Fits Like a Glove!

J.S. Write, motorcycle and speed record holder, riding a stream lined machine with which he hopes to establish a new record of 170 m.p.h.
Note how the rider is literally built into the car to reduce wind resistance to absolute minimum.

 

When J.S.Write, present motorbike record holder, makes an attack on his 150 m.p.h. record established last year, he will ride a machine which represents the last word in streamlining.

To such an extent are the streamlining principles carried out that certain parts of the cowling were built with the rider on the machine, much as a tailor fits a suit to a customer.

The power of the racing motor has been boosted to deliver well over 100 h.p. by the use of a supercharger, and it is expected that this motorcycle will reach a speed in excess of 170 m.p.h
