Thank you!!
The terms "horse" and "mule" can often be confused in translation. Google says one thing, a true translation may be a bit different.
I cannot comment too much on the year, my source which was a history of such vehicles indicates 1895 but that may be a translation
problem as well, perhaps the concept was in 1895 and the actual vehicle was finally built in 1896.
In any case, a very pleasant quiz to work on.
