At the present day the trend of motor cycle engine
design is becoming fairly clearly marked. It is not so
much the obvious alterations—such as the general
substitution of aluminium for cast iron as a piston
material—that are significant; but there is a growing
tendency to multiply engine types and sizes to suit the
various conditions of use, rather than to design one
engine type to meet several sets of conditions. This
tendency, which is well reflected in the J.A.P. range of
engines, is of course right, as it is the road to greater
Efficiency ; and too much stress can hardly be laid on the
necessity of selecting an engine of correct type for the
particular work which it must perform, A standard
engine, intended for ordinary tourimg, cannot be tuned
to give the same results as a sports engine; while
conversely the sports or racing units should be treated
with the care due to such types.
].A.P. engines, then, are now supplied in various
well graded sizes, and in three distinct ranges.—
Standard, Sports, and Racing models. The Sports
types give more power than the Standard engines,
and are suitable for both touring and local com-
petitions. The engines in the Racing range,
however, should be used only for Racing; and are
designed to perform well without special’ tuning in
important events at Brooklands and elsewhere. The
very fullest information about any particular model
can always be obtained on application, but the
descriptions in this book will convey a clear
impression of the distinctions between types referred
to earlier.
