Identify Grandad's 1920s Motorcycle

<< < (2/2)

mini-me:
Forget Norton, but it seems to me that the sides of the tank are actually curved, and you can just make out a logo that seems to be 3  letters, BSA is first that comes to mind,but there were others such as AJS, NUT. Not sure either would fit here.

Cycle stem handle bar fitting; rim front brake, I can't see a gear lever so possibly single speeder? A lot of air under that tank which might be a clue. Side valve engine with exhaust held on by a nut. There is a cable running to the timing gear chest [valve lifter?] same as my Sunbeam but I don't think it is a Sunbeam though.

R:
I've been trying LMC and TDC and AKD, since they almost fit what's on the tank ?
Some years/models these logos were in block letters.
ChaterLea possibly made the frame parts, although it would have been helpful to see lower down,
and the forks are druid.

Any chance of a bigger scan of the tank logo.
If you can zoom in in the scanning, this sometimes makes it quite readable.

?  Wrong tank logo

LHDeYNoR:
I'm afraid the scan was already at the highest resolution my scanner can manager.

The middle letter looks like a lower case "r" to me.
