<!--Transferred from [[Gyro monorail]]-->
After developing a model gyro monorail in 1911, he designed a [[gyrocar]] which was built by [[Wolseley Motors|Wolseley Motors Limited]] and tested on the streets of London in 1913. Since it used a single gyro, rather than the counter-rotating pair favoured by Brennan and Scherl, it exhibited [[asymmetry]] in its behaviour, and became [[unstable]] during sharp left hand turns. It attracted interest but no serious funding.{{citation needed|date=March 2025}}
The gyrocar was rediscovered in 1938, when workmen uncovered its remains in the Ward End property of Wolseley. Although it had been buried it was said the chassis was in excellent condition, the engine turned over and the gyros still pivoted, the main issue was damage to the aluminium bodywork. After being excavated, it was transferred into the [[Wolseley Museum]].<ref>"Gyroscopic Car", ''The Scotsman'', 28 June 1938, p15</ref>
