development Of the automobile the great
cycling years of the COS and the be-
ginning of this century saw gasoline
even scarcer than it Is today. Ration
books were as unknown as the modern
filling station, and motor fuel for the
sporty crowd experimenting with
powered bicycles was sold mostly at
hardware or drug stores-frequently in
open containers. It was a period when
thousands Of spectators were thrilled by
weekly single and multiple seated meets
at nationally famous bicycle tracks, in
Guiding Manhattan Beach, New York;
the Charles River Track, Cambridge,
Mass; the Willow Grove Track. Phila-
delpnia, and other speedways in every
city Of any Importance.
Trade names OF the most popular
bicycle models were as famous and
familiar to the public then as the names
OF outstanding automobiles TODAY. Each
one had Its own fine slogan to fire the
imagination: The Sterling, Built Like a

At the peak Of public interest in
pedallng for pleasure, for displaying
ones prowess, or just for transporta-
ton purposes, clothing dealers COM
planned they could sell little but cycling
suits. Families economical rigidly in
all other matters for the sake of pur-
chasing bicycles, and fine custom built,

for as much as 5000 each, and multiple
seated machines for as high as $1,000.
Under the circumstances 1t was
scoop and great triumph when Charles
Metz. president OF the Waltham Manu-
featuring Co., makers of the Orient
models, produced the indispensable
Oriten, though 1t was primarily q pro-
motion venture to advertise the superior
qualities OF the company's single and
tandem wheels. Mr.. Metz, later to be-
come an automobile manufacturer, was
the designer as well as the builder Of
the vehicle.

During this elementary training the
candidate has four Jumps from = tower
about 120 feet high. The speed of his
descent is controlled by wire attached
to his harness These trials give the
soldier some OF the feeling of jumping
from an aircraft and also enable officers
and instructors to test his nerve and
reactions.
After this the paratrooper gets q
chance to jump with q parachute. He
jumps twice from captive balloon with
three other candidates and an instructor.
Another instructor on the ground directs
the candidates via loud speaker.
Once this hurdle is passed, the candi-

Courtesy of the Edison Institute.
For several years Mr. Noyes refused Of
fers to purchase the Oriten made by rep
resentatives Of Mr.. Ford, but later sent
the vehicle to the Edison Institute as
gift Once, before he did so, he loaned
it to some students at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology for trial
run. This was extremely brief, how
ever, and ended in spill that resulted
in some broken bones.
The multiple-seated bicycles were used
not only in races with similar machines,
but also in pacing single riders attempt-
ing to establish speed records. There
was danger in the latter practice, how
ever, and number of fatalities among
well-known riders before simple safety
device was introduced.
The man being paced would attempt
to ride In the slight vacuum and de-
creased wind resistance Immediately be-
hind the pacing machine. A number of
riders were killed, however, when their
front wheels ran into the rear wheels Of
the pacing machines, which would be
turning In the opposite direction at the
point Of contact. To prevent this buf-
fer bar with horizontal wooden roller
was introduced and attached to the rear
of PAGER and then if a paced speeder
got too close to the first machine his
front wheel would simply spin the buf-
fer roller harmlessly.
Some remarkable speeds were at
tanned by riders utilizing no power but
that Of their own muscles. Charles M.
c'Mile-a-Minute') Murphy in August,
1897, rode one mile and 10 feet in min
ute and 4-5ths Of second while paced by
sextette. In 1899 he made his famous
sprint Of one mile in 81 and 4-5ths Sec
onds riding on special platform laid
between the tracks while pedaling be-
hind Long Island Railroad train with
wide wooden shield designed to help
increase the vacuum Immediately behind
1t.
On another occasion q sextette raced
and defeated the Empire State Express
at approximately SO miles an hour on
stretch Of highway paralleling the
tracks.
Amateur speeders were known as
"scorchers." of course, and arrests and
imprisonment for exceeding IL miles an
hour-and soaring horses-were FREE

grow progressively more fearful but won't
say anything about 1t. There are signs,
however, and usually we can weed these
fellows out. Every one understands, and
we emphasize 1t whenever we can, that
it is not question of bravery but one of
psychology. One hesitant jumper can
ruin an operation. We can't afford to
take chances"
On the ground the paratrooper is
taught elementary demolition. The de-
struction of the radio location station at
Bruneval was carried out by paratroops
and almost every trooper knows some-
thing about the demolition OF pill boxes,
gun emplacements and machine gun
positions In the invasion, when demo-
lition problems will be vastly more intri-
cate, 1t is probable that regular engineers
or "sappers" will he dropped.
Learning Demolition.
Parachute control, the first step toward
the jump, is taught on an ordinary
trapeze. There the pupil learns to bal
ance himself while swinging. When he
is accustomed to that, he swings of
2Ofoot platform, letting go at the bottom
of the swing.
Later he dons the harness and learns
to turn his body in the air 50 he'll know
how to land with his back to the wind.

Persons who have grown up since the

large bicycle meets throughout the
country. Local dealers would charter
it for few days to stimulate sales by
displaying it through their community,
and bicycle club members, posed in
grandeur and bursting with pride, would
have themselves photographed on 1t In
groups of 10.
AS recalled recently by John c. Wetter-
green of Greenland, N. H., the first man
to steer it successfully, the Oriten was
completed at Waltham the night before
big race at the Charles River track
''Mr. Metz and his crew worked all
through the night" Mr.. Wettergreen
relates, "and the machine was brought
to Cambridge on a furniture wagon
there were no automobiles then.
"Mr. Metz tried for an hour or two to
get 1t in motion on the track, and when
I volunteered to steer it he gladly ac-
cepted my offer. On the second attempt
we got it rolling. The wheelbase was so
long there was a queer wind In the
frame until the team got the hang of it."
Twenty-three and three-quarters feet
long overall. the wheelbase of the Oriten
was so great, according to Mr.. Wetter-
green, that on third-of-a-mile track
the steering wheel had to follow path
five or six feet from the inside rail to
keep the rear wheel from rolling onto
the grass. The machine weighed 3O5
pounds. had carrying capacity of $500
pounds, and was geared to 12O inches
with its largest sprocket 16 inches in
diameter.
Cycling at 40 Miles Per Hour.
The most important riders were the
No. man, who had strenuous job
doing all the steering-all the other ham
dlebars were stationery-and the No. 10
man, something Of q bo'sun, instructor
and chief engineer for the rest Of the
crew. Ordinarily the Oriten would be
pedaled at about 40 miles an hour, but
reached much higher speeds during
spurts.
Stored and forgotten, like the spinning
wheel or the gramaphone. the Oriten was
discovered hanging from the rafters In
1925 when the late Harry K. Noyes,
founder Of the Noyes Buick Co., New
England distributors of Buick automo-
biles. purchased the former bicycle plant
Of the Waltham Manufacturing Co. for
storage warehouse.
