McCandless rear suspension on Sq4 1947 Motor Cycling

Post by paul.jameson »

Has anyone got a copy of Motor Cycling for Aug 21st 1947 to hand? On pages 314-5 it has an article entitled "Spring Song" Launch of McCandless rear suspension on 1000 Square Four.
I have a member visiting tomorrow who has such a Square Four and wants to convert it back to rigid. It would be good to know if his bike is the one in the article. I have only been made aware of the existence of an article this afternoon, hence the short notice.
