The War Museum features a motorised and/or pedal power "Quadricycle Gun Carriage"

The centre piece of the display is the motorised and/or pedal power "Quadricycle Gun Carriage". It is the only replica known to exist. The original machine was first built in 1899 as a passenger carrying vehicle by the Great Horseless Carriage Company in London. Shortly after, a Mr. F.R. Simms modified the chassis, and installed the first fully automatic gas operated machine gun to create the "Gun Carriage". As a fighting machine however, the Quadricycle was not a stunning success. It does, nevertheless, stand as a testimonial to man's ingenuity. The replica was constructed in 1990 from photgraphs of the original Quadricycle by Alice Springs resident, the late Mr. Don Bennett.
