Tilbury (horse-drawn)
The tilbury is a horse-drawn car light, with two wheels, opened, with hood, invented in 1815 in England. It bears the name of the carriage-builder who developed it. The case is high placed and comprises a seat for two people, without trunk below. It has the shape of rotunda and is decorated balusters. The tilbury has a Dennet suspension, made up of two springs of axle and a transverse spring, or four right springs laid out in square. The stretchers are joined together with the back by a cross-piece. It can be drawn by a horse, or two out of tandem.
The tilbury was of use during all the XIXe century without notable modifications.
