Hydraulic recline and a longer seat

A hydraulic mechanism reclines the back. A seat-rail extension, built into the frame, and upholstery that can be lengthened set depth at 16 or 18 in. A spreader bar steadies the back and gives an attendant a push handle. Rear wheels are offset. Attendant wheel locks are placed for the companion. The frame is carbon steel with a double chrome coat. Upholstery is nylon. Wheels are composite, with 8 in front casters. A dual axle sets seat-to-floor height.
