" Acceleration proved to be excellent, the car reaching 50 m.p.n. from a 10 m.p.h. start on top gear in 27 sees., while on second gear the maximum of 38 m.p.h. is reached in corKsspondingly quick time. The maximum speed attained was 55 m.p.h. with a load o. four adults of average weight. The engina is devoid of roughness at this speed, and 40-45 m.p.h. can be attained indefinitely without any feeling ©S °v er « r braking system proved eaual to all demands made upon It. . . J* H. MASSIC BUIST, "THE ILLUSTRATED SPORTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS " London : Admirable ENGINE Balance. . . . "1 havo never sat behind, nor driven, a six cylinder* American engine of any size or cost that has a better balance than this. Yet no crankshaft balancer is used at all. Nor are a lot of balanw weights added to the crankshaft as an after thought of production. Safety and Appearance. Tfri tow centre of gravity, European style, and the use of a steel body, v 3 excellent means of providing the maximum visibility for vhe driver, and the employment of properly designed internal expanding front wheel brakes, make this car safe beyond the ordinary. . . . . Two-beas?! headlights are provided by means of double filament bulbs in tihe centre. One is a long range beam for general driving, and the other a tilted beam light for lown driving. " The centre of gravity is excellently low." •'THE AUTOCAR," London: LOW BUT ROOMY. In the first place the ERSKINE is of a lower buiid than one is accustomed to expect from the U.S.A., for the overall height is but 5 ft. 10 in. In spite of this the head room has not been sacrificed,, for from floorboards to roof lining the distance is 46£ in. Although tha wheslbase is Just under 9 ft., and the chassis accommodates a sixcylinder engine with four crankshaft bearings, the designer has managed to provide ample room in the four-door saloon without having too much overhang. SMOOTH AND SILENT. . . . "A cruising speed of 40 to 45 m.p.h. can be maintained without any real indication that the engine is doing any work, and, owing to the good qualities of the suspension system, and the absence of drumming and other body noises, such a speed is very deceptive, appearing much lower than it actually is. " At the same time when called upon the engine will throttle down and pull sustainedly on top gear at less than 4 m.p.h. The car can, therefore, if one wishes, be driven on top gear practically anywhere, and as the clutch is smooth in action it is only really necessary to change diown in traffic if one is brought 1!o an absolute standstill. . . - Confidence is also inspired by the efficiency of the pedal-operated internalexpanding four-wheel brakes, for from a speed of 40 m.p.h. the car was brought to rest in a distance of 91 ft. . .
