SOLVED: Djetset #133 - Charles F Taylor One Wheeler

Puzzle #133 is not a SEAT, but something far more unusual.  Tell me what this chassis is, and the point is yours.

Charles Taylor's very clever machine from 1964. It used two gyroscopes, one in a vertical plane, one horizontal, and used an analog sensor to control an air blower through an adjustable shutter, calibrated to control pitch.
