“In this machine a petrol or paraffin engine drives a water—ballast roller through the medium of a clutch, a simple form of change—speed gear—box, and a single roller chain. The leading roller, by which steering is effected, is also filled with water, in order to obtain the dead weight necessary for rolling.” —Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1910
