The general comments from the Judges of the Six Day
Trial was issued. And they obviously did not want to upset anybody:
“With very few exceptions indeed, machines could be started
quickly and easily, a great advance on previous years. Practically no marks were
lost by reason of machines not being ready "to start to time each morning.
The judges are of the opinion that the showing made by every machine to finish
was distinctly good, the cycle cars put up a fine performance, and particular
credit is due to the Calthorpe and J.B.S. machines. In the motor cycles, the P.
and M., Sunbeam, Scott, Bat, Douglas, and Blackburne were extremely good, whilst
the performance of the O.K. and Baby Clyno motor cycles is deserving of very special
mention. Of the sidecar machines the Chater-Lea, Matchless, and Clyno were
almost equally deserving of credit. The latter' make was perhaps the neatest in
lay-out and strongest weight for weight, but its mechanism was less accessible.”
