1878<\/h1>

Franti\u0161ek Jane\u010dek was born on January 23, 1878 in Klaster, a small village in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). He studied mechanics in Prague, receiving his diploma from the Engineering College in Berlin.\n\nWhile serving on the Italian front during World War I, he developed a series of models, patenting over 60 inventions - including an improved hand grenade, which became a standard issue for the Czech army.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1929<\/h1>

\n\nAfter the First World War, the demand for weapons decreased, so skilled labor and factories in Europe focused their precision production techniques on the developing world of motorcycles.\n\nIn 1929, Janicek was attracted.\n\nCombining the first two letters of \"Janicek\" and \"Wanderer,\" the first Jawa motorcycle was designed - the Jawa 500 OHV.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1930<\/h1>

\n\nTo serve the masses, Jane\u010dek knew he needed a lightweight and economical motorcycle.\n\nHe recruited GW Patchett - a renowned British engineer with previous racing experience - to lead this initiative.\n\nFrom 1930 until the outbreak of World War II, Patchett was chief designer for Jawa.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1931<\/h1>

\n\nThe first step of Patchett towards a universal motorcycle was the use of the Villiers 175cc two-stroke engine. By 1933, the new model took off - Jawa 175 became the most popular motorcycle in Czechoslovakia. Later, Jawa discontinued the production of 500cc OHV. With Villiers, the new Jawa transformed to six horsepower at 3,750 rpm.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1932-1935<\/h1>

\n\nUnder Patchett, the Jawa research and development team began designing engines in-house.\n\nAdditional models were introduced, largely based on 250 and 350cc two-stroke engines. The factory also produced sophisticated four-stroke overhead-cam racing machines in very limited numbers during this period.\n\nThese machines contributed to establishing Jawa's reputation for brilliant engineering and exceptional maneuverability.\n\nThis newfound confidence led Jawa to enter factory race teams at the Isle of Man TT races in 1932, 1933, and 1935.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1939-1945 The era of World War II<\/h1>

The outbreak of World War II put a pause on Jawa motorcycle production, but not on their development. Although the Jawa factory was forced to produce armaments under the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, Jane\u010dek continued to work in secret, driven by his passion for innovation.\n\nHis next range of motorcycles would be called Jawa \"Perak\".\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1946 - Jane\u010dek's dream came true.<\/h1>

Perak made it's public debut at the 1946 Paris Auto Show, where it won a gold medal. With a piston suspension in the rear, telescopic forks in the front, a square-section steel frame, and a now-legendary multi-disc wet clutch integrated into the gearbox, which allowed for clutchless shifting. Designed by J. Jos\u00edf and J. Krivka, the Perak was built around a new 249cc two-stroke engine and gearbox.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
