Veloce 3.5 hp
T. T. Races - 1913. What we Think! Mr Motorcyclist Disadvantages of the usual type Our view of an ideal motor cycle
More that two years ago we recognised these defects, and
realising the advantages of being first in the field, we set out do design a
machine which would as far as humanly possible be perfect. The machine must be
light, for ease of handling and economy of running; it must be capable of
climbing any hill, however steep, and a the same time it must possess a turn of
speed sufficient to satisfy all but the most inveterate speed merchant, to whom
only an 8 hp stripped racer will appeal. Above all it must require no
attention which the veriest novice could not give it, and, in fact, it must be
as reliable and as easy to handle as a pedal-cycle. It therefore must be
fitted with a genuine automatic lubrication system, a really efficient clutch
and change speed gear, and the transmission most compatible with the general
design. Unique features of the machine
The engine and gear-box are combined in one casing
giving an exceedingly compact appearance to the machine; the engine bearings are
lubricated by oil fed under pressure from a pump driven engine, the gears and
clutch are operated by one pedal, there being no clutch springs or
unsightly outside control rods, and clutch adjustments is unnecessary.
Also, and this point should be noted, there are only six gear wheels in the
whole machine, In addition to our lightweight machine we also manufacture a 3.5
hp model of the conventional type Yours faithfully VELOCE LIMITED Fleet street, Birminghan

What
the Press Thinks
ENGINEERING-
MOTOR CYCLE-
IRISH CYCLIST- A very natty little unit it is, very ingenious is the way in which holes have been drilled in various parts to permit the oil getting where it is required. There is nothing at all flimsy in the construction of this engine and gear, the design is undoubtedly very sound.
