five feet big high the whole concern mounted on oil five wheels concealed however under the machine it is covered with leather and lids lias a saddle buly the saddle paddle I 1 is very high in front band nd back so that there is no chance of being lu in front is a steering I 1 apparatus of or the simplest kind two silk cords and just before the saddle is a steel bar which regulates the speed if you pull it u up P you start the machine if you depress depres it you decrease deci ease case it until a point is aft attained when the apparatus stop sf the inventor quito a young man commenced winding up the machine with what seemed to me to td be a clank motion and as I 1 distinctly heard the clink of tile the ratchet I 1 therefore supposed it was worked by a coiled spring but I 1 have reasons since to think I 1 was mis mistaken ken J suppose it took two nii minutes to I 1 wind wild it up when lie he mou mounted it it and started it by pulling up tip the steel liar bar it alt in
