During the first week of its display in New York the U.S.A. Austin Company received signed orders for 52,02.3 of these ears, aggregating the sum of £4,600,000. In addition to the signed orders obtained, applicants were also filed for «V further total of 34,520 Austins, which distributors were anxious to book up. The original scheme of the U.R.A.
