The motorcycle has, for some time, been in a slow process of development for commercial purposes, and one of the latest utility carriers to be attached to a machine of this class is an extremely large sidecar body for use by a billposting concern. As -will be seen from the illustration which we publish on this page, the body is longer than the bicycle, its width being in proportion.
B`21 The track of the machine, therefore, is considerably greater than that of the ordinary sidecar outfit, and approximates more closely to that of a car.
The body is constructed in wood, and has a compartment in the front which is equipped with a large bin for paste, the top being fitted with an anti-splash device ; a tap is also provided at the front.
In the rear part of the body provision is made for two ordinary billposters' paste buckets, and ample space is allowed for storing bills, etc4 Suitable supports on the near side of the body arc fitted to enable a folding ladder to be carried. The chassis, of course, is considerably strengthened, most of the important tubes being duplicated. The machine to which this interesting outfit is attached is a 4 h.p. Triumph.
