 plied at the rear of the frame. A cylindrical fuel tank 

 suspended from the frame above the engine is fitted with a 

 shut-off valve at the bottom. A small, metal, tool box is 

 attached beneath the rear of the fuel tank. Rubber- 

 covered footrests are provided adjacent to the brake and 

 shift pedals. The saddle is a Mesinger "Auto Cushion." 

 No battery, generator, lighting equipment, or warning sig- 

 nal is provided. The weight of the cycle is approximately 

 150 pounds. 



This motorcycle was restored by the Museum staff dur- 

 ing November and December, 1951, at which time it was 

 disassembled, cleaned, refinished, and reassembled. The 

 old tires of the early 1920's have been equipped with new 

 butyl-rubber inner tubes. The 1926 license plate of the 

 District of Columbia, attached to the rear fender at the time 

 of presentation to the Museum, was also refinished with its 

 original colors. 



Fiaure 98. — This 1918 Cleveland motorcycle was restored in 1951 by the staff
