That thing actually existed? I'm not sure I would trust my life to that. |

this is the only photo I have seen this as a 4 wheel other photos show it with just 3 wheels |

I’m afraid I wasn’t there at the time to count them. |

Its a matter of interpretation I guess. Based on this example it possibly could have four wheels in a 1-2-1 formation but the single rear wheel is hidden. I think some other early vehicles were like this but any uneven ground would be a big problem for the suspension. Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" However the one from the London Science Museum is definitely three wheels and there was unlikely to have been a wheel at the back at all.

Looks like the IMCDB photo has a mirrored front on both ends. it might explain the weirdness of it. -- Last edit: 2020-04-26 19:22:31 |

Now this is something I would classify as a bus, unlike the 1854 Bordino. |
