MINOR DETAILS
MOTOR-CYCLE DESIGN Buring recent years the fundamental principles of motor-cycle design have undergone little change. The tendency has been for manufacturers steadily to improve their productions in minor rather than major details. That there is progress in design must be readily admitted; nevertheless, in the opinion of many keen motor-cyclists, the British motorcycle industry is at present in a groove. There are certainly grounds for this belief since there is little individuality about the various makes, and in nearly every case there is a slavish adherence to the conventional. The dominating type of present-day machine is that developed by T.T. races, and it is rightly asserted that such a machine is unsuitable for the middle-aged or for utility purposes.
