Pennington Armoured Car(Tricycle) 1896 patent
Permalink   

An advert in "Horseless vehicles" (1900) mentions Penningtons armoured car and which got me curious and after several false starts a search of the EPO turned up this:

GB 189622610  (A) Improvements in or relating to Machine Guns, their Carriages, and Appurtenances.

Which includes said Armoured Vehicle....

Cheerswink

This engine looks as extraordinary as his armoured car project.

I am located on the Continent, so I don't know what EPO means, sorry.

As far as I remember, the Pennington vehicle at Beaulieu was an old repro at scale 1/1, but I might be wrong.

Hi Gemsco I found this, apparantly the last survivor of 5 cars

http://www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/?location_id=335&previous_filter=Most+Popular&filter=pennington

They says its original...

EPO has a fairly complex searce engine clearly designed by a commitee of bureaucrats the best thing to do is to book mark this page..

http://worldwide.espacenet.com/advancedSearch?

put in Edward Joel Pennington as the inventor, a publication date is sometimes usefull 1896, 1897, 1898 etc when there too many entrys

Edward Joel Pennington results: (this is not necesarily all penningtons patents)

click on first relevant entry and then in the righthand column "original document" you can go through the results from there..

Hope this is helpfull

Cheerswink
