Comment in<j upon motor-car eon&truction. a leading hnglisii trade paper considers that nothing is more hopefni for the future of the automobile industry thau the now-prevalent tendency on the part of a great number of manufacturers, to build a small and low-priced car. .This tendency, it is i said, was particularly noticeable at I several of the recent shows, and it I was observed also that most of these ! small cars showed a decided advance, ! both in design ard. in general construe- ' tion. upon what has hitherto been effected in these connections. In pt\rticnlar. the form of chassis, or frame, adopted by two or three makers, ie I which the enjrne is placed transverse- ! ly. and the drive is from it to the gearbox, and thence to the rear axle, is thought to be ideal for the small car It makes a very simple form of trans mission, very cheap to manufacture and very efficient. It also has the advantage of being easy to arransre while no difficulties as to aliirnmeni are met with. TENDERS. (Continued from Pace 2.1 C*T.
