Hi All,
I've been working on some of the details of the Columbia 'Military Model' for a while now.
Below is a table for discussion (I'm sure I've made errors, or others here have better information) on the specification of the 'Military Model'. I'm happy to consider any changes that you suggest.
We also know that Westfield produced the design proposal to the QM request within a week, so this implies that a lot of the parts were 'off the shelf'. The column marked '1918 Models' is where I have seen Westfield produced bicycles with similar or the same parts or designs in the 1917 produced cataloge, so contemporary with the 'Military Model' proposal.
Best Regards,
Adrian
