  The makers argue that a bicycle builder should make motor carriages in the same factory, and describe the Warwick Automobile after a year's experiment: steel tubing running gear with a steering sprocket-and-chain device, a hand-lever starter, a two-speed transmission with clutches and reverse, a silent muffler, a stanhope body with the driver on the left, and a 3½ or 5 horse power engine.

  Lists eight advantages of the Warwick carriage over rival gasoline carriages, claiming no vibration, a noiseless muffler, a starter worked from the seat, a safe steering device, strength without unnecessary weight, ease of learning, compactness and beauty of finish.
