"SMITH BICYCLE, 1885 U.S.N.M. No. 279005... photograph No. 7971/2 E; plate 13, b. Patents No. 321819 & 321932... both issued on July 7, 1885, to William S. Kelley... Both... Star type, and claim improvements in bicycles and tricycles. This bicycle is... similar... to the full-sized Star previously described, its method of steering and operation being the same. The steering post is not within a tube, however. The metal front wheel is fitted with a solid rubber tire. ...The rear wheel, also ...metal, is fitted with a single-tube pneumatic tire... and... spokes. The leather saddle is mounted on springs and is adjustable fore and aft. The handle bars are curved. Linkage, operated by the rider's right hand, causes a spoon brake to bear against the rear tire. The linkage is returned by a flat leaf spring to the "off" position. As on the earlier Star, two driving ratios are available by shifting the effective attachment point of the straps to the foot levers."
