Chester Herbalist also Oculist and Aurist self-taught and that I do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A four-wheeled vehicle or car the power of which is derived from a small cog-
wheel which encircles the axle.
The two hind-wheels and the shaft on which the small cog-wheel is keyed on are
all of one fixture.

Improvements in Velocipedes or other Vehicles.
FRED WILLIAM JAC'SON of 39 Walmsley Street Stalybridge in the County
of Chester Oculist and Aurist self-taught, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object an improvement in velocipedes or other vehicles,
whereby the power for driving is derived by means of three cog wheels gearing
one with another either actuated by hand or with steam gas, oil or electricity.
In order that my invention may be better understood I have appended hereto
one sheet of drawings upon which I have illustrated my invention as applied to a
vebicle.
Figure 1 is a broken off side elevation showing the shaft or
wheels of the vehicle upon which the working mechanism is
wheels not been shown as my invention do not effect these.
Figure 2 is a section on line 1-2.
axle of the back
fixed; the front
Upon the back axle A of a vehicle B I mount and key two wheels C and D,
inside the vehicle and upon this axle A I mount a small cog wheel E which is also
made fast to it by keying or other means, gearing with cog wheel E is another
cog wheel F which runs loose upon a shaft which has its bearing in standards J

page_text: and K inside the casing or framework of the vehicle B, with this cog wheel F
I gear a larger cog wheel G of say about three times the diameter of the cug
wheels E and F, this cog wheel G is mounted and keyed upon a crauked shaft H
which may have its rotary power given to it by means of a handle L when worked
by hand or the whole may be driven by gas, steam oil or electricity.
As will be seen that by means of this mode of gearing no brake would be
required whilst the driving of vehicles will be accomplished easily and a great
speed obtained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
Improvements in velocipedes or other vehicles consisting of the mode of driving
the same by means of cog wheels geared with the axle of the back wheels
-substantially as shown and described.
