Wow!
Is that really a leather belt-drive?
Also, is this the same Douglas which later became McDonnell-Douglas,
the aerospace engineering firm?
Correction: I see that it's not likely the same Douglas which was merged
with McDonnell. Then again, who am I to know?

A veritable motor-bicycle! The funny thing is that the new electric powered-assisted bikes are really quite similar.

Thanks guys. The belt is a leather link belt. It allowed you to shorten or lengthen it to adjust the tension. Also if a section wore out you didn't need to replace the whole thing. Not related to the Douglas of McDonald-Douglas.

Douglas were related to Westinghouse as a company and after giving up m/c building assembled Italian scooters (Vespas I think) under licence for a good few years |
