MOTOR BOB

A motor bob, capable of attaining a speed of forty miles an hour, has been constructed by A.P. Hamilton and George R. Ross. The sled is nearly nine feet in length and the runners are of the regulation width, so that it is not necessary to break a separate track in the road when the sled is in use.

This novel sled gets its power from a motorcycle and is so constructed that it gives the appearance of an automobile. The body is designed along the lines of a racing car. The seat, which is upholstered, is capable of accommodating two passengers and there is a space in the rear large enough to hold a large trunk or other luggage.
