There was an article in _Smithsonian_ magazine on this, about five years ago.
The one which was most successful was produced in small numbers back in
the 1950's.  I believe it was a pusher design, and that it used some sort
of unorthodox system to transfer power to the propellor.  This was its
main weakness, because it made the plane a maintenance hog.

One of these planes was used for short time by a Seattle radio station
to report on traffic conditions.  One of the people who flew in it
said it was fun to honk the horn at seagulls.

Note that I referred to _Smithsonian_ above.  This is their regular
magazine, not the one published by the National Air and Space Museum.
