SIX-WHEELED CHASSIS.

RIDING COMFORT AND SAFETY

A NEW DEVELOPMENT

The riding comfort and safety attained by the six-wheeled type of chassis lias led a prominent English manufaotureer to patient a special form of four-wheeled bogie, intended for tlie rear end of the six-wheeled chassis.

In this, three differentials are incorporated, and one. of the. advantages c’aimecl for tlie design is that orthodox bevel-driven axles can be employed. Who knows hut that we may not yet see cars of the future with the driving-wheels in front. and four trailing wheels in the rear?

Tlie. new type of six-wheeled private car chassis, for those who can afford them and who want to seat seven or eight people comfortably in their limousines de luxe, while carrving all their luggage in nea.tly-stowed-away trunks, free from dust, dirt rain, or fierce .snnrays, would appeal to some motorists.

rll tliis connection it is interesting to note that the King tlias recently pnr-based a six'-wheeled saloon car, which will repla'p the pon\- traps hitherto used for takintr the King's shooting parties across the moors.
