Foreword.
These
248
c.c.
O.H.V. models incorporate the
latest advances in modern motor cycle practice. The
short-stroke,
70
mm. bore X
64
· 5 mm. stroke engine is
of
unit construction, the four-speed foot-operated gear-
box and oil tank being integral with the crankcase.
It
has dry sump lubrication, completely enclosed, and
lubricated valve gear and a very rigid one-piece, high
strength cast iron crankshaft. The complete engine and
gearbox, except for the crankshaft and connecting rod,
can be dismantled without removal from the frame.
An
A.C. generator enclosed within the off-side crankcase
cover supplies current for lights and ignition coil. The
ignition switch, coil and battery are grouped together in
one box which also has compartments for
an
air filter
and tools. Pivoted fork rear suspension and telescopic
front forks provide a high degree
of
comfort and
road
holding. The headlamp, speedometer, ammeter
and
lighting switch are built into the "Casquette" which
shrouds the top
of
the front forks.
Other items are full-width aluminium-alloy quickly
detachable rear hub on the two "Crusader" machines,
incorporating the Royal Enfield cush drive, full-width
aluminium-alloy front hub,
3·25" X
17"
tyres and fully
enclosed rear chain.
Legshields and pannier equipment, specially de-
signed to
fit this machine, are available as extras.
