been found to vary [from..s to per cent,
depending upon the condition of the
chain, its method of construction, and
details of design. The highest friction
he found was 10 per cent for an old chain
which did not fit the sprocket properly.
The best kind of bevel or spiral gears
showed about three times the friction of
the spur gears, and since two pairs must
be used on each bicycle, about four times
as much friction as the ordinary chain
would be developed, and six to eight
times the friction of the very best chains.
In conclusion Prof. Carpenter says !:
. "There is another serious objection to
the use of gears, arising from the fact
that the least change in position of the
point of contact Of the gear from it's
normal will cause a great increase in
friction and in loss Of power over that
stated in the preceding discussion. This
indicates that the gearing is essentially
untitled for a frame which must from the
very nature of its use possess great elias

ITCHY and fexibility. The chainless
wheel also developed one extremely bad
feature, and as this is inherent in all
methods of gearing it may perhaps be
worth mentioning. With all the chain
wheels the percentage of friction or loss
of power remained essentially constant at
all speeds, but with a geared or chainless
wheel the percentage of friction increased
as the speed diminished. This would
make the chainless wheel very obiection-
able for clim bling hills, since at that time
the speed must be slow and all the power
of the rider is needed to propel the wheel
forward -
