were 28 by 2 1 /2. A metal mudguard is located above each 

 wheel, and a stand is supplied at the rear of the frame. 

 Beneath the saddle is a metal tool box, and below the box 

 is a muffler connected to the exhaust port by a curved pipe. 

 The wheelbase is 57 inches. 



The rear wheel is driven by a double-reduction roller 

 chain from a sprocket on the engine crankshaft to a sprocket 

 at the hub of the rear wheel. This hub is equipped with 

 a clutch operated by a hand lever on the left side of the ma- 

 chine. Forward motion of the lever engages the clutch. 

 Metal guards cover the two chains. A pedal-and-chain 

 drive, incorporating a New Departure coaster brake, is pro- 

 vided on the right side. With the rear wheel raised from 

 the ground, and the clutch engaged, the pedals are used to 

 crank the motor for starting. The brake is engaged by 

 slight backward pressure on the pedals. The pedals are 

 not driven by the forward motion of the machine. They 

 can be used to propel it in an emergency, in which case the 

 clutch would be disengaged. 



At the time of the motorcycle's restoration in 1947, new 

 tires and inner tubes, contributed by Harvey S. Firestone, 

 Jr., were fitted to the machine.
