Wing Your Heel
Wore out three sets of tires already!
Couldn't find any info on the internet to confirm that the Rocket Rear-Steering Tricycle was made by Colson.
Here are 1938 patent drawings by William C Roe, assignor to the Colson Corporation.
The lower main tube kicks down to the rear axle at a different angle on the drawing and the actual tricycle. I assume because the trike is a larger wheel size than the drawing.
I wondered if anyone has a Colson or Wards catalogue picture of the Rocket to compare?
Amendments in the August 1938 patent below show different rear step, seatpost support and handlebar, which are the same as the actual tricycle.
