as applied to Clipper 

 Chainless Bicycles is un- 

 like any other. Those 

 who say, "All Bevel Gears are alike," are not well informed. 

 The Clipper system has been radically different from any 

 other from the very first. Clipper New Process Gears ("soft 

 generated," same as used by all makers except Leland & 

 Faulconer) were gashed and generated from forgings by 

 Brown & Sharpe on machines of their own make, which were 

 unquestionably the best then in use. After these gears left 

 the Brown & Sharpe factory they went through the "Clipper 

 Process," and were partially corrected after hardening. It 

 was this process which made the 



Clipper Chainless 



run so much better than any other. It was these gears which 

 enabled the Clipper people in '99 to ask and get seventy-five 

 dollars for their Chainless, while others were obliged to re- 

 duce their prices to sixty-five and less. We are now selling 

 this same wheel (Model 4-1900) at $60.00 net. The new Chain- 

 less Clipper Model 6 is fitted with Leland & Faulconer Hard 

 Generated Gears. "We'll tell you about them" in our next 

 Clipper ad. Send for our catalogue.
