Features in 1904:
"MOTOR--Hedstrom 1 3/4 horse power."
"GASOLENE CAPACITY--
The regular tank holds a shade less than one gallon, and under ordinary conditions will drive the machine from 75 to 85 miles.."
"BATTERIES--
The battery is the best brains can produce. It is of the dry three-cell pattern, and will drive machine from 800 to 2500 miles, according to the care it receives.. "
BATTERY IGNITION--
"An option for 1908 will consist of a new type of battery case, which will hold three ordinary No. 6 cells. These cells can be readily connected to, but cannot be sealed as in the case of the regular Indian battery. Fair results will be obtained by the use of these cells, but the Indian type is recommended.?
FINISH--Royal blue enamel is our regular finish. Will furnish, however, on order bright vermillion or black. All bright parts handsomely nickeled.
If you enjoy historical information about the early days of motorcycles, this brochure will be an extremely valuable asset.
