The Electric Tricycle - A Glimpse into 19th Century Innovations
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Electric Tricycle" an engraving by the English School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, offers a fascinating insight into the advancements and inventions of that era. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on December 23rd, 1882. It depicts a group of professors led by William Edward Ayrton, passing their expertise onto future generations as they measure and examine various components of the electric tricycle. The tricycle itself is an impressive piece of machinery for its time. With toothed revolving force accumulators and incandescent lamps powered by electricity converted through innovative mechanisms such as spindle motive handles and candles, it represents a significant leap forward in transportation technology. Notably, John Perry's ammeter and voltmeter are visible in the image, highlighting his contributions to electrical measurement instruments during this period. Additionally, Perry's electro motor plays a crucial role in driving this remarkable vehicle. With its small brake pressure tap for steering control and large store of electro-gearing wheels providing power to propel forward effortlessly – this electric tricycle embodies both mechanical ingenuity and scientific progress. As we gaze upon this historic artwork captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how far we have come since then while appreciating these early pioneers who paved the way for our modern modes
