Replacing the usual engine sprockets, beveled gears were installed to drive a central driveshaft on the car. - Other coverage includes several races such as the Bay Meadows National, the Torrey Pines Road Race, the Dry Lake Speed Trials, the Dodge City 200-mile Race, and the Isle of Man Senior TT Races. - In addition, there is a Road Test of the Triumph Thunderbird, and information on the latest Central European Motorcycles (BMW / NSU / Zundapp / DKW / Velocette) -- Picture 4 is a lovely young model posing with the Triumph Thunderbird.
