Panhard, armoured vehicles constructor, was inspired by this rhino.
It is a drawing I grabed a long time ago. Until today I thinked it was a joke of technician. There is 2 seats and 2 tilted blocks of 2 wheels. :thinking:

Hi Gorgik,
this is the colored version of the Solvay Conference photo.
I don't know if it is an authentic autochrome made in 1927. I think it is more likely to be a recent digital colorisation of the original black and white picture,

Je pense que pour rendre possible la transformation de la voiture Pahnard en véhicule militaire pour tout type de terrain, les techniciens devraient installer un moteur plus puissant que celui de la voiture Panhard

I think that in order to make the transformation of the Panhard into a military vehicle all-terrain, the technicians would have to install an engine more powerful than the one on the Panhard car

@ golfdelta

Is this the Tech University where you worked as a teacher for several years?

No, unfortunately, because at ETH the lessons were held mainly in the Swiss-German language (a dialectal version very different from the standard German spoken in Germany) and in German, two languages that I know very little and badly.
I taught at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Lausanne and at USI (Università della Svizzera italiana-University of Italian Switzerland) in Lugano (Switzerland).I also taught in 2 Lombard universities (Italy): at the State University in Pavia and at the Polytechnic in Milan .
Almost 15 years have passed since I stopped being a teacher ... a lifetime ago

I guess they use Schwitzerdütch in Zürich, the very particular German dialect where Küchenschrank (kitchen cupboard) becomes Küchichästli (or something like that...I'm definitely any kind of specialist in Schwitzerdütch)

Of course, Lausanne and Lugano - I should have remembered since you've told me so before. Ah, my forgetfulness...
