Bayliss, Thomas, and Co., Ltd., Coventry (Stand 124), seem to be thoroughly alive to the possibilities of the tricar, and are showing one of a particularly sensible design. The frame is of the drop pattern, and the front axles are mounted upon long semi-elliptical springs. A powerful 4 h.p. engine is tilted. This has a clutch on the engine shaft operated by a foot lever, and a two-speed gear box, which is placed directly beneath the passenger's feet, and can be easily got at by raising a portion of the footboard. The transmission is by means of chains from the engine to the gear box, and thence from the secondary to the rear wheel. The chains are substantial, and seem capable of standing a great deal of wear. The water circulation system is very well thought out. A brass tank and radiator combined is carried just beneath the passenger's seat on the main stays of the frame, while the pump is driven by means of a shaft off the two to one gear.

The petrol tank is carried underneath the coach-built body. The back wheel is partly enclosed by two cupboards ; the one on the inner side contains the coil and accumulators, while the one on the off side is used for storing tools. A powerful band brake is fitted to the back axle, and is operated by the side lever. A foot lever actuates the front brakes. A change speed lever is fixed on to the steering rod, and is placed in a very convenient position. The machine appears to be thoroughly well designed and thought out. Among the motor bicycles shown on this stand we noticed one fitted with a 3 h.p. vertical engine carried in a loop frame, and fed by a Longuemare carburetter. This machine weighs only 130 lbs. Besides the above machine, there is also exhibited a 3½ h.p. tricycle with the engine carried in an inclined position, as in last year's models. A 3½ h.p. bicycle is also shown, the engine being carried in the same fashion. All these machines are fitted with spray carburetters.

Report on the 1904 Stanley Show, The Motor Cycle, November 28th.

The Excelsior machines were dealt with extensively on page 1111 of last week’s issue. The exhibit, which is well worth inspection, consists of a two-speed model with epicyclic gear in the rear hub, two standard 3½ h.p. machines with no pedals, two medium-weight twin-cylinder machines, a 2¾ h.p. with two-speed gear, and a 3½ h.p. with cone clutch and pedals. All the points referred to in our last issue are well worthy of personal attention, such as the new cam wheels, glass-topped filler caps, etc. etc.
