THREE SPEED INDIAN
 DEMONSTRATED HERE
Nineteen Fifteen Model Approaches Automobile in Flexibiiity and
 Ease of Control

Charlie Gardiner of the Motor cycle shop. went scooting about town yesterday on the first 1915 three speed Indian. MT Gardiner was kept pretty busy giving demonstra tions of how she could get away and telling the many curious ones about the innovations.
 The one model received to date Goes not include the electric lights and generator. which will be added to the machines that come out after the first of the year, but in all other respects. it approaches the automo- bile so closely that the difference is merely in the number of wheels ard cylinders The Indian engineers have succeeded in putting the latest ideas into their 1915 construction, without making the machine bulky-which is the end toward which motorbike en- cineers are always striving. The three speed model is not a pound heavier than the tWo-speed-a f}ct very much in it's favor.
 The three-speed gearbox is located under the frame, right back of the engine and occupies no more space than the two-speed box. It is geared ten to one in low, which enables 1t to pull up any grade. through any sand or mud. and to start with q heavily lcaded side car. An automobile style clutch control is another innovation, and the new Indian kick starter comes as one of the valuable feat Ii:es
