The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-09

Yesterday afternoon an automobile belonging to MT. Edgerton, the we'll known auto truckman of Myrtle Beach, was going out New Haven turnpike and when some two miles out of town this machine was struck by @ large touring car going in the opposite direction. This collision was hard enough to take off the two wheels on the side that was struck and to turn the machine crosswise on the street in which position it run into later by a motorcycle that was sailing along In the direction of the car wbtch run into Mir. Edger- toms car. No one in Edgerton's car was much injured beyond the shak- ing up and fright of the collision but the man on the motorcycle was verely cut and bruised by being thrown to the pavement from the force of the collision between his machine and the damaged auto. pr. Healy was called and after giving such treatment as was needed the man was removed in the police car to the Milford Inn where he received fur ther attention from Dr. Healy and the management of this hotel. The big car which Is said to have been fully responsible for all this accident and injury did not stop at all and no one has been found by the police who can give the numbers on the car and beyond the fact that 1t was large touring car painted blue the po- lice having nothing whatever to work on in their endeavor to bring the driver to settle for the damage done.
 Late Saturday night the police of Stratford were called on to arrest party of young men who were said to have stolen an automobile. These officials secured one young man and after an interesting interview they learned from him that six more were involved in the theft and that they were at the shore in Milford. The case was then taken to this town where with the assistance of the of ficer on duty at Myrtle Beach six young men were placed under arrest and taken back to Stratford. The names given by these men were: J. Van Nest of Rochester, N. Y, Joe Warburton, 526 West 173d Street, New York city, J. J. Wilson, 232 West 39th Street, Charles Kreller, 26O West 52nd Street and Joe Maylan 245 West 45th Street, New York city, and Charles D. Peterson of 35 Knowl- ton street, Bridgeport and these ar rests were all that the local police made during the Fourth of July holi- day.

How the Bicycle Frame Developed
Many Experimental Stages Before the Sim
pie Diamond Frame Design Was
Finally Evolved 4
By w. r. FARwELL. Jr.

. AS the simple and efficient diamond
frame bicycle has remained practi-
cally unchanged in general appear
ance and design for twenty years, 1t
is probable that the younger riders
of this generation look upon the
machine as having been evolved di-
rectly IN its present form. But this
simplicity and efficiency was not
achieved in a day. It was the out
come of over ten years of expert
ment and practical experience.
The old Ordinary" with its large
front driving wheel, straight front
forks and curved backbone, was a
model of simplicity of construction,
but with the introduction of the low
chain-driven Safety. with its conse-
quent greater completely of frame,
there was much more scope for yari-
alton of design. Accordingly, the
leading makers began the develop
ment of the new type, but as each
maker differed as to the proper form
of frame and size of wheels to adopt,
the greatest possible variety of ma
chimes was brought out, many of
them utterly wanting in scientific de-
sign.
Although James K. Starley Gre
ated the first successful rear-driving
Safety in 1884, due credit should be
given to H. J. Lawson, prolific in
ventor in the early days of the Brit
ish bicycle trade, who in 1879 built
a machine very similar to St2rley's
first Rover, but he was before his
time and was laughed at by the rest
of the trade
However, the success of the Rover
started the safety first movement
in earnest, and in 1885 the Humber,
Antelope, Pioneer and several other
safeties made their appearance.
These machines differed from the
Rover in frame design and in having
very small front wheels, giving pc
culiar and awkward steering. The
Rover frame of 1885 showed the be-
ginning of the diamond frame idea;
this was known as the open or I'M
braced frame.
The prevailing model of 1887 con-
sisted of simple crossframe as IL
Illustrated. Small stay rods varions-
ly placed were IN general use on this
type of frame A later variation
was the semi-diamond, a combina-
ton of the cross and diamond frame
as shown in the Rover of 1888.
American makers did not take up
The development of the Safety until
1887, when the Victor with its
famous spring fork was produced.
This machine was of the cross
frame variety, but was very soon re-
placed by the curved tube, open
diamond type. Ali early makers, it
seems, were very partial to curves.
The diamond frame now began to
assume definite form. AS first nearly
true diamond in shape, the upper
and lower tubes came nearly to-
gather at the head, and there was no

INTEREST KEEN
IN FIRST BAPTIST
REVIVAL MEETING

The auditorium of the First Baptist
church was again filled last night
showing the sustained interest in ene
protracted series of meetings being
held there. The pastor, Rev. ]. A.
Ansley, preached on the subject
What if Christ Should Come to Pen,
sacoIa?" and held the attention of his
hearers throughout the sermon.
Special music was rendered by Mr..
and Mrs. Butler, with Miss Miller
as pianist A feature OF the musical
program was a song in negro dia-
lect.
AT the close OF the regular service,
a baptismal service was held, one
candidate being received into the
church.
It is the custom of Mr.. Butler, when
he remains in any city for consio-
cradle length Of time, to give a spe-
ciaI entertainment before leaving.
This entertainment does not neces-
sarily consist altogether Of religious
songs, but is made up OF character
songs, dialect and stories. He Is
being prevailed upon to give such an
entertainment here and definite an
nouncement may be made within
few days.

inches in length, and gears much
lower, ranging from 81 to 90 inches.
The wheels were mostly 80 inches In
diameter. with N or n inch solid
tires, while the weight ranged from
40 to go pounds, though racing ma
chimes were scaled down to Is or
even IL pounds.
The riders of the Safety soon
found that there was considerable
vibration present In riding over even
fairly good roads. On the old high
Ordinary this vibration was not so
noticeable. as the large wheel not
only rolled more easily over the In
CAPABILITIES In the road but the nature
of its construction gave il q certain
amount of spring, which absorbed
much Of the road shock before It
reached the rider. But when he de-
scended to the low Safety ne found
that vibration became intentionally
noticeable. This led to the intro
duction. of numerous varieties of
spring frames, spring forks and even
spring wheels.
After 1890. when the pneumatic
tire. came into universal use, a gen.
took place. Lighter tubing and bet
ter methods of connecting the vari- !
Gus frame parts together came in. |
The crank hanger became an inte- /
grail part of the frame; heretofore il
had been separate part which
was bolted on to the frame so as to
swing or slide forward or back in
order to adjust the chain. The
Humber machine was probably the
first to come out with the long wheel
base, straight tube diamond frame
as we know it to-day.
A backward glance through the
advertising pages of trade papers of
1892 shows that there was still a
wide diversity in frame design,
though all were of the diamond type.
he Century Columbia had two par
allel top tubes running from the rear
axle with a bend at the seat post
to the head; the rest of the frame
was the regular short wheel-base
diamond. The Victor frame was a
double diamond composed of small
tubes with the exception of the top
tube which was single, or larger d.
ameter. The front sprocket was in
side of the double frame with out
side bearings, which was the best
feature of this machine 1t also re-
tanned the Victor spring fork The
Rambler had a compact diamond
spring frame with a small front
wheel. These were the leading
American machines of that period.
From 1893 onward the makers
settled down to the Humber type
diamond frame. which was very sim
liar TO the modern design except
that the top tube sloped upward to
a long head. American makers soon
altered this detail and by 1895 the
diamond frame may be said to have
reached its final form.
During the bicycle boom of the
middle COS the machine became
greatly improved and refined in
every detail. The frame was made
lighter, yet stronger, the strains and
stresses to which it was subjected
were determined by tests conducted
by engiQeers and scientists-nany
of the big makers maintained iabora-
tories for testing and improving
every part of the bicycie-and its
faults accordingly corrected@
