That can't be the comfiest of stoker positions, and the drive train looks interesting...

One of these was sold on eBay in Ipswich earlier in the year and that one had better photographs.  The stoker's cranks appear to be integral with the rear wheel spindle - most odd.

Usually the rear axle is oversized and hollow with the stoker BB spindle running through the rear axle. The stoker crank drives forward and the captain crank drives the rear wheel.
