The Bord Motor Co.
The new pattern of the Bord Lightweight motor cycle has been greatly improved since the last shows, the cylinder having been increased in bore and stroke, so that it now equals 1¾ h.p.; the half-speed axle and valve-lifting gear have also been made much larger, in spite of which the increase in weight is only 1½ lbs. The engine is now entirely English made, and all parts are interchangeable. The company are exhibiting six motor cycles, two of which are fitted with a new type of spray carburetter.
