A. E. J. Steele on a Simpson and Strickland tricycle in 11 m. 225 s. The winner in 1901 was C. Jarrott, on a 234-h.-p. De Dion tricycle, his time being 10 m. 1045 s. A ten-miles handicap for the 'Automotor' cup was secured in 1900 by E. Buck, who won in 14 m. 225 s. Jarrott was the winner in 1901, his time being 14 m. 4745 s. on the 8-h.p. de Dion. A one-mile handicap for motor bicycles, for a cup offered by Mr. Campbell Muir, was won in 1901 by J. Leonard on a 112-h.-p. Werner, in 1 m. 5315 s.
In the quarterly 100 miles competitions initiated in November 1 899, the following cars have made the journey without a stop:—3-h.-p. Benz, 5-h.-p. Daimler, 16-h.-p. Milnes, and 6-h.-p. Simms. A 214-h.-p. Beeston tricycle also made a non-stop run. Trials on which but insignificant stops were recorded were also made by the Motor Manufacturing Iveagh phaeton, 8-h.-p. Napier-Panhard, 6-h.-p. Peugeot, 6-h.-p. Darracq, 5-h.-p. Siréne, 412-h.-p. De Dion, 6-h.-p. Gladiator, and 14-h.-p. Gobron-Brillié.
Lastly, mention must not be omitted of the interesting brake trials at Welbeck Park in January 1902, with the object of providing trustworthy data for the instruction of the Local Government Board, whose chief engineering inspector was present. After systematic experiments, officially timed and measured, the following were found to be the distances within which cars could be brought to a standstill:
From 11 to 14 miles per hour in 145 time the car's length;
From 15 to 17 miles per hour in twice the car's length;
From 18 to 20 miles per hour in 234 times the car's length;
From 20 to 24 miles per hour in 312 times the car's length.
