Turicum (automobile)

The car was 140 cm (55 in) long, with pedal-operated steering and powered by a motorcycle engine.

The friction drive consisted of a flat steel disc coupled to the engine that drove a small, leather-covered wheel running at right angles to its surface.

The small wheel could be moved across the surface of the large disc, giving a variable gear ratio.

Conventional production cars were manufactured in Uster, with a steering wheel and two-seater body were shown at the Paris Salon in 1906.

[3] Sales in the home country were good, and cars were exported to Egypt, Italy, France, Germany, England, Denmark, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Argentina, and South Africa.
