After it was found that steam-,
driven carriages were impractical on
ordinary roads various oils began to I
be considered as a possible source of
motive power. It is maintained, with-1

built and operated a four-wheeled
carriage driven by a crude internal
combustion engine. Be that as it
may, it is certain that in 1884, I)r.

tricycle driven by suoh a motor. In !
