Sleigh-Horseless carriages

Janesville sleigh illustrating where step is located

From what I've learned, the main difference between a sleigh step and the common buggy style step is a sleigh step usually has 3 arms vs. 1 coming from the step pad, but not always, see the Janesville step below. Many sleighs do not have a cast step, you just step on the upper frame of the runner.

I apologize for the poor photos, but sharing what was sent to me. I don't know the physical dimensions. The bottom photo is a closeup of the full step above. I am GUESSING this is prior to 1905 because of its design in mounting to a vehicle.
