This is a part which, although modified, was recovered by ADY.
The main feature of my recumbent is total control via a single
"Joystick".
You steer by moving the handle sideways, pushing you brake with the two
front discs, a lever is used for the rear disc
brake and for the gear shift, the rotary control is used for the front
derailleur.
Mirror, bell, light switch and horn button complete it.
For me, this solution was indispensable but if anyone is interested,
below, there are details.
I do not assume responsibility about dimensions.
For who that want information

The steering
is calculated in order to have different movements for the two wheels
(the inner one has an inferior turn).
For the front brakes a balance device exists in order to share in equal
way the brake force.
The movement in ahead is however minimal and there are two spring to
bring back.
All the pivots are on self-lubricating spherical joints and the
bearings are shielded.
