This is the original Merkel Motorwheel which does not have any provisions for a clutch at all . The origninal address of Joseph Merkel in Flushing is evident .
This is an announcement from Hendee that the Merkels were back ! Note that now she's sporting a brand new clutch and cover , and is claiming Springfield as home .
Thats a lot of money for a bicycle !
