		Ratchet-Drive Wheelchair Dealer Wanted
Attn:
European Wheelchair Dealers

I'm looking for a special type of wheelchair.  They have a bicycle-ratchet
type mechanism on each rear wheel.  Hence you propel the chair by pumping
a lever on each wheel.

These chairs are excellent for someone who does not have good control over
thier fingers. (I cannot grip but have full strength in my arms.)

Please e-mail any comments or information you've got including manufacturers
address.  I think they are manufactured in Holland.
