F. H. C. Mey, of Buffalo. Velocipede. No. 109,644. Patented November 29, 1870.
“To all whom it may concern:
“Be it known that I, F. H. C. Mey, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Dog-Power Vehicle.
“This invention relates to vehicles which move from place to place on roads, pavements, etc., and consists in an improved construction thereof.
“A is the driving-wheel, which in this instance is in the front of a vehicle having three wheels, but may be in the rear, if preferred, or in any other location.
“The animals being placed in this tread-rim, as represented in Fig. 2, and caused to work, will impart motion to the wheel and to the vehicle, as will be clearly understood.
“Having thus described my invention,
“I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,—
“The combination of wheel A B C with a pair of wheels and body to form the running-gear of a vehicle, in the manner shown and described.
“F. H. C. Mey.”
