Hello all,

Can some one tell me what Taylor Rockers are? I came across the Harry Beanham webpage and it has a picture of an ABC 400c with "Taylor Rockers". But no details of what they are. Searching for Taylor Rocker only finds American heavy metal bands....

They seem to enclose the push-rods and the rockers, so I assume they are to protect / lubricate the rockers.

It seems he only used his machine for touring, so where they an after market option?

Any details would be most interesting,

Many thanks,

Nicholas Hill.

The rockers on the ABC at Brooklands I believe are Talyor Young. I enclose a couple of pictures. We made up some rocker tubes, but they are so fiddly to fit we do not tend to use them. The rockers are oil mist lubricated and run on roller bearings; however the 3 point attachment is rather flimsy.
regards
Ian
