Rudge Whitworth in the Edwardian Era
The 1912 model is the first year of the Rudge Multi, which uses a multi-speed axle and gear system with a laminated rubber drive belt and was a great improvement over the previous single speed configuration.
1915 Models
1915 998cc V-twin Model 7/9hp, introduced this year, was fitted with an IOE engine and a Jardine four-speed gearbox. Later models had the Rudge Multi variable pulley system.
1915 3½ h.p. "TT" replica also added to the Rudge range in this year. Few were made, due to increasing demands of the wartime economy, until
after the armistice of Nov 11th 1918.
