The Enfield Cycle Co.

The Enfield Cycle Co., Ltd., have now equipped an entirely new factory for the production of motor cycles, and from their exhibit it will be seen that the Enfield Co. do not look upon motors as a " side line." The experience gained during the last few years in the building of motor quadricycles, tricycles, and bicycles has served them in good stead. For 1904, the Royal Enfield belt-driven motor bicycle is equipped either with 2¾ or 3½ h.p. vertical engine, spray carburetter, and specially large silencer. Great attention has been devoted to the strength of the frame and front forks, and the bicycle has a very handsome and workmanlike appearance. The Royal Enfield chain-driven motor bicycle is the machine which attracted so much attention at last year's show, and will also be staged. The engine, which is made by the Enfield Co., is of the vertical type, 2½ h.p., and one the chief features is the single chain which is employed for starting the machine, and for transmitting the power from the motor to the rear hub.

The Enfield Cycle Co., Ltd., have now equipped an entirely separate factory for the production of motorcars and motor-bicycles, and from this it will be seen that the Enfield Company do not look upon motor-bicycles as a "side line." In placing cars upon the market this company is bringing to its aid the experience gained during the last few years in the building of motor quadricycles, tricycles and bicycles. The Royal Enfield 10 h.p. car is fitted with a double cylinder engine manufactured throughout by the Enfield Company; it has three speeds and reverse, a four-seated tonneau body, artillery wheels, spray carburetter, and is equipped with one foot brake, and also two brakes operated by one lever.

The Royal Enfield 6 h.p. car has a De Dion engine, two-seated body, spray carburetter, one foot brake and two tyre brakes actuated by a lever; this car has also three speeds forward and reverse. The Royal Enfield belt driven motor-bicycle is equipped either with 2.75 or 3.5 h.p. vertical engine, spray carburetter and specially large silencer. Great attention has been devoted to the strength of the frame and front forks, and the bicycle has a very handsome appearance. The Royal Enfield chain-driven motor-bicycle is a machine which attracted so much attention at last year's Show; the engine which is made by the Enfield Company is of the vertical type 2.5 h.p., and one of the chief features of this bicycle is that only a single driving chain is employed. The firm will exhibit at the Stanley.
