EASJ- DOME (HALL 58.) 
In this hall are installed an interesting series of velocipedes,, 
bicycles and tricycles, arranged in order of development; begin- 
ning with the primitive Draisine and ending with types of the 
bevel-geared chainless bicycles. 
CASE 1. — The Drasine. This rudimentary bicycle was con- 
ceived by Baron von Drais in 1816 and was patented in Paris in 
that year. It was brought to America in 1819. 
CASE 2. — A two wheel velocipede. This specimen is one of 
five manufactured in 1869. 
CASE 3. — A two-wheel velocipede, which is evidently one of 
the original Lallemant type and represent the third stage of the 
bicycle era. The second type appeared in 1845. 
CASE 4. — Bicycler of the '‘upright’’- type, among them be- 
ing the Columbia which is regarded as the pioneer "upright” bi- 
cycle of American construction, and was brought out in 1878,. 
also a back woods,” made by hand. The driving wheel is a 
carriage wheel, and the rear wheel is solid with a steel -tire. 
This is claimed to have been the first bicycle in the Ohia 
Valley. 
There are three models of the upright bicycle shown in this 
case. 
CASE 5.— Two safety bicycles one an American star, which, 
type was invented in 1880, and for years was an important factor 
on the road and track.
