Title: F#53 - Solved - Khym
Post by: faksta on March 21, 2009, 01:39:53 PM
Wow! What is that? For one point.

Not a car in the conventional meaning... I'd call it a carriage with one HP and rear wheel drive  :)

Ford Mustang prototype.

It's not a car actually, yes :)
I'm not also sure it's a Mustang prototype.

Now that's what I call "putting the cart before the horse". 

Ok, someone had to say it, right?   ::)

Very early Porsche?   :)

Hardly. But note that it has a steering wheel :D

Ah ah !  It's the Khym hippomobile from the Tour de France caravan at Cognac.  "Khym" was the make of an aperitive. That was before Lance Armstrong, I think.

In times of alternative technologies filling the news every day, let's have some fun over the week-end.

For one point, please respond and tell me who invented this rear-engined horse carriage and when he did it.

So that's what they mean by "putting the cart before the horse"!

Though I can't remember the name (it was one of Ray B.'s puzzles), I believe this is a re-post.
Title: Re: Wendax 023
Post by: Wendax on February 12, 2011, 01:09:07 PM
I can't find the name I have by searching the puzzles.

You have successfully gone half the way. I am looking for the name of the inventor (not Khym) and the date.

Locked for you till your next reply.

Sorry, just had copy of the card. No background.

Can an equestrial expert finish this?

Early Ferdinand Porsche creation? :nana:

It is a re-post, see   http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7360.msg52483#msg52483

Post by: Wendax on February 20, 2011, 11:23:33 AM
I searched for the inventor's name, not for Khym  ;D

I suggest, we leave this puzzle open as the inventor hasn't been named yet. When he's found, an editor might merge the puzzles.

Professional horse-pushing knowledge needed
Title: Re: Wendax 023
Post by: Wendax on April 11, 2011, 12:52:52 PM
I guess a hint is needed. The man in search - we know he's French - got a prize for it on an inventors' exhibition.

Abel Bonmarchand from Clamart/France must be the inventor you´re asking for.

The photo has been made in 1906 as my source says.
Title: Re: Wendax 023
Post by: Wendax on April 11, 2011, 03:23:19 PM
That is the name. Another point for you.

Could someone please merge the two puzzles?
Title: Re: F#53 - Solved - Khym
Post by: Otto Puzzell on April 12, 2011, 03:50:58 AM
Merged
Title: Re: F#53 - Solved - Khym
Post by: Wendax on December 05, 2011, 04:13:47 AM
A similar device (or the same one in an earlier stage of development)
Title: Re: F#53 - Solved - Khym
Post by: grobmotorix on November 01, 2014, 07:16:45 PM
There was a civil, non promotional version of the puzzle "car" in 1905!
Title: Re: F#53 - Solved - Khym
Post by: grobmotorix on November 01, 2014, 09:39:44 PM
And another promotional version - I really would like to know the name of the inventor...
Title: Re: Wendax 023
Post by: Wendax on November 02, 2014, 04:01:27 AM
You once knew it!  ;)
