old photo

I checked my collection of close to 500 vintage motorcycle photo's and could not come up with a match,the factory photo's I have are from mechanic's classes(47-48) from when my Dad started there (June 1948- retired august 2003),the guys may be Art Earlenbaugh,and Bill Knuth,but I don't have any photographic proof,and the last time I met Bill Knuth was late 50's early 60's.
Do you happen to have other photo's showing the bike?
looks interesting. Ken S.

The guy with the flat-top golfing hat with his arm around Weyres sort of looks like Red Parkhurst to me. Not sure, but according to old Squibby Parkhurst was working in Beloit around this time period and would come to the Factory to visit.

Red Parkhurst

Hi Herb,
