Simplexes with Non-Original Engines / Re: Military Simplex
« on: February 26, 2011, 05:24:55 AM »
I know of two authentic G-A-1s that exist.  One is in a private collection in Illinois, the other is in the 101st Airborne museum.  I have been working with a curator at the 101st on the G-A-1 that they have.  Here are some photos of the genuine G-A-1.

Simplex Trucks / Re: Simplex 3 wheeler
« on: February 26, 2011, 04:59:42 AM »
I have two three-wheelers (or trucks as they are referred to).  The later models are easier to drive than the early models.  The early model I have doesn't have a split shaft for the final drive which means both wheels turn at the same rate.  When going around a corner it drives a bit like a tank.  The later models don't experience that as both wheels are able to rotate at different speeds.  Top speeds on the trucks are about 35 m.p.h. or so and it feels stable at that speed.  I am sure with a different engine it would still feel safe up to 45 m.p.h. or so.
