1966 Cycle World Article: Triumph History

Founded in 1885 in London, the early history of the Triumph Company is very nearly lost in the mists of time. The founder of the company was, surprisingly, not an Englishman, but rather a German by the name of Siegfried Bettmann... 1966 Triumph Motorcycle History 5-Page Article available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1962 Dogs on Motorcycles to Deter Criminals





Small 1-Paragraph article with photo.

Photo caption: Shown with patrolman and his new canine partner are Superintendent Maloney and Director Dillon.



Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Police are getting ready to unleash a new weapon, the motorcycle dog against burglars, muggers and purse snatchers. Ten new motorcycles, four of them equipped with K-9 carriers have been assigned to beat patrolmen who formerly worked on foot. The officers will cruise through residential districts where foot patrols are ineffective. The motorcycles are superior to patrol cars because they can slip into narrow alleys or cut through wooded areas...

...Motorcycle patrolmen will cruise at 15 miles an hour or less, jumping from the cycles or unleashing the dogs when necessary.
