Long steam tricycle

[1][2][3] One example was built, which after some years of use was dismantled and the parts dispersed.

In 1946, one John H. Bateman, with assistance from the 96-year-old Long, reassembled the machine, which is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution.

[3] The example at the Smithsonian has been noted as the "oldest completely operable self-propelled road vehicle in the museum".

[5][6] Specifications in the infobox to the right are from the Smithsonian Institution America on the Move collection.

[3][7] Steering the two front wheels was accomplished via two independent tillers which would have made simultaneous steering and control of the brake levers difficult for a single individual.
