This document provides instructions and plans for building a replica of the 1920 Briggs & Stratton Cycle Car. It includes a foreword describing the original vehicle's simple design with a motor wheel power source and crude braking system. The summary then describes how the replica was designed with a more conventional engine mounted on a wooden chassis and driving one rear wheel. Instructions are provided for building the various wooden and metal parts to complete the replica car in a simple manner achievable by beginner builders without advanced tools like welding equipment.

The Stirling engine is noted for its high efficiency compared to steam engines, quiet operation, and the ease with which it can use almost any heat source.This engine is currently exciting interest as the core component of micro combined heat and power (CHP) units, in which it is more efficient and safer than a comparable steam engine.

Woodworking: The Essentila "all Purpose" workbenchYadeaHerman
Building a workbench seems to be a rite of
passage for most serious woodworkers.
It has a maple split top (Roubo) which is what many
advanced woodworkers are using. It uses
inexpensive vises but is designed to accept the more
expensive hardware should you chose to upgrade.
The only "downsides" to this bench would be the
difficulty with adding a Benchcrafted tail vise (would
need a longer top) and it uses round dogs instead of
square dogs. Both of which are options many choose
to do differently so, it comes down to a personal
choice. You could probably also call out the fact that
it's only 6 feet long as well. Frankly, if we would have
made it longer, it would have accepted the
Benchcrafted tail vise nicely; but keeping it shorter
allowed us to order 12' lumber for the top and not
have any scrap.
All details including dimensions, parts list, tool list,
and a full cost breakdown are included.

Mousetrap car that performs well, is cheap to build, and easy to build. There is much to be learned from this presentation even if this car is not built.
I've had a Roubo-style workbench at the top of my
wish-list for quite a while after reading through
Christopher Schwarz's Workbenches: From Design &
Theory to Construction & Use. And, as luck would
have it, three years ago I helped a friend mill several
large trees that they had taken down and, in return,
he was nice enough to give me a bunch of really nice,
thick lumber to use for a workbench. So while that
finishes drying, I thought I'd build a bench from
common construction-grade lumber and experiment
with some design and construction ideas that I've
come across over the years.

After examining many, many workbench designs and almost settling on a German-style bench, I came across the 17th century French workbench of Andre Roubo. This design seemed to have surpassing versatility and an aesthetic superiority to every other design. In the construction process I learned of the trade-off between functionality, design, and ease of construction. I have made awkward-looking workbenches in one day which function perfectly. I've also made beautiful tables quickly and easily which are only useful as buffet tables. To make this workbench functional and attractive required that every surface be planed properly, and every corner be a perfect 90 degrees.

Cycle Car

2. Foreword
The original Cycle Car that inspired this
reproduction had the famous “Motor Wheel”
as its power source. This simple unit had only
three controls. The throttle was controlled
from a small quadrant placed on the steering
wheel, and the entire wheel assembly was
raised off the ground by means of a lever to
the right of the driver.
The brake was foot-operated and, merely,
consisted of a board rubbing on both rear
wheels. Crude to say the least! It probably
served the purpose, however, I decided to be a
little bit more professional with the braking
arrangement on this replica.
Designing and building a “Motor Wheel,” I
felt, would be beyond the intent of a simple
car to be built without welding or lathe work.
The engine is mounted on the chassis, which
extends to the rear about 10” more than the
original. Through a Comet torque converter,
it drives a jack shaft that, in turn, drives the
right rear wheel.
I was tempted to use a differential in
place of the jack shaft, but made myself keep
to the simplest approach. Besides, I had no
experience with driving a small car with only
one rear wheel. It had been done many times
by “sidewalk” car builders and was even used
in a little, production car — the King Midget.
I still wanted to have brakes on both rear
wheels and worked out, with the use of air-craft
pulleys and control cable, an equalizing
system, whereby the same braking force was
applied to both rear wheels.
I used 4” drums with an external band.
One thing I learned was, while sufficient for
parade driving, I got minimal braking. The 4”
drums on a 26” wheel was at a disadvantage.
At the speeds traveled, there’s sufficient stop-ping
power, but, don’t worry about dragging a
flat spot on your tires!
My final design used a foot throttle and
hand brake, both being the simplest
approach to the task at hand. I had to con-stantly
remind myself of the criteria I was
designing to meet. I wanted a simple car with
which an entry level builder would have no
problem.
The original Cycle Car was built on six 3
1/2” slats apparently of 1” thick oak or hicko-ry.
To keep construction in the affordable
class, I chose to build the chassis from a piece
of 2 x 8 foot 3/4” plywood. Dummy slats were
created by gluing six 3-1/2” strips of 1/4” ply-wood
to the top with equal distant spacing of
approximately 5/8”. This added a bit of
strength and created the slat look on the top
surface.
There’s no reason why, if you have access
to 1” thick oak or hickory, you couldn’t use
real slats like the original. Most of the con-trols
exit from top to bottom through areas in
the “spaces.” The only exception is the brake
equalizing assembly, which attaches in a slot
area. You would have to redesign a bit here.
To achieve the necessary “stiffness” in the
chassis, I had to add a 2x4 support to the bot-tom
side, left and right.
For those of you who would like to have a
real “motor wheel” power source, this run-ning
gear, with the chassis shortened a bit in
the rear, would still make a good platform to
attach your “wheel.”
I held off completing this set of plans until
the car had been driven in its intended pur-pose,
a parade. This was accomplished on the
4th of December ‘04.
Here’s the results: The steering is “go-kart”
quick with the 12” dia. steering wheel.
Once the driver is accustomed to it, no prob-lem.
All in all, the only thing I discovered
that I felt needed a revision was the flexibili-ty
of the wooden chassis, coupled with the
tremendous torque of the power train,
allowed the chain to jump a tooth or two
under extreme acceleration. The required re-educating
the throttle foot. Once the driver
was use to this, no problem. However, I have
added, in the drawings, addition supports to
stiffen up the area of the engine/power train.

3. Introduction
“Nothing is particularly hard
if you divide it into small jobs.”
— Henry Ford
“Before everything else,
getting ready is the secret of success.”
— Henry Ford
"Tattoo the above quotes on your brain" as
Ernest used to say. Better yet, paint them as
signs to hang in your shop where you can look
at them every time the going gets rough.
It was with this incentive that the manu-al
you're holding was done. With its nearly
200 different parts not even a simple cycle
car is necessarily easy. However, if
approached one part at a time, the job
becomes much easier.
Sometimes when you buy a set of plans for
a project such as this, all you get is a copy of
a magazine article or everything crowded
onto a few sheets of paper.
In this manual you will find a complete
drawing of each part — nothing is left for you
— no guess work! A lot of parts are simply a
piece of bar stock, angle or tubing cut to
length with one or more holes drilled in it.
This is not to imply that you can't go off
the beaten trail and modify or redesign to
your own desires. To do so is encouraged.
The idea that this horseless carriage could
be approached as a class project crossed our
mind. Since it utilizes several machine shop
operations, each student could be assigned a
few parts to do according to their ability and
skills. When completed, let the auto body
shop do the painting. Then drive in the home-coming
parade! The Industrial Arts Dept
wins, hands down!
The same could apply to friends or neigh-bors
who join together to build each a car
with different ones making all of certain
parts.
A few tools I consider a necessity (either
owning or having access to) and they are: a
cut-off saw, a drill press, a hand grinder, an
accurate square (combination & large carpen-ter's
square), a bottle of layout blue and the
means of accurately-scribing layout lines on
the stock. Always center punch all holes
before drilling.
When I began designing for this set of
plans, I followed the criteria of not using a
lathe or welder. I wanted to produce a simple
car that even a person with minimum work-shop
skills and equipment could build one.
Before you start making scrap iron, study
this manual and drawings. Obtain catalogs
from suppliers and if you have access to the
internet, look at and bookmark the suppliers
we have referenced.
Plan where you are going to work on your
car. Although desirable, a large shop isn't
necessary. Henry Ford utilized a coal shed for
3
4. his first horseless carriage, the Quadricycle.
And, while Henry said “plan ahead,” he even
had to knock out the existing door and add a
larger one just to get his car outside!
Visit your local steel supplier. Depending
on your location, you may have access to a
well-stocked supplier. If you live in a rural
area, look for a welding shop that might have
some scrap or be willing to order for you.
— What Tools Will You Need? —
Tools, while making any job easier, cannot
replace skill in the hands using them. The
list of tools that follows are what I consider
sufficient to build the “Red Bug.”
1. A good floor-standing drill press.
Includes a drill press vice and drill bit
set.
2. A quality table saw.
3. A good metal chop saw.
4. An electric hand drill (3/8)
5. A bellhangers drill bit (1/4)
6. A set of Forstner drills.
7. A hand jig saw.
8. A drum sander (either individual or
attachment for drill press.
9. A hand, belt sander is very useful.
10. A bench grinder or hand grinder for
smoothing metal parts.
11. A good tap and die set (both NC & NF)
12. A box of Band Aids!
— Start with the wooden parts —
It is only a suggestion that you start with
the wooden parts. The chassis is not unlike
the foundation when building a house. Since
most other components rely on it for align-ment,
care must be exercised when laying out
the various locations on the chassis.
Set the frame on a couple of saw horses.
Every time you enter your shop you will see
it and it will trigger your mind to the idea
that, "By golly I'm really building a car - from
scratch - by myself". "I wonder when the next
parade in town is." Also, since the chassis is
basically a 2 x 8 ft piece of 3/4 plywood, it
makes an excellent place to sit down and
make other small parts. Seeing you car take
shape is a thrill you'll never forget.
On the original Briggs & Stratton Cycle
Car, the chassis was constructed from six 3
1/2” wide boards of (I would guess) 1” thick
oak or hickory. If you have such available, go
ahead and substitute for the plywood I used.
I used a 2 x 8 sheet of 3/4 plywood and
added “phony” slats by gluing 3 1/2 wide
strips of 1/4 plywood to the top surface. I
found this arrangement to be a bit “flexible”
with a payload of 450 lbs. Therefore, a sup-port,
made from a 2x4, was added to each on
the underside.

6. The Making and Assembly Processes
Let’s Make Sawdust First
I would recommend that all the wooden
parts be sawed out at the same time. This
will reduce the large sheets of plywood into,
smaller, more manageable pieces. In some of
the next pages you will find rough, cutout
dimensions.
Rip all similar width pieces at the same
saw setting. Start with the widest and pro-ceed
to the smaller ones.
You might consider finishing the seat,
cushion bases and seat support first and set
them aside for final painting.
You will note how the axles are made by
gluing pieces of 3/4 inch plywood together to
get the desired thickness. The front axle is
straight forward gluing together of 3 identi-cal
pieces. Whether you cut the profile of the
front axle in the individual pieces or after
gluing, is up to you.
Note how the rear axle has a dado (1 x 1)
to hold the 1” square axle tube at assembly.
You can come close to this dado by sawing the
filler pieces as shown. However, because of
the varying thickness of purchased plywood,
you will most likely have to “fine tune” the
dado for a good fit to the steel tube. This fit
should be close enough to allow epoxying the
tube at final assembly. The tube must be
flush to top surface of axle after assembly.
The bearing support blocks are, also,
made by gluing three pieces of 3/4 inch ply-wood
together. It might be wise to glue the
blocks as one unit, slightly oversize and then
sawing them individually after gluing.
The foot rest is, likewise, made by gluing
together two pieces of 3/4 inch plywood.
The fun piece is the steering shaft support
which, because of its shape, I call the “dog
bone.” Like the front axle, you might want to
saw the 2 individual pieces before gluing
together. A good drum sander is very useful
in the finishing of this part. Save the drilling
until after the gluing is done.
While I didn’t specify any corner round-ing,
I personally used a hand router and a
1/4” round over bit to make a lot of edges
“look pretty.”
I, also, spared a lot of little detail on the
wood parts because I find most people with
any degree of a home workshop will usually
have sufficient woodworking skills to suffice.
I recommend that any finished wood part
be left without paint at this time. You should
completely finish, assemble and test drive
your car and only then disassemble and
paint.

A city version of the Cycle Car was made
later, using electric power for use in large
estates as personal transportation.
It was call the “Red Bug.” We named ours
Red Bug, likewise.

22. The Making of Metal Parts
— Now Let’s Make Some Iron Filings —
If you haven’t already, you might want to
cut the 1” square tube to required length and
finish the rear axle per drawing No. 015.
Be sure to align your chop saw so as to cut
as near to 90 degrees as possible. I never
trust the marks provided and prefer to use a
square to do this.
I recommend cutting all bar stock and
angle parts to the required length at one
time. Next, remove any burrs and sharp
edges with a hand file.
To layout the hole locations, you should
have a small bottle of layout blue. You need
only apply it to the approximate area where
the holes will be. Accurately locate the holes
with a good square and scale. Scribe lines
with a scriber and center punch before
drilling holes.
When all holes are drilled, using either a
bench grinder or hand grinder, form the
radius’ called out on the drawings. These are
not critical and in some cases are more for
appearance than anything else.
One of the more difficult parts will be the
two hub mounting flanges, Drawing No. 034.
Layout and scribe the hole locations with
your square and compass or use the card-board
tool described in Drawing No. 035.
Using the appropriate tap drill, drill and
then tap holes per drawing. If you have never
used a tap before, do two things — 1) Use a
cutting fluid to lubricate the tap while cut -
ting (I use WD-40) 2) Every couple or three
turns of the tap, stop and backup a turn to
break the chip and free the tap again.
Don’t force the tap, back up, and go again.
Nothing will make a grown man cry quicker
than breaking a tap flush with the work, usu-ally
on the last hole of a nearly completed
part! Make an effort to start the tap perpen-dicular
to the the part.
After completing drilling and tapping, all
that’s left to do is cutting the center hole. In
sticking with my criteria established at the
beginning, I did this without using a lathe. Of
course, if you have a lathe, by all means use
it!
I used a 1-5/8” dia. metal cutting hole saw,
cutting half way on one side and turning the
part over and finishing from the other side.
Since the hole could be a bit smaller, if you
have a 1-9/16” dia saw or want to use a fly
cutter, use it.
The only tapped holes remaining are on
the chain tightener anchor blocks and the
tubular nuts (use in the steering shaft sup-port
AKA “Dog Bone.”)
All the techniques of tapping used on the
previous parts, apply here, also.
While into tread cutting, you might as
well cut the threads on three parts made
from round CRS. From your tap and die set
chose the appropriate die and die stock (the
handle that holds the die) and, after cutting
the rods to length, cut the threads per draw-ings
No. 038 and 039.
The remaining metal work entails modify-ing
a purchased part, such as cross drilling
and pressing in a roll-pin, drill and tapping
or, in one case, cutting threads with a die.
One part, the brake activator guide, Part
No. 041 requires drilling and tapping plus
pressing in two bearings.
Other modifications are self-explanatory
as per the drawing.
Now is a good time to examine all your
parts by comparing them to the drawing.
Remove any burrs found, de-grease and set
aside for the initial assembly process.
Only after making sure that parts fit and
function as intended, should they be de-greased,
primed and painted with the finish
of your choice.

49. The Sub-Assembly Process
You will find that there are some parts
that can best be assembled as a sub-assembly
and then, be attached to the final assembly as
a unit.
A perfect example of this is the brake acti-vator
assembly as shown on drawing No. 050.
This unit is adjusted after final assembly,
to allow proper function of braking mecha-nism.
You will note how the brake cable is
threaded through the pulley of this sub-assembly.
This simple mechanism provides equal
application of braking force to both rear
wheel drums.
The next sub-assembly will be the two
chain tighteners per drawing No. 057. The
assembly is straight forward with the use of
1/4-28 UNF hardware per call out on draw-ing.
An all-thread bolt is made by the jamming
of 2 hex nuts on one end.
The next two sub-assemblies are a bit
more difficult. Referring to drawing No. 052,
you will see how the adapter, Part No. 034 is
attached to a rear wheel. While we only
power the right wheel, both wheels have
brake drums and require both rear wheels to
have this adapter attached.
Originally, we fastened the adapter and
wheel with 1/4-28 socket-head cap screws
and split lockwasher. However, after several
miles of parade driving, this loosened up on
the driven wheel.
Therefore, we now recommend that in
addition to the lockwasher, the threads be
coated with LocTite (Red), making a semi-permanent
assembly.
The inner bearing of the wheel had to be
removed for the drilling of the four holes as
shown in drawing No. 045. The bearing is not
replaced until after the mounting flange has
been attached.
Doing the above described assembly
requires working in very tight quarters. A
long, ball end allen wrench is used to insert
and turn the Allen Head screws from the
opening in the opposite bearing.
After applying LocTite, tighten all four
screws as tight as you can get them just short
of breaking the ball end off your wrench.
Hopefully, this is the last time you have to do
this.
With the two rear wheels thus done, you
might as well proceed to finishing up the rear
wheels by attaching the sprockets and brake
drums per drawing No. 053.
Having an unused sprocket on the left
rear wheel serves a purpose. At first we had
a large 1/8 thick disc between the left wheel
and the brake drum to assure the brake band
remaining in correct position.
Actually, we learned that making this disc
without a lathe was difficult and, if done by a
machine shop, would cost more that an extra
sprocket. Also, if you wanted to add a differ-ential
in place of the jack shaft, the driven
sprocket is there waiting for you.
Meanwhile, it serves the purpose of keep-ing
the brake band in place. It, also, serves as
a conversation piece. When someone, while
looking your car over, asks what that sprock-et
is for, tell them it is the sending or trigger
wheel for your anti-skid braking system!
The front axle can either be sub-assem-bled
separately or after it is attached to the
chassis board. I prefer the latter. In either
case it is depicted on drawing No. 054.
The jack shaft can, likewise, be loosely
assembled as a sub-assembly. See drawing
No. 061 for reference.

55. The Assembly Process
— Lets Build a Car —
I recommend that, before painting any-thing,
you completely assemble your car and
test drive it. Don’t use lock nuts this time —
merely use regular hex nuts and lock wash-ers.
Trailer it to some area where you can
safely drive it around a bit. If you have a
problem, now is the time to find out.
Once you’re satisfied, completely disas-semble,
clean all the metal parts with
Acetone or other good de-greaser and paint
the color of your choice. My car was finished
with gloss black on the metal parts and
bright red on the wood.
On the final assembly, use nylon lock nuts
every where possible. Where not possible, use
LocTite (blue). There’s a lot of unfelt vibra-tion
that can loosen hardware and ruin the
entire parade for you.
I have not specified the exact lengths and
sizes of most hardware as it should be self
evident. When attaching parts to wood, the
wood tends to crush under the load of tight -
ening the bolts. Hence, the generous use of
large, fender washers is advised. Build all the
sub-assemblies first. Follow the instructions
on the specific drawing.
Now, with the chassis board upside down
on saw horses, assemble the front and rear
axles, and proceed with the attachment of all
parts noted on Drawing No. 058.
From the pictures to the right you see an
amazing amount of parts and hardware uti-lized
in this “simple” car!
You will use quite a bit of the hardware
while working on the underside. However, be
prepared to “box it up” when it becomes nec-essary
to turn it over and assemble on the top
side.
Attach both front and rear axles at this
time. Referring to drawing No. 058 and pho-tos
on page 56, attach as many of the parts
shown on the next page as possible. Noting
the direction of the bolts you made with the
55
The upside down chassis board makes an
excellent place to pile parts and hardware -
until you need to assemble from the top
side!

assist throttle returning to idle.
Photo No. 4 - This shot shows the brake
equalizer and how the brake cable is thread-ed
to reach the outer puller and finally to
brake band.
Photo No. 5 - Detail of how throttle wire ter-minates
at engine. A modified “Z” bend
matches the existing hole in throttle arm
while Clamp, part No. PP 239 attaches to
existing threaded engine hole with 10-32 x
1/2 socket head cap screw. An additional
spring added to assist return to idle.
Photo No. 6 - Throttle cable emerges from
just behind seat support.
57. roll-pin protruding from the head, install
through proper hole in both outboard brake
pulley mtg. brackets, Part Nos.029A and
029B. Leave bolt loose at this time. With the
roll-pins pointing forward, the two chassis
supports, Part Nos.020 and 021 can be posi-tioned
in place. The Foot rest, part No. 013
can be installed from the opposite side and
loosely bolted in place.
Continue to refer to assembly drawing No.
058, which shows the proper location of most
parts under your car.
While the tie rod assemblies are shown on
this drawing, it is best to wait until the steer-ing
shaft, part No.048A has been installed
before attaching the tie rods.
When you are satisfied that the bottom
mounted parts have been installed as far as
possible, turn the chassis over, revealing the
top side (with slats). You can now mount the
seat support. Note: while not called out on
drawing, I placed four large diameter rubber
washers under the seat support (about 2” in
from the four corners. When the mounting
bolts are tightened, the rubber washers are
captivated. Since the chassis flexes under
changing terrain, this allows some “float”
between the two parts.
Make sure the seat support does not inter-fere
with the throttle cable. Check to insure
free movement of the throttle wire.
Before mounting the jack shaft assembly,
it is best to semi-assemble it before hand.
Leave all setscrews loose. Refer to Dwg.062.
You should have a bolt protruding up on
both sides of the chassis. Drop both bearing
support blocks, part Nos 012 over these holes.
Next install the chain tension adjusters, part
No.051 over the protruding bolt. Refer to
drawing Nos 062 & 063 for detail and orien-tation
of the adjusters.
You can now carefully lower the jack shaft
assembly onto the support blocks as shown
on assembly drawings No.059 and No.062.
Install the second bolt up through the chassis
support, chassis, bearing block, chain
adjuster and through the elongated hole in
the pillow block. Use as many heavy, flat
washers under the nuts securing the pillow
blocks, as possible.
Referring to drawing No.062, locate the
large sprocket that connects to the engine, in
the center of the clearance slot cut for it. Do
not tighten any sets screws yet.
Before continuing with the jack shaft, it is
necessary to mount the rear wheels.
However, this is even a better time to mount
the brake band anchor bolts (with the roll-pin).
See the brake band installation draw-ing
No.064 for details.
To install engine, refer to drawing No. 059
and 060. On the prototype the engine was
bolted directly to the chassis board with an
engine mounting plate, No. PP 250 separat-ing
the engine from the wood.
Actual tests indicated that addition stiff-ness
was needed. Therefore, engine supports,
drawings No. XXX and XXX were added.
They are installed between the wood chassis
board and the engine mounting plate.
You will note, by observing the picture on
page 5, how a 1/4” pipe nipple and elbow was
used to extend the engine’s oil drain plug rear
and downward, to enable easy oil changes.
