SCOTT Motor Cycle Co., Saltaire, Yorks.

The new three-speed Scott is an altogether bigger and heavier model than its predecessors, though it is still lighter than many four-stroke rivals of less capacity. The gear and magneto form a unit, readily detachable from, the frame. The front chain is easily adjusted by sliding the gear box in its slotted cradle, and alignment cannot be lost in the process.

The rear brake on this model is of the expanding pattern, and the wheel is detachable. Very wide channeled mudguards are fitted. The gear ratios can be altered very rapidly by changing the front sprocket of the secondary chain. A 3-gallon tank is standard, and a Magdyno can be readily fitted in the space behind the tank.

3¾ H.P. Model.

73x63.5 mm, (532.5 cc); twin cyl, two-stroke; drip feed lubrication; Amac carb,; chain-driven magneto; 2-sp. gear; clutch and kick-starter; chain drive; 650 x 65 in. tyres. Price: Solo, £95; with Sidecar, £120.

The standard two-speed model remains practically unaltered for next season, except that an internal expanding front wheel brake is now fitted.

3½ H.P. Model.

70x63.5 mm.. (486 c.c); twin cyl. two-stroke; drip feed lubrication; Amac carb.; chain-driven mag.; 2-sp, gear; clutch and kick-starter; chain drive; 650x65 mm. tyres. Price : Solo, £89; with Sidecar, £110.

The famous Squirrel has two minor but welcome alterations. The front brake is now of the expanding type, and the twin sight feeds of the lubrication system have been raised to a position where they are more easily watched.
