1902 MODEL "New Departure Coaster", P.&F.Corbin. New Britain Conn.U.S.A.
1902 MODEL "New Departure Coaster", P.&F.Corbin. New Britain Conn.U.S.A.
NOTE: Most likely one year only brake arm.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON TIMELINE: Note the name on the coaster brake arm & go back to post #136. Note the literature says Corbin's Duplex but below in the article it refers to it as the New Departure Coaster & Brake. I need to find a 1902 ad to confirm but fairly comfortable in this assessment. This brake arm says New Departure Coaster and not New Departure Duplex. The 1902 Model was called the New Departure Coaster, they had only used the name Duplex in ads I believe at this point. These are the only pics I have found of the 1902 New Departure Coaster by P.&F. Corbin. Pics from an old Copake auction.

1903 MODEL "New Departure Duplex", P.&F.Corbin. New Britain Conn.U.S.A.
NOTE: Most likely one year only brake arm as P.&F. Corbin Co. became The Corbin Screw Corporation on May 2nd, 1903 but possibly used in 1904 on the 1904 Model, more research required.
