LITERATURE & MEMOROBILIA
Please
be patient while the various pictures and documents down-load.
During
the Edwardian era, Norton machines were consistently winning many speed trials
and hill climbs. When James Lansdowne Norton was asked on how he managed to
obtain such power and results, the cagey engineer would reply:
"THE
SPEED IS THE DIFFERENCE AND THE DIFFERENCE IS THE SPEED!".
He
would never give details of his design to the press!!
