See De Dion-Bouton Model AL 1907 from France at Southward Car Museum. Count Albert de Dion went into partnership with George Bouton in 1883, building steam tricycles and heavy commercial vehicles. They developed a petrol engine and the now famous De Dion axle, whereby the drive was transmitted by universally jointed half-shafts while the weight of the vehicle was taken by a tubular dead axle also carrying the wheels.
