Folks:I've just got myself a Harty Dingwall model 33 hand-controlled tricycle. I know very little about them, other than they were built just after the second world war, and many were used as invalid carriages.It looks a bit like a bathchair. Actually, no, it looks completely like a bathchair. It has two Fraser-Nash style sliding gears (I need to fabricate a new gearchange mechanism to get it working properly) and is a real dog trying to get it to go in the right direction - mine keeps wanting to go backwards.I'd love to find out more about these tricycles. If anyone has any information, please let me know.You can see pictures of what it looks like at:http://www.sillybuggers.org/
