The auto-horse is Britain's latest motor vehicle. It is a sort of locomotive cab body over a, central driving wheel, two small trailer wheels behind taking the rear we.ght of the chassis when it 1 Tached from its load. It will pull, back, turn, and generally pl ay with a five-ton lorry m a space-of 20 feet. CertainW no horse could put out the same- amount of energy. The auto-horse will do "figures of eight" and circles with the wagf- ?u t p 'Tr° ° Pr, lnclPlo °f the vehicle is that of pulling . load instead of carrying it, , Intended mainly for work in confined spaces, the auto-horse may well mean a revolutionary change for short
