ADMK Mulus
The ADMK Motorkarrette Mulus was a wheel-chain vehicle of the Austrian Armed Forces from 1935 .
description
The design of the ADMK began in 1933 and the first samples could already be built in 1935. The unusual thing about this design was that it had a chain drive “above” and that it had wheels “below”. The driver could simply fold the wheels and thus turn the vehicle around. So the driver could decide which way he wanted to drive.
