    3½ h.p. Model. 85 x 88 mm.; side by side m.o.i.v.; B. and B. carburetter; belt.

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,
