CAR DESIGNS.
[ AMERICAN AND BRITISH. ■ EXPERT'S COMPARISON. MERITS AND DEFECTS. DETROIT, September !). Criticism of American automobiles as viewed through the eyes of British engineers has become public as the result of the visit to the Society- of Automotive Engineers' International Congress of Mr. L. H. Pomeroy, managing director of the Daimler Co., Ltd., makers of the European car bearing this name.
As a critic from overseas, Mr. Pomeroy has had the advantage of living and working in America prior to assuming the position he now occupies. The name Daimler also is associated with initial development and use of the "fluid flywheel " gear-changing mechanism, which is among the all-British types of automatic transmissions. This device now has found its way to America, and adoption for it is being sought.
