The progress of Ariel Works, Ltd., has been such that it can truthfully be said that to-day they are the largest producers of any single type of motor cycle-the 500 c.c. in the world. The medium-weight Ariels for 1929 show signs of many all-round improvements. The engine dimensions are the same as in the past, but there are in all some two dozen new features. Prominent amongst these is the use of dry sump lubrication. The crankcase is ribbed for rigidity and radiation purposes, and oil is forced direct to the centre of the crank-pin. The system is such that oil consumption works out at no less than 4,000 miles per gallon.
On the side-valve machines, the valves are totally enclosed, whilst on the O.H.V.'s there is a new type of enclosed rocker gear. The cylinder is also fitted with a shorter induction pipe which tends towards easier starting and the timing gear-wheels are all "ground," this ensuring silence and efficiency.
For 1929 there are no single-port O.H.V. Ariels, the medium-weight range consisting of four machines only- two side-valves and two double port O.H.V.'s. The prices of these have been reduced considerably, and are now as follows :-Side-valve Model A, £44; De Luxe Side-valve Model B, £46 10s. ; Double-port O.H.V. Model E, £47 10s. ; De Luxe Double-port O.H.V. Model, F, £50. A gear-box driven speedometer with tank fitting costs £2 extra.
The prices of the new Ariel lightweights have now been fixed at £36 for the side-valve machine and £38 10s. for the double-port O.H.V. It will thus be seen that in both classes Ariels offer excellent value for money.
