IVY-PRECISION, No. 99.
S. A. Newman, Lichfield Road, Birmingham. – This is quite an interesting machine. The handle-bars are wide, with crossbar to aid rigidity, and for the purpose of carrying accessories. The front forks are novel in that they provide a direct up and down movement, and also a buffer to allow a slight rocking motion. The forks are best described by saying that they combine the advantages of the Druid with those of the Triumph forks. A front wheel stand is fitted, serving as an additional stay for the front mudguard, which, by the way, has side wings,
A twin Ivy-Precision is a new introduction. It is a very taking looking mount on standard lines.
Other details as above, except that the spring fork is not provided with the buffer referred to in the description of the preceding machine. Also a 3½ h.p. model with ordinary type of handlebars and spring forks.
This machine is designed specially for sidecar work. The Albion two-speed gear with handle starting to the rear hub is controlled by a pedal. Wide rubber-covered footboards are provided.
