For future reference... It is unfortunate that what I believe to be a Karrier Cob 'mechanical horse' is not more visible we don't appear to have one on imcdb yet. I see that normal horse-power was still common in 1948 at Covent Garden, so the Karrier Cob could be used to move horse wagons around when required, or make local deliveries. Another Karrier Cob at a GWR railway goods yard, in a similar situation, with an enlarged part of the above picture. ![[Image: cob.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/cob.jpg) ![[Image: cob2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/cob2.jpg) The Karrier Cob three-wheeled tractor (along with the Karrier Colt three-wheeled truck) preceded the far more successful Scammell Mechanical Horse. -- Last edit: 2015-11-25 19:58:21 |
