I hope that you, or some reader, may be able to assist me. My parents were both keen riders and were dispatch riders during the War. My father also used to ride at Brands Hatch. When my parents migrated to Australia in 1949, they bought very little with them, other than a dismantled Ariel motorbike, which put in good service for many years.

In the copy I am enquiring about, my mother and a small group of colleagues were photographed with an accompanying article. Unfortunately the ravages of time have made it almost undecipherable. I wonder if there is any possibility anyone would have access to a copy of 'Motor Cycle' 5th March 1942 article, 'Produced Efficiency' page 329. My mother is riding the bike ENH 495. I would be most appreciative if anyone could tell me how I could locate and/or obtain a copy of this article.

From articles I have read the original barrels on the Domi Racer were in fact one fin less on the barrels (3mm) shorter then  the standard Norton Dominator barrel.  I would be very pleased  if someone could produce the original engine specs as I would like to build  a replica of this machine.

I'm looking for an advertisement for a motorcycle built by Kenzler-Waverley in 1911 called 'The Jefferson' or the 'P.E.M.'. They were located in Jefferson, WI.  I'm told there's a copy in a 1911 edition of Motorcycle Illustrated.

I'm trying to find a book for my father about his 1954 Ariel Square Four. It's by Roy Harper and is titled 'Ariel Square 4', with about 80 pages. As I'm in Texas the book is especially hard to find.

My Great Grandfather and his brother ran a Cycle \ Motor shop in Hull at the turn of the century called the Embro Cycle and Motor Company (Ellis Mansell Brothers), they manufactured a cycle called "The Embro" which was on occasion fitted with a "Minerva" motor . Mr Dick Ellis (great, great, uncle) won the BSA reliability trail some time before 1910 - he also won the bronze medal, and rode the Lands End to John O'groats and many other trials.
They were agents for Hazelwood, Sparkrite and others (including car
manufacturers) and were personal friends of William Morris, W. Morgan,
G.Armstrong etc. Among the events associated with "Embro" were the Staxton Hill Climb founded by Dick, The EMBRO CUP (Donated 1909) which I believe is still being ridden for (trials), the "Rosetta Bowl", and latterly The Dick Ellis Memorial Shield.
I am interested in any information about "The Embro" Cycle \ Autocycle, Dick Ellis, or the Embro Cycle and Motor Company.
