IMPROVEMENTS IN THE 1913 INDIAN
The outstanding feature of the
19U INDIAN Is the CRADLE
SPRINJO FHUME, fitted to all
models. This is the most revolu
tionary and epoch-making depar
ture from established syp'ems of
motorcycle spring devices. Noth
ing like It has ever before been
attempted. Eighteen months of
severe test and experimentation oy
our engineering aepartment was
devoted to the perfecting of this
new device.
The CRADLE SPRING FRAME
Is. briefly, the application to the
rear or the machine of the spring
principle which has proved so
successful during the past three
years In connection with tne rront
fork.
Extending back horizontally
from the frame-Joint cluster Delow
the saddle, flanking the rear mud
guard, are two seven-leaf Chrome
'a n,il! a n steel springs. The "C"
shaped curls at" the rear end of
these springs are connected by
stays to bell-cranks on whlrh the
rear axle Is hung. The forward
end of the rear fork has a hlnse
Joint, which enables the wheel to
