Stand 126. The Princeps Autocar Co., Northampton. The whole machine is of different design and construction to that lately made by this firm. The single cylinder is of 2 h.p., and is cast in one piece, with top radiators going to the centre to effect the greatest amount of cooling. The crank chamber is bolted to the frame by tee-shaped feet, having four bolts in each, thus making the frame and engine very rigid. A special form of combined float feed carburetter and regulator is fitted. An entire absence of wiring and levers render this machine extremely pleasing to the eye. A slight movement of the front lever serves to break the current.

The engine drives either by belting (Lincona) or by chain gear. This firm is also showing a twin engine of 4 h.p., fitted vertically in a similar manner to the single engine, with the advantage of its occupying no more space than the single type. It also shows an expanding form of a motor pulley of the V type. By pressing together of the sides of the V the belt is forced outwards, thus giving an increased speed of some 25 per cent. as a maximum; it also gives a free engine. In the chain-driven type a spring compensating wheel is used to take up the jar of starting and a friction clutch to give a free engine. The inlet valves are either fitted to work mechanically or automatically, according to the desire of the purchaser.
