#10 of 20 star objects - Trilox Invalid Carriage

In 2013 the Friends of Trowbridge Museum put a call out, looking for someone 'who has a reasonable understanding of simple bicycle technology, who would like to take this on as a restoration project' after finding a Trilox 'Invalid Carriage' on Ebay. It consisted of a seat, two hand cranked chain driven front wheels and a back steered tiller wheel. Amazingly, a bicycle pump and a full tool pouch were still attached. Long standing member of the friends, and wood spoiler Bob Hallam took on the project, and the carriage can now been seen in the Museum.
