You wouldn't think of there not being a steering wheel in a car, but in what year was the first known account of a steering wheel installed in an automobile?

While the first vehicles were steered using a tiller, Alfred Vacheron took part in the Paris–Rouen race with a Panhard which he had fitted with a steering wheel, making it the first documented case of a steering wheel installed in an automobile.
