Clarke, Cluley, and Co.
The motor cycles on Messrs. Clarke-Cluley's stand are fitted with a contact-breaker of their own design. One wiping brush is of ordinary construction, but a second wiping brush is used for the earth current. The forecar on their stand has many features of interest, amongst which are the longitudinal tubes, which run from the forecar axle to the back spindle. These are adjustable in length to enable the chain to be adjusted. The bodywork is beautifully sprung, and a specially wide belt is employed. (Stand 96.)

Bradbury and Co., Ltd.
The Peerless motor cycles are fitted with a new type of contact-breaker, with an internal wiping roller, which tends to increase its wiping action as the speed of the motor increases.

The Abingdon Works Co., Ltd.
The above firm is showing a light 2¾ h.p. motor tricycle on new lines. It is belt-driven, and on the rear axle is an aluminium pulley of 12in. diameter. The use of more equal sized pulleys tends to make the belt grip well. Inside the gear box there is a two to one reduction gear, and the differential. The engine fitted is a 2¾ h.p. Minerva. The bicycle parts are well made, and all the work is beautifully finished...
