Hi Ingrid,
OK, so you think that the description of the Patent is the source, that
sounds very logical indeed........... that someone made a précis of it and
this is how it has got on to the Internet.
The photograph on at least one web site suggests that the patent must have
followed the manufacture of a running prototype.
The question now is :- who was this Catley?

I have seen the patent for this and think that this may be the source
of
the
description.

Subject: [CATLEY] Catley & Ayres road steam vehicle 1869
Hi All,
The Internet has a number of entries for a steam powered three wheeled
road
vehicle weighing a bit less than a 1000 Kgs produced in 1869, in York, by
messrs Catley and Ayres.
One site at least, has a photograph showing the machine in question with
two
individuals who are presumably Mr Catley and Mr Ayres?
All the sites that I have looked at, give exactly the same word perfect
text
description which suggests a single and unrevealed source of original
information.
If I recall correctly, Chris' Catley database has a Catley // Ayres
connection but whether this is a York's associated event, or even anything
other than purely coincidental, I know not.
Does anyone have any knowledge as to who this Catley was?
Regards
Tim
