Handlebar

Post by olaf.suess »

Hello,
a quick question. From when did Ariel have handlebars that had a diameter of 7/8 inch at the ends on the right and left and 1 inch in the middle. I always thought that was how it was installed on the WNG machines.
Best regards Olaf

The earlier W/NGs with the rubber mounts. Beautiful bit of craftsmanship. Nev

They were introduced in 1939 and lasted to the end of the girders, but not all machines used them.
