ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE—KRIEGER SYSTEM.
Scientific American June 8, 1901 page 357

One of the latest types of electric automobiles is the new two-place machine of the Krieger type, or "electrolette," as it is called. This is the smallest machine of this type which has been designed up to the present. In this system the front wheels turn at the end of a fixed shaft, and each is driven by a separate motor with reduction gearing, thus doing away with the differential and making a less complicated arrangement.
