Bicycles Motorcycles Sewing Machines Factory at Huskvarna and capable of further extension, it was decided to take full advantage of this fact to produce hardware goods for the trade on a larger scale. This policy has been very successful indeed. The fine workmanship, suitable types, and attractive patterns have resulted in a steadily increased demand for these products, and the Husqvarna foundry is now the largest in Scandinavia and one of the largest in Europe. The company's specialities in this line are well known in the hardware and ironmongery trade of all countries. Another line of manufacture was added to the company's activity in 1896, when shops were fitted up for making bicycles, which article now forms a considerable part of the company's production. In 1903 the company started the manufacture of motorcycles, of which two types are made, viz. one for single drive and another for the use with sidecar. They are both excellent specimens of up-to-date motorcycles and in the matter of workmanship, material and suitability for bad and hilly roads they are unsurpassed.

The great number of customers in Europe and overseas countries and the many awards at exhibitions in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Austria, and Australia are distinct proofs of the high quality of products. The manufacture of cylindrical coiled springs forms the principal part of the production. They are made according to the Bach formulæ familiar to all engineers. The values of the constants in these formulæ - »Kd» = the specific torsional strain, »G» = the modulus of torsional elasticity vary largely depending upon the nature of the steel as also the action of the springs. The steel used in these springs usually permits a »Kd» of 50-75 Kg. per sq. mm. for wires from 20 mm. to 2 mm., round or square section. For thinner wires these values are higher. In the mentioned sizes of wire, »G» varies between 7,500-8,200 Kg. per sq. mm. When inquiring for springs a model or drawing should be sent or full particulars furnished in accordance with the company's questionnaire mailed on request. |
