably the results of some overenthusiastic retouching.
