This machine possesses probably the most novel departures from standard practice, and it is sure to draw an interested crowd to Messrs. Nye and Co.'s stand No. 62. Unfortunately the machine is exhibited in an incomplete state. Power is derived from a horizontal two-stroke single-cylinder engine, which in itself is of entirely original design. An Amac carburetter is fitted at the rear of the crank case, the induction pipe being swept over the magneto, which latter is mounted on the crank case casting. After entering the interior of the crank case the gas is transferred via a horizontal pipe to the combustion chamber, being admitted by an automatic inlet valve of orthodox design. A variable pulley gear is fitted, operated by pedals protruding through the footboards, and the slackness of the belt on the low gears is taken up by swinging the driving pulley radially on a gear wheel driven from the main shaft. The petrol tank is of the streamline type (see illustrations), whilst still another novel feature is the system of springing both the front and rear of the frame. The axles are fitted between strong spiral springs, which latter are enclosed in vertical casings. The Wooler is, in short, the novelty of the Show, and well worthy of careful scrutiny. The finish calls for admiration.
