Yep, and they also used them in the early days of automobiles, they would go and pick up your car, and hook the trike to the rear bumper to bring it back. When your service was done, they hooked it back up, delivered your car, and then rode the bike back to the garage.
Don't remember when they started making them, probably in the 30's, maybe before, but the last was 1973. In 71? they started hanging a Ford Alternator in between the front downtubes, as the generator couldnt handle the newer model police lights etc.
Police in Rocky Mount NC had one, nice looking ride, but that alternator was UGLY...lol
