Bonjour mes amies :)

This plan is an interesting one because it's a tadpole recumbent trike with the frame and suspension built entirely from wood (except for the very necessary screws, bolts & etc).
I knew this plan was around somewhere on a French website and it took me some little while to track it down. Unfortunately I don't have the magazine from which this plan was taken, but I think it was one of a series published in 1947.

I would have never been able to figure out how that steering works without the plans. Having the crankset between the front wheels did not allow conventional steering gear.
