Built in 1923, the machine resembled a light car as it was two motorcycles joined side by side with a tubular structure. Each had a two-stroke Levis engine which drove a three-speed gearbox and the rear wheel by chain. It had sprung forks, a tubular frame and seats for two that were fitted between the linked forks of the machines. Panelling and a small door enclosed the works and gave it the appearance of a car. The two halves were were easy to separate.
Louis Maurice Bernon and Alexandre Ernest Louis Morelle applied for a patent (GB191974A) for the tubular structure of their motorcycle on the 14th of February 1922. See https://www.patentguru.com/assignee/maurice-bernon
