Adamson Car
The Adamson was an English car manufactured
in Enfield,
Middlesex, from 1912 to 1925. It was designed by Reginald Barton
Adamson at the premises of the family haulage contract business.
The first car of 1912 was a small two seater bullnosed
cyclecar and had a 1,099 cc twin
cylinder or 1,074 cc four cylinder engine made by Alpha of
Coventry driving the rear wheels via a three speed and reverse
gearbox and a countershaft from which two V-belts went to the
rear wheels. The engine could be started from the driving seat
using a mechanical linkage. The channel section steel chassis
was placed under the axles with suspension by semi-elliptic leaf
springs. This arrangement allowed the car to have a low,
sporting appearance. In 1914 the option of a larger four
cylinder version was added. A new model was announced in 1916
with 1330cc four cylinder engine but few if any reached the
public before car production ceased later that year.
