Description

These were some of the largest machines ever seen in Britain up to that date. This example, pictured at Southport, was the largest permanent Fair Ride in Britain up to 1900. Holidaymakers rode in suspended car which swung out as the speed of the ride increased, not unlike the popular Chairoplanes which superseded them.
