shown, Figure
2-15,
is
nearest
the
center and
is
the slowest speed, or First. The second
position shown, Figure
2-16,
produces
a
higher speed, or Second, and the
third
position,
Figure
2-17,
near the rim of the disc produces the highest speed, or Third.
In
third
position,
the
Rider
will
travel
at
approximately
6
mph. It
is
also characteristic of
a
rotating disc to
transmit power in either direction, depending upon
which
side
of
the
disc
is
brought into con-
tact
with
the drive roller. The drive roller
is
shown, Figure
2-18,
in contact
with
the disc on
the opposite side of center. Note that the drive roller
is
quite close to the center for low-
',
drive roller
is
not in contact with
speed, safe backing.
In
neutral position, Figure

SECOND
POSITION

The
use
of
the
large aluminum driving disc and the rubber-tired drive roller offer an
ad-
vantage
in
that
power can be transmitted to the wheel and speeds changed without
the
use of
a
clutch. The drive roller
slides
smoothly across
the
face of
the
turning disc, making it
easy
to
start,
change speeds, or go into reverse without clutching. The Rider does, however,
provide
a
clutch to prevent engine choking out during sudden stops
when
it
is
not possible
to
shift
the
speed selector, and when parking the machine and shifting into gear when the
engine
is
not running. Depressing
the
clutch lifts
the
drive roller from contact
with
the
disc
and prevents damage to the drive roller
as
it
passes across
the
motionless driving
disc.
