Random Picture Thread Vers.4

One of my favourite old school London boozers just up from Covent Garden. Proper.

 

See if you can figure out how this suspension set up works...

 

Leaf springs and friction dampers... or am I missing something?

 

Possibly not but I can't say I've seen such a set up before. In addition to only using half a leaf spring I can't figure out why the wheels are linked by two solid bars. They can't be both anti-roll bars.

And what is the linkage/mechanism underneath the larger bar in the second photo?

 

I think that the swan-necked rod (front and centre in pic #2) connected to the rod running alongside the body is the primary steering turning the off-side wheel. The thicker bar curving under the rad connected to the offside wheel is the steering link from the near-side wheel. The ones under the main axle are tie-rods.

 

Who did they think was going to see their art...
