English document with Pionner certificate.

FN introduced a 748cc, 7hp four – the Type 700 – for 1914.

This new engine was a sidevalve of ‘T’-head layout, with mechanically operated valves and a mechanical oil pump, which drove the three-speed gearbox via a steel, multi-plate clutch.

The Type 700 had not been in production long before the FN works was seized by the invading German Army in the autumn of 1914. The occupying Germans used the FN factory to manufacture ammunition while continuing production of the Type 700, which had a top speed of around 45mph and was widely used by dispatch riders. The model remained in production up to 1923 when it was replaced by a new overhead-valve, chain-driven four.

One of the most valued four cylinder motorcycle.
