Abstract

The craft has a central hull which supports four paddle wheels. The paddle wheels are carried on axles. The pedal cranks provide a drive through a differential gear to a chain drive. This drives the front wheel and a chain drive connects the drive to the rear wheel. A similar arrangement drives the other side. The steering wheel is connected to a drum over which are wound steering cables. Pulling on the cable causes a brake to operate on the axle of the rear wheel, which is also connected to the front wheel on the same side.
