Puckridge (automobile) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Puckridge (automobile) The Puckridge is a cyclecar built in 1904 in Port Lincoln, South Australia by bicycle maker F. B. Puckridge.〔(Cycle Car ), National Library of Australia (retrieved 1 February 2012)〕 Puckridge used as the basis for his vehicle a three-wheeler owned by his neighbour, a Dr Kinmont. Kinmont had been injured when the three-wheeler toppled over on a bend and wanted a more stable vehicle. Puckridge took the three-wheeler apart and built a four-wheel vehicle, using the original 2.75 hp single cylinder De Dion engine. He added a two-speed belt-drive transmission, tiller steering, gas lighting, and fan cooling. An unusual feature was the starter system, which involved pulling a chain through a hole in the floorboards to rotate the engine.〔Davis, Pedr & Tony, ''Aussie Cars'', Marque Publishing, Sydney, Australia, 1987, ISBN 0-947079-01-7〕 ==References== 〔
