Complete electrification of tbe motorcycle Is successfully aonom pllsoed for tbe first time In the 1914 Indian models, which include an electric starter, eleotrio lights, elec trie signal and rear drive speedometer, as tli" lesdlng feature amoog 38 betterments Incorporated In this fam ous mske for tbe coming sesson. In addition to being tbe pioneer ex ponent of tbe electrically equipped motorcycle tbe Indian Is alto tbe first lo entry as stnudsrd equipment mich a complete assortment of the very latest accessories. By thea two tremendous forward steps the Indian maintains easily Its pride nf place tlm long recognized fashion arbiter .f the industry. The Indian Electric Starter. In the development of a successful electric stnrter for arduous motorcycle -j mi the I ml inn engineers equalled their uii.it triumph of 101.1 tbe ('nolle Spring films. Tbe Inillnn electric starter i a rowerful multipo lar type motor generator, (mall, neat and compact. It Is mounted on the left side of the engine and alwaya connected wltn it. Therefore, ahould the rider stall tbe engine in t rattle or in a arousing it can Instantly he re started by throwing a swltob whlob iiriogs the stsrter Into action. Another decided advantage of the Indian electric starter Is its bigb operating speed, spinning the engine at 500 r. p. in . so that the latter begins firing very quickly after crank ing commences and effecting a saving In battery current. As soon as the englnn begins running the stnrter automatical! becomes a generator and renewa the envegv taken from the lotteries for starting, lighting signal ing and ignition Tbe hattery equip ment consists of two tats of specially constructed blgh capacity units, lo joi which might be oaneed by too rapid charging or over charging is prevented by a magnetic current regu lator placed in the feed line. Arr automntin cut nut prevents the bat teries discharging through tbe starter. Leakage of battery solution is pre vented by special design vents, tbe construction of which is patented. Tbe Indian 1014 line will consist of ssvsn solo models, aside car and a quick delivery van. All machines will be chain driven and six models will mount twin engines of seven horse power. As 00 per cent of tbe Indian output of 35.000 maoblnea In 1013 was composed of twins. It isnnticipnt ed hy tbe Heudee Alsmifnct;iring com panv thst no less than 08 per ceut of the tremendous output of (10,000 In d inns for 1014 will be required to meet tin. overwhelming populsr de iiiimil for twin models. Befitting its nsme, tbe 1014 Indian will, as usual. In finished in red only. Other 1914 Improvementa Other features of the new modele are: strengthened frames and forks with drop lorged flttinga throughout, longer wheel base, more secure engine tautening, new cam deslgo. giving Increase In power, heavier motor sbafta aud inlet valve rocker arm mechanism, new trussed handlebar with irreveralbe binder poet, heavier driving members of two speed gear and Improved change gear control, larger tires, new padded ssddles. new obannel ateel rear stand, new luggage carrier, new metal tool box with large capacity and spring look. Alwaya foremost In the rendering of prompt snd efficient mechanical service to Indian owners, tbe Indian organ i-ii I inn hits perfected liana whereby Indian users exclusively1, wherever tbey msy be located, wilr enjoy overnight service tbe oomlng season Seven American brannhss and 2.500 dealers will enable tbe Indian, mountad motorcyclist la 1014 to commsnd '24 hour service, the quick est and most cnmplste ever offered tbe legioos of motorcyledom .
