THIS CAR has been specially df signed to meet the very general demand for a really comfortable two-seated car, provided with plenty of power, that will take the two passengers practically anywhere without trouble. It is constructed witii long wheel base, "•"i™ tho car exceptionally sale. It is very easy to manipulate, owing to the absence [plicated mechanism. Tho material, woikmanship, and fitting* a-re all of high qiauty. The gearing is extremely simple, and is most unlikely to get out of order. In o\ery case the working parts are entirely enclosed in oil-tighi covers, thus greatly, adding to the case of running and life of tho car. There 13 abundance of room for the passengers to sit at ease, both ia width of scat and space for the feet. ' SPECIFICATION.

Large lUS5 GEARS-Two Speeds running in oh, ALWAYS IN MESH. . V SPEEDS—Commutator for regulating electric ignition, giving speeds ranging from 6 to--18 miles per hour. CHANGING SPEED—This 13 accomplished by a, small lever fixed near steering gear, and is actuated by hand and gives low gear (speed six miles per hour); freo_ engine and hi»h speed at will. The high gear is approximately three times the speed of ow gear, viz., eighteen miles per hour. The drive is through a friction clutch, thus avoiding any violent jerk when changing speed. BRAKES—DoubIe hand brakes to back wheels—and tyre brakes to ditto for use xn emergency only—both applied by the feet. WEIGHT—About Bcwt, .„ / .

GEAR ALWAYS IN MESH. NO BELTS. -FREEWHEEL. THE "MOTOR SAYS:— "The Swift car is simplv full of special features; many oi them quite novel, _ and, to the -best of our belief, possessing considerable merit. It is built to carry two luxuriously. The seat is well upholstered, bread and wide. There is ample foot .room and "i tho back of the car is a nq'at boot for the carriage of luggage. Thelrame is tubular, spleno.idl7 braced It is of considerable length and breadth for a two-sealed car, and consequently should steer steadily. The-weight complete is beween 7 and Bcwt, which allows of an apie margin for strength, and durability. The engine is a single cylinder of 4J h.p., and "And now as to the special features. The motor shaft carries the usual . friction c l uich "but between it and the engine is situate a very neat and simplo reduction gear. From'thai clutch the drive is taken through a jointed shaft on to the rear axle. Now this jointed shaft ha-s two bevel pinions running free on the end of it, of different sizes, ana ' v ess are always in mesh with a lsrge bevel pinion, fixed to the back axle-hi the usual ay, and a smaller one inside the large onein tho space usually occupied by the Yerential. Between these two bevel pinions on the jointed shaft there is a ■ posnivo cmtch operated by a- lever on the steering wheel, which locks either at will, and so gives tho high or low speed. When this clutch is in a central position both these pinions revolve idly, and tho •'power of the engine is not communicated -to the road wheels, "But v;hat about the differential, our readers may ask? There is no differential. As a "übstiluto both tho road wheels are fitted with free-wheel clutches of the ratchet typo, such B 3 are in uso on bicycles, but of course much larger. One wheel- can, ccuseauently overrun the other'at corners. ' _ . shaft co/!vey3 tho power through bevel pinicns to ihe large or small bevel pinions on the rear "xie of the car, according «s the high or low gear is required, a positive clutch between the pinio-119 effecting the'change. If it is desired to disconnect the gear altogether, as vben the »ftr is left standing with ihe engine running, this positiva clutch 13- put ui a central position between the two -pinions on the arbor shaft. Finally the free-wheel clutches on the rear road wheels enable the car. to run absolutely free downhill, just a 3 a freewheel bicycle runs free. In other words, "the moment the speed of the car exceeds that of the gear the engine runs free. It is impossible, therefore, under any circumstances for the car to drive tho engine. The other features consist of double band brake on hind wheels and emergency tyre brakes. The pump is worked by a chain. Tho engine is ovc- the front springs, and there are. in addition coil springs between the front portion of the*body and the frame. Everything is most get-at-able. Thero are three small levers on the steering wheel. One works the positive clutch for changing the gears, the second regulates ihe mixture, and the third times the ignition. . . ~ . ° " The Swift Cycle Co. have for years been noted for the superlative; excellence of their workmanship, and in workmanship and material the car in question is a credit to them. "It is peculiarly suited for rough roads, for it is immensely strong, end at tho same "It is peculiarly suited ie of moderate weight." Price £350.
