nve-what the Machine May DO.
When tho tandem was built n number
of years ago, 1t was looked upon as n re-
markable development Of the bicycle, and
the two riders skimming along over tho
road attracted almost as much attention
as a small circus parade. The triplet, with
seats for three riders, but only two wheels,
next made Its appearance and astonishod
tho cycling world by its speed. Both tho
tandem and the trlplet were used for pao-
ing riders in contests against time, and
some expert finally suggested hat a quad
ruplet or a two wheeled machine for -four
sturdy cyclists would set a faster pace than
had ever been seen ON the track.
Many persons did not believe the frame
could be made strong enough TO support
four heavy wheelmon, but the machine
was constructed and proved IA great sue
cess as a pacemaking device. IL made It's
mile on u straightaway course in ] minute
30 seconds, n better performance by half a
second thar Salvatore world famous mile

the quad was the longest bicycle that
could be built and operated successfully,
but Il. j. Bcrlo very recently demonstrated
that the opinion was not we'll founded.
