Unequalled for Reliability, Utility, Economy,
THE illustration below shows the Francis-Barnett with Electric Lighting, Leg Shields and Carrier. This is the most popular equipment, and those who use their machines in all weathers find the leg shields invaluable. The Carrier is light, but strong, and will safely bear a load of one hundred pounds.
The Francis-Barnett was awarded Two Gold Medals in the A.C.U. 1,000 miles Stock Trial, and a Gold Medal and Silver Medal in the Scottish Six Days' Trial, 1924. Belt driven machines were used in the former event and Chain driven in the latter.
