ADVANTAGES OF A CIIAINLESS WHEEL
Il do not agree with the generally accepted idea
that the introduction OF the chalnlsss wheel VIII

not to change the weight 10 any particular extent.
II Is pretty certain that the wheels Will not be any
lighter than they Al present, and for GeneraI
road use would prefer a wheel Weighing. say about
twenty-four pounds. Another advantage OF the ne"
wheel will be that Is going bc clean. II VIII do
away with the dirty sprocket-wheel and the chalh'
which picks up dust ~ every revolution. II VIII
also do away with that back lash the little play
OF the links which increases as the chain wears
and results IN loss Of power.
