front of the engine to the drive shaft via the auxiliary shaft, 

 with the drive shaft turning in a counterclockwise direction 

 as viewed from the front. 



A shaft for a starting crank extends forward from the 

 crankshaft and passes through a space provided between 

 the radiator tubes. 



Brake drums, probably of cast iron, are attached to the 

 rear wheels. Pushing the long clutch lever forward to the 

 limit of its travel contracts external bands on the drums. 

 Pulling the lever back releases these bands and engages the 

 clutch in the flywheel. Internal shoes within the drums 

 are expanded by depressing a pedal by the driver's left foot. 



A low wooden body, the sides sheathed with sheet alumi- 

 num, is fitted to the frame. A single wooden seat is se- 

 cured to wooden planking on the right. A cylindrical 

 gasoline tank containing a shut-off valve and a filler open- 

 ing is located behind the seat. A rectangular sheet alumi- 

 num cover is attached to the body behind the tank, with 

 another at the front of the car, the latter hinged to open 

 for inspection. Another hinged aluminum cover was for- 

 merly mounted directly behind it but is no longer in place. 



Like its predecessor, this racing car was a machine de- 

 signed for high-speed performance. Contemporary pho- 

 tographs reveal that the car's design underwent slight 

 changes from time to time, as an additional lever once 

 existed to the right of the driver's seat, and the seats them- 

 selves are not the original ones. Figure 79 shows the car 

 as it appeared many years after it had been withdrawn 

 from racing. Many parts, including the carburetors, are 

 now missing from the relic.
