MOTOR CAR. rpHIS CAB has been specially dfcsigned to meet the very general demand for a really |JL comfortable two-seated car, provided with plenty of power, that will take the two passengers practically anywhere without trouble. It is constructed with long wheel base, making the car exceptionally safe. It is very easy to manipulate, owing to the absence of complicated mechanism. The material, workmanship, and fittings are all of high quality. The gearing is extremely simple, and is most unlikely to get out of order. In every case the working parts are entirely enclosed in oil-tight covers, thus greatly adding to the ease of running and life of the car. There is abundance of room for the passengers to eit at ease, both in width of seat and space for the feet. SPECIFI CATION. ENGINE—IJ h.p. water-cooled engine engine, fixed in front of car, and fitted with chain-driven pump, radiator, etc. WHEELS.—HaII-bearings, fitted with Pneumatic Tyres, 26 x 24. BODS'—To seat two, giving plenty of room Luxuriously upholstered in dark green. Woodwork neatly painted, black framing, dark green panels and lined white. Largo luggage carrier at rear. GEARS—Two speeds running in oil, ALWAYS IN MESH. SPEEDS—Commutator for regulating electric ignition, giving speeds ranging from 6 to 18 miles per hour. CHANGING SPEED—This is accomplished by a small lever fixed near steering gear, and is actuated by hand and gives low gear (speed six miles per hour); free_ engine end high speed at will; The high gear is approximately three times the speed of low 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 in imergency only—both applied by the feet. WEIGHT—About Bowt. LENGTH—Five feet three inches between centres of wheels or 7 feet 6 inches over all. WIDTH—Four feet four inches extreme over dust caps. NO CHAINS. LONG WHEEL BASE. GEAR ALWAYS IN MESH. NO BELTS. FREE WHEEL. THE "MOTOR NEWS/’""ENGLAND, SAYS: " The Swift car is simply full of special features, many of them quite novel, and, ' <o the beat of our belief, possessing considerable merit. It is built to carry two luxuriously, the seat is well upholstered, broad and wide. There is omple foot room, and in the jack of the car i* a neat boot for the carriage of luggage. The frame is tubular, splendidiy braced. It is of considerable length and breadth for a two-seated car, and consequently should steer ■steadily. The weight complete is bewcen 7 end Bowt, which allows of an aple margin for strength and durability. The engine is a single cylinder of 4J h.p., and it situated in front. . " And now as to the special features. The motor shaft carries the usual friction clutch, but between it and the engine is situate a very' n-eat and simple reduction gear. From thol clutch the drive is taken through a jointed shaft on to the rear aide. Nov/ this jointed shaft has two bevel pinions running free on the end of it, of different sizes, and these are always in mesh with a large bevel pinion fixed to the back axle in the usual way, and a smaller one inside the large one in the space usually occupied by the differential. Between these two bevel pinions on the jointed shaft there is a_ positive clutch Operated by a lever on the steering wheel, which locks either at will, and so gives the high or low speed. When this clutch isin a central position both these pinions revolve idly, and the power of the engine is not communicated to the road wheels. “But what about the differential, our readers may ask? There is no diSarcntiftl. As a substitute both the road wheals are fitted with fwo-wheel clutches of the ratchet type, such as are in use on bicycles, but of course much larger. One wheel can cc’t.iSoquently overrun the other at corners. “To make the system quite plain, we will sura up the results. The engine or crank shaft runs to an ordinary friction clutch, with a reduction gear between. This clutch is used in the ordinary way for starting or for disconnecting the engine suddenly when stopping .or in traffic. From the crank shaft a jointed shaft, commonly known as an arbor shaft, conveys the power through bevel pinions to the large or small hovel pinions on the rear axle of the car, according as the high or low gear is required, a positive clutch between the pinion* effecting the change. It it is desired to disconnect the gear altogether, as V'fceu the wSr is left standing with the engine running, this positive clutch is put in 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 as 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 fox the car to drive the engine. The other features consist of double band brake on hind wheel* and emergency tyre brakes. The pump is worked by a chain. The engine is over the front springs, end there afe in addition coil springs between the front portion of the body and the frame. Everything is most get-at-able. There are three small levers On the Steering wheel. One works the positive clutch for changing the gears, the second regulates (he mixture, end the third limes 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, and at the same lime of moderate weight."
