There was someone in Lancaster, PA that had a Bob Jackson trike on ebay, was that it?

I've seen a Franklin (Ohio made) that had a differential that would power both rear wheels. This was at Cycles by Kyle in Bryn Mawr, PA. I can't seem to find it on google today...

Paul Patzkowsky "the trikerider" mentioned http://www.tricycle-association.org.uk. They have a link to Longstaff Cycles that offer one & two wheel rear drive.

Also if you were unaware of the cornering technique Brian Baylis was talking about, check out the picture at http://www.tricycle-association.org.uk/photo_album.htm
