THIS Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring the sole patent rights for New Zealand of the “ Collier Two-Speed Gear *’ for Cycles, and to import or manufacture cycles fitted with the gear. It is generally admitted by riders of the ordinary machine that its greatest defect, as a means of locomotion, is the difiiculty of mounting hills and riding against the wind, or on bad roads. This is caused by the single gearing. The object of a two-speed gear is to lessen the amount of labour necessary to propel the cycle up hills and against head winds, or on had roads, and at the same time to allow a higher speed than usual to he attained on level 1 roads. The “Collier TwoSpeed Gear” is simple in construction, strong, and is built as part of the machine. In use, all that is necessary is to raise a knob, fitted at the top of the cycling frame, and the gearing is changed while riding at any .speed. Thus, if a hill is to he climbed, the knob is lowered, and immediately tie machine becomes much easier to propel. On reaching the summit, by raising the knob the-higher gear comes into play, and increased speed is obtained.

The “Collier Two-Speed Gear” has no increase of friction, and is equal at both speeds to a direct driven “Safety." It has further ,the additional advantage of practically affording double life to the driving portion of the machine, one bearing being at rest while the other is in use. The hard work hitherto necessary to propel a high-geared machine on give and take roads has debarred a great many people from indulging in the pleasure of cycling, and it is confidently anticipated that the “ Two-Speed Gear" will add greatly to the popularity of the sport. The “ Collier Two- 11 Speed Gear" is absolutely new as asimplemechanical motion, and in this lies one great security to investors.. It has been put to every practical test, and the highest testimonials have been received from the leading English and colonial riders and engineers. ; It is intended to establish the head office of the Company in Wellington, as being the most central point to work the colony from. 6108' Sports.
