The automobile street-cleaner is not only propelled by a gasoline motor, but is provided with four separate attachments, each of which is operated by the motor, and is designed for ». special function. These comprise a rake to loosen caked mud upon the surface of the road, squeegees for use in wet weather, a revolving brush to clean up surface rubbish or dust, and a set of overlapping scrapers to complete the cleansing work. The revolving brush is so arranged that the dust and rubbish which it removes are deposited in a special receptacle, and no dust is raised in the air. The motor velicle, working at an average speed of eight miles an hour, can carry out the work of some fifty men. These machines are to be introduced in England during the coming summer.
