I wish Will @filmonger was still around to comment. Here is an 1897 image he posted in the Pierce serial number thread. Although the image is not entirely clear, it appears one tandem has dual steering and the other two may not.

I have scans from the Wheelmen Library of Pierce catalogs for years 1897, 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902. For these years, Tandems are only shown in the 1899 catalog. The Regular Double Diamond Tandem Models 162 & 164 were single steering but double steering was available as an option. They also offered Track Use and Road Use models.

Tandems show up in the 1898 Pierce Catalog; it is interesting because it mentions to state (Texas & New York) champions (amateur racers) were won in 1897 on Pierce tandems. It is curious they did not appear in their 1897 catalog, maybe there was a separate catalog?
