Yorkshire Model Maker and GEORGE MYERS Clifton York Yorkshire Farmer do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED METHOD OF
PROPELLING TRAM CARS AND OTHER VEHICLES to be as follows:-
The tram car or railway carriage or highway carriage is of manumotive power
driven by a vertical windles or driving wheel with a endles rope chain or belting
round drums with teeth to receive links of chain or groved drums to receive rope
or plat faced drums for belting which chain rope or belting are wound round drums
or pulleys driven directly with windles or driving wheel at one end of car and
round pulleys at the other end of car fixed on spindle with geared wheels which
work in toothed pinion on inside of boss or naf of car wheel two ratchet wheels
are attached to the driving wheel or windles so that they will act for the out
journey and home journey simultaneously, the carriage is constructed with a driving
wheel in the centre of foot board or end platform, at one end of carriage with
a endles chain round driving wheel and then round a pulley fixed on the shaft
underneath foot board which shaft has three or more pulleys on to receive endles
chain that runs underneath the carriage and round pulleys fixed on sockets with
geared wheels which work on spindle geared into toothed pinion on inside of boss
on carriage wheels at the other end, and thus propels the carriage forward either
way with a powerful brake for all the carriage wheels.

grooved drums to receive rope or flat faced drums for belting which chain rope
or belting ar wound round drums or pulleys driven directly with 'windless or
driving wheels at both ends of car and round pulleys at each other end of car fixed
on spindle with geared wheels which work in toothed pinion on inside of boss or
naf of car wheels or by two or more cranks on shaft or axle underneath the driving
wheels and end footboard at both ends of car and visa versa driving from one or

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is
1 The features of novelty is in propelling the carriage forward by manumotive
power at each end of car.
2 Thus to obviate horse steam bydraulice atmospheric and electricity.
3 Perfect in construction without complications and will not easy get out of
working ordor,
