A NEW. PATTERN HOOD.
A simple and effective style of hood for a light car has been noted in use. It is on the principle of the roller blind, and its outstanding feature is its extreme neatness and simplicity. There is a rounded depression just behind the seat of the two-seater car, in which the cylinder containing the hood rests. The erection is very simple. There are two Y-shaped sida supports held by strong catches. The canvas covering is then pulled out of its casing and fastened
over studs at the .end of the stays, the front of the hood being secured in position by two straps. The canvas is held absolutely taut, and side curtains can be fitted if required. It certainly seems the acme of simplicity, and when not in use is a great improvement, from an appearance pom? of view, as compared with the ordinary system. Again, this system of hood avoids the chafing and cutting through of covering incidental to the type of hood now in general use.
