I'm sure I've seen this photo before, so I've just spent time looking at every page in my Beaulieu Encyclopedia (1792 pages) and it's not there!
The company is listed in the Beaulieu Encyclopedia, as well as on several websites, but this is the only photo I've ever seen. I found it in my own digital archive, downloaded years ago from some since-forgotten source.

Was the manufacturer active only in 1923 ?

As far as I'm aware, yes.

Did they build only three wheelers?

Yes, according to all sources I've seen. But then, the same sources are wrong about other aspects.

Nick Georgano got that totally wrong. He claims the single wheel was at the rear, anmd the driver sat alone behind the passnegers.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Absolutely does not correspond to the existing images of this machine.

You're right! The image I have must've been mislabeled.  :o :-[

Oguerrerob gets to keep a point, but I'm moving this back to 'Masters' with another point for anyone who can solve this mystery (with proof).

Here's the uncropped photo, taken in New York City. (The building in the background is the Young Mens Hebrew Association at 1511 Fulton Ave, Claremont, Bronx, NY.)

Into the hole, so now worth two points.

Moved to the appropriate section and still worth 2 points.
