Truly an original blank-sheet-of-paper design, the David’s tube chassis<br />

supported trailing arms on coil springs at the rear. It featured a motor<br />

mounted behind, and turning with, the front wheel, which was in<br />

turn suspended from the chassis on an amazing three-quarter elliptic<br />

leaf spring. The gear lever, working through a huge “H” slot in the<br />

dashboard, selected the gears via fingers running through the middle<br />

of the front kingpin. The large, Teutonic white steering wheel (from an<br />

auto-Union supplier) turned a primitive, large-diameter, open crownand-pinion<br />

via a voisin patent constant-velocity joint. Rear brake levers<br />

and cables were external, another eccentric touch.
