NJ. VALERIE, prominent French scientist,
who is possessed of brilliant mechanical
and technical mind. has invented a tandem
designed to use greater portion of the en-
ergy of the racing man than is used in the
present style Of racing. In inventins the
novel machine M. VALERIE mad in mind the
fact that a rider in a race exerrs q great
amount of power that is never used.
While in motion the arms and back of the
rider are brought in force but as the power
is transmitted through the pedals, only a
small fraction of this energy Is used.
Carrying out his own ideas he has con-
structed the tandem herewith reproduced:
While the man in front does the steering
and pedaling, the man in the rear does his
share of the pedaling and a big amount OF
pushing. He is unable to lean forward, but
has to sit nearly erect, and instead of
catching hold of a handle bar. grasps two
levers. which work forward and backward
with the revolution of the sprocket wheel.
The levers are trussed to stand heavy
strain, while the frame of the machine is
specially constructed to stand the extra
pressure. The weight of the machine is,
however, considerably increased by the ap-
pliance.
