Supercharged Motor-Cycles
TT is believed by many experts that within a few years many popular makes of ears will be- supplied with superchargers and the science of supercharging has been so perfected that, il can be employed without great expense or any ill-effect on general flexibility and fuel consumption. It i-j also suggested that the supercharging of motor cycles may become more general, for several special machines have been built for contest work and recently a supercharged SOOe.c. twincylinder cycle registered 104 miles per hour when lapping nt Brooklands. It is now possible to incorporate a rotary-vane blower in the general layout of the mechanism in such a way that it occupies) but little space and is ivell protected, and the extraordinary increase in power and acceleration imparted by such a device encourages the hope that the development of supercharging with regard to both ears and motor cycles will lead to the introduction of some extremely inf cresting models in the near future.
