I'm 73 and remember having a Peugeot tricycle in the '50s that was bigger than the common ones, similar to those in the photo. It had belonged to my uncle, so probably from the late 30s or early 40s.

I've used this sometimes, but found it's easy to go through the tube wall, unless you use very slow speed.
