there was an old man living across the road from our house in the early 50s, known to us lads as mr Rowlands he wore a suit every day and a waistcoat with a silver watch and chain , he used one of these almost every day and it was a treat for us small boys to get a ride on the floor board from the bottom of our street to home. If I remember correctly you turned the hand grip to make it go and being electric it was silent , a great memory for me regards to all Rob.
