hwellens Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Looks like it has chains on the rear wheels. I guess those cobble stones get slippery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 "Greasy" was the euphemism used at the time. A cobbled street with a generous coating of horse buns and urine. They stank and attracted flies...which is one reason why anyone who could afford to got out of the city in the supper. Chains were originally introduced to deal with mud in the countryside and greasy streets in the city. Practically no one drove in snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
