Chainless wheel shown in Chicago by New York firm
The only chainless wheel at the cycle show, displayed in Chicago by a New York firm, mirrors a French design but is deemed an improvement by mechanical experts. Running parts are hidden, propulsion uses beveled gears on the crank shaft and rear axle linked by a steel rod in the right rear frame tube. A cogwheel replaces the sprocket on a smaller gear, with gears enclosed and aluminum construction. The tread matches current bicycles.
