Norton Manx - Cutaway

I've always like the old cutaway illustrations like this. It gives a really great perspective on how everything goes together and how it all works. It seems that sometimes, things are a little bit off, but for the most part, they're quite accurate. This particular Manx is apparently from 1951, based on the date at the top. Surely, it's an early version as can be seen by the bolt up rear sub frame, flat front number plate, mesh flyscreen and swan neck clip ons. Just the sort of racing Norton that Geoff Duke would have used to win a World Championship.
