Motor Cycle — U.S. Patent No. 686,284 (1901) is a carefully drafted technical illustration presenting GottSchalk’s design for an early motorized cycle. Executed in crisp black ink, the drawing shows side and partial sectional views that clarify engine placement, frame construction, and the relationship between wheels and drive components. Numbered callouts and spare linework emphasize mechanical logic over decoration. The composition reflects patent-drawing conventions of the era, prioritizing clarity and reproducibility. As an artifact, it captures a formative stage in motorcycle engineering.
GottSchalk was an inventor working during the rapid experimentation phase of early motor vehicle development in the United States. His patent reflects the broader effort to adapt bicycle frameworks to internal combustion power while maintaining balance and usability. Although little biographical detail survives, GottSchalk’s work demonstrates practical mechanical insight and familiarity with emerging transport technologies. Today, his patent drawings are valued as historical images documenting innovation at the dawn of personal motorized travel.
