Hazlewood.
A new make of motor cycle for 1912 is the Hazlewood. It is a 2¾ h.p. medium weight. A J.A.P. engine with side by side valves is employed in conjunction with the Armstrong three-speed hub, giving gears of 5, 7, and 10 to 1. A dropped top tube, substantial stand and carrier, Druid spring forks, and eccentric bottom bracket are standard fittings. Brakes and mudguarding have received special attention, and this machine should help to meet the increasing demand for a light machine which will go anywhere. We hear that Hazlewoods, Ltd., are one of a few firms who have between them booked up all next year's output of the well-known Armstrong gear.

HAZLEWOOD, No. 43.
Hazlewoods, Ltd., West Orchard, Coventry. – This machine is quite a new departure for the Hazlewood Co. It is fitted with a 2¾ h.p. J.A.P. engine. The machine is on standard lines throughout having a dropped top tube, Druid spring forks, kick up stand and strong carrier. Great attention has been paid to the brake gear, which is very strongly carried out. the rear foot brake rod being fitted with a support, which is also used as a stop for the spring pushing the shoe out of action. The magneto is situated high up behind the engine, and is consequently well protected from mud. This machine can be supplied with a fixed gear and adjustable pulley. Both models are fitted with pedal gear.

5 h.p. Model: 70x76; side by side m.o.i.v.; B. and B. carburetter; chain and belt; three-speed Armstrong gear.
Hazlewoods, Ltd., Coventry.
The twin Hazlewood is quite a new model, and is an extremely interesting and well-designed machine. Its most notable feature is the fact that an Armstrong three-speed hub is mounted so as to form a counter- shaft which is driven by chain, the latter being entirely enclosed in an aluminium case. The final transmission is by belt. The usual method of operating the Armstrong gear is employed.
The foot brake operates a fibre block through a rocking shaft and takes effect upon the outside circumference of the brake rim. Both cylinders discharge into a single silencer, which is immediately underneath and forward of the crank chamber. Above this is the magneto, which is driven by chain. A similar model to the above is shown with three-speed Armstrong gear in the hub.
The now well-known 2¾ h.p. 70 x 76 machine is also fitted with Armstrong hub gear.
