I WILLIAM MERRELL COLLIVER of 2 The Avenue, Linnæus
Anlaby Road, Hull in the County of York, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:
--
The object of my invention is to increase the speed of cycles, and at the same
time not require any more driving power.
I enlarge the chain, wheel and place it inside of the frame, the back chain wheel
is also enlarged proportionately, or larger.
The bottom part of the framework is made double and square, (instead of single
as heretofore); the stays to the seat pillar are made double, as also is the bottom
front stay,
this is applicable to the diamond framed machine.
On cross framed machines, a double frame is required with the enlarged wheels.
For other machines the frames are altered so that the chain wheels are inside
the frame and have sufficient room.
