A highwheeler patent for rear suspension:

Details of the suspension:

After all, as Jobst points out in regard to Moultons, suspension is a
necessity, not a luxury, for small wheels.

Dear Michael,
Alas, not oil, and no damping.
Automatic leather-sealed ball-valve air-cushion, which adjusts height
to the rider's weight. I like the "metallic feathers."
Here's text of the patent:

Looks similar to the spring system in one of those cheap suspension
seat posts off a hybrid.
