Motorcycle manufacturer Phelon and Moore had recently introduced a system to allow their engine to be run on paraffin. The arrangement is brought about by making an extra division in the tank so that the main part is used for paraffin and a smaller portion is retained for petrol, that is used for starting the engine. As soon as the engine is properly warmed up the paraffin tap is opened and the petrol tap closed.
If Motorcyclists thought that Petrol was expensive in July 1914, They were in for a big shock.
