CITY OF HIGH GRADE WHEELS.
The styles and makes OF wheels are not
quite SO numerous as the riders, but they
| are many. Columbus, HANDLERS and
| Victors are the most popular wheels In Sa-
| van mol Nhan H.
Der, Fsatherstone, Warwick, Remington,
Union, Paragon, Lowell, Hartford aud half
| dozen others. There are probably more
high grade machines in Savannah than In
any other city Of its size in the country.
The Leags of American Wheelmen is rep
resented here by Mr.. Samuel Whiteside,
consul for Georgia, and a number Of mem-
beers, although the organization has not the
footing among the local wheelman that IL
deserves to have. The big one
has now upwards of $1,000 members and
is doing an effective work Ia the interest Of
the wheelmen and good roads throughou5
the entire country. The Wheslmen's Club
is working in the same direction Its chief
purpose is to regulate and promote bicycling
in every way possible.
The question why the high-grade bicycle
| costs 80 nuoh-a sum beyond the means Of
the ordinary wage-earner-is often asked
| The Iron Age gives some interesting infor-
nation in answer. In the first place. the
bicycle must be made on the Interchange
able principle, so that a missing or broken
part can be supplied by the factory at
once. All of such parts undergoa rigid
system OF inspection, being submitted to
/ the severe strains which they must STAND
while the machine Is IN use. Main parts,
like the sprocket wheel. hubs, bearings,
ETC., are gagged, the allowance for varia-
tions being one-quarter of a thousandth. A
| variation In excess OF this throws the piece
out The method Of "stringing" the wheel ia
thus described: "The outer ends Of the
spokes are threaded in order to enter the
hardened brass nipple, the Gap OF
| which is. of course. on the outer side of the
rim. The boy who strings the wheel up
merely tightens the nipples sufficiently TO
hold the parts together. After this the
| wheel goes to an expert workman, who
tightens tho spokes, bringing them all under
the desired tension. The wheel is then
mounted on an axle and turned, piece of
chalk held near the rim serving to indicate
any irregularity. To correct such defects
and make the wheel perfectly true, the nip
pies are frightened or loosened. This is a
simple matter, and yet one requiring great
Judgment" The brazing OF the joints and
the making of the felloe or iron to receive
the rubber tire are also operations requir-
ing the greatest precision and delicacy OF
handling. In short, there is no part of the
modern bicycle that can be turned out with
out the minutest attention to detail. The
day has not come when it can be made
factory fashion.
The Washington wheelmen will INTRODUCES
a number of novel features during the com
ing meet. one Of them being the use of sew
eral scores of messenger boys on wheels and
dressed in regular uniform to direct
strangers from place to place. The idea OF
having policemen on the silent steed is also
a new one, and the experiment, the wheel
men hope, will demonstrate the PRACTICABLE
ity of having some officers regularly
mounted on bicycles in order to assist them
in their work OF capturing criminals.
Everett and Lester Green of Rockville
Conn, are the latest inventors of bicycl,
boat. 1t has been placed on Lake Snipsi,
and attracts much attention. 1t is con
strueted Of two long. narrow boats, PLACED
few feet apart, with braces from one bos
TO the other. on which is placed an arrange
ment resembling a bicycle. The wheel i
sixteen inches in diameter, and the boat i
propelled in the same manner as a bicycle
1t can be forced rapidly through the waite
and is capable of holding four persons.
