Rudge 4 valve 4 speed combo

Slightly blurry photo but what a cracking combination. It is a mid to late twenties Rudge four valve four speed with a lovely 'zeppelin' styled chair as was the fashion for sporting outfits of the period.

    1. I's a semi elliptical spring for the suspension.

    2. I suppose that must be what it is. But to my eye it looks almost as if it could complete a full circle.
