Short Triple-Tractor

10/31/2008. Remarks by Fred Kullas: "The Triple-Tractor of 1912 was powered by two 50 hp Gnome engines, placed in tandem. The front one drove a direct coupled tractor propeller while the rear engine drove two tractor propellers, one on each side of the fuselage, via a chain drive. The pilot and passenger were seated side-by-side."
