Ämne: Cykelbil Hill-Speed of Josef Svedberg
Dear Björn Sölving,
when searching for the cycelbil Hill-Speed created by Josef Svedberg
I found
the homepage of the Veteranklubben Alfa. As a enthusiastic
velomobilist
myself I was really enlighted by his construction when I found it in
the
book "Folkhemmets Farkoster". Do you know where I could find
drawings and
pictures of his constructions or if there is a hill-speed still
alive
somewhere? Especially I'm interested in the hill-speed in pcture 3
on page
57 (fix front wheel inside the body and the ) and I would really
like to
rebuild this masterpiece if I find enough information about it.
Kind regards,
Martin Keller

Det blev ett svar:
Hi Martin
Sorry, we have no drawings on the velomobil. In Veteranklubben Alfa
we just
try to describe the work/hobbies/etc of our old workmates.
As a last resort I will recommend this page:
http://hd.se/motor/2004/01/11/folkhemmets_farkoster_fraan_en_tid/
Text in swedish but use Google to translate. There you can read
about the
author of the book. Josef Svedberg died
july 3 2003.

Björn Sölving
Webmaster Veteranklubben Alfa
Här finns artikel om Josef
Svedberg och hans cykelbil

Hi Björn,
thanks for your fast answer. I read that Josef Svedberg died not
long after the interview for "folkhemmets farkoster". I will try to
contact the author Claes Johansson, maybe he knows something about
surviving work of Josef Svedberg. It's absolutely incredible what he
has done more than 60 years ago.. The velomobiles we can buy today
are for sure not more developed than what he has build by himself. A
real genious.
Thanks and best regards,
Martin

Hej Björn !
Josef Svedberg cykelbil beskrevs i
"Teknik för Alla" omkring 1945 - 1955.
I tidningen finns en översiktlig
konstruktionsbeskrivning. Kungliga Biblioteket
samlar på allt svenskt tryck,
start från Anno Dazumal. Där borde tidningen finnas.
Cykelbilen har en strömlinjeformad
karos av faner och en vindruta av plexiglas.
Josef berättade för mig att han
sålde ritning på cykelbilen till TfA.
Köpare var troligen Tekiska Förlags
AB.
Hälsningar
