The Atlanta Duo Range

Model 36/P.I. 250cc O.H.V.

FOREWORD. The " O.E.C. Atlanta Duo " Motor Cycle can be ridden with equal ease either as a solo or with passenger on the long comfortable seat. The performance of the machine is quite equivalent to that of any orthodox motor cycle with similar power unit, and owing to the fact that the weight of both the rider and passenger is located between the wheels and in a much lower position than on the normal motor cycle, ease of control, apart from comfort, is greatly increased. Further features are the inherently stable Duplex Steering and the enclosed type Rear Springing. Legshields and footboards are easily detachable, and a detachable front screen may be had to fit in front of the handlebars. The legshields completely isolate the rider's legs from road splashes and offer a measure of protection in the event of a spill. The seat is easily straddled and equipped as standard, the ease of handling is appreciated by all, even over the worst of conditions. For trials, etc., where weight counts, the legshields and footboards may be quickly detached and in no wise affect the performance.

MUDGUARDS, SHIELDS AND SEATS.
The front mudguard is 6in. valanced standard type, fitted to the steering girder, so that it moves with the handlebars, but is fully sprung. In addition a shield extends from the steering head on one side to the other round the back of the wheel, to prevent road splashes on to the rider's legs. Legshields of normal type with wide side valances are attached to the steering heads and the front ends of footboards, which latter extend rearwardly to a point in front of the gear-box are rubber covered. The long seat cushion is Dunlopillo. A back rest is provided on the front of the rear mudguard for the passenger. The rear mudguard is of sufficient width to completely enclose the upper ends of the rear springing and frame, and is some 12in. wide at the rear of the seat, offering complete protection against road splashes from the rear. All normal adjustments can be made without removing shield or seats.
