A. 1923-1955 After producing 350-c.c. two-strokes for a few years, Delta-Gnom concentrated on J.A.P.-engined machines of from 350 to 1,000 c.c. A modern 500-c.c. o.h.v. model with an own power unit appeared in 1929 but production ceased in the early thirties. It was resumed after the war, after a reorganization of the firm, with mopeds and 125- and 175-c.c. Rotax-engined two-stroke machines.
