NJ. Gsunthier of Saint Melo, France,
has built monocyle OF ak and half
feet diameter which ne hopes will revo.
lutonzs cycle methods. The center of
gravity OF the new wheel when mounted
is below the center. and it ia evident
that thereby the difficulty OF riding is
obviated to a great extent. The wheel
is formed of steel tubing, eight bent~out
spokes of lighter tubing joining in a
very strong hub, where all the strain is
concentrated. A very ingenious Frame
work hinged in the hub provides seat,
handles and pedals. and the steering is
done by swaylng the body.
