(Extract of an Article by John Philliniore, Reprinted from London Evening' News, Marcli 28th, 1914.) LONDON MOTORING. The New Maxwell " 25" and a Severe Tut. AT the request of cue MAXWELL MOTOR COMPANY, LIMITED, of 212, Great Portland street, W., I took out for a test run their New Model Five-seated Touring Car. Tlie Car is of 18-22 nominal horse-power, the 4-eylinder engine dimensions being 3§ and 4} inches. As this car is priced at a Low l'igure, complete with hood, side curtains, and bag, screen, five lamps speedometer, etc., I was determined to give it a severe test in order to find out any weak points. The route I chose was via the Crystal Palace, Bromley, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, to Tunbridge Wells, and home by Titsey and Westerham. This round is.rather longer than I usually take, since in order to get both Titsev and Westerham hills I had to go out of mv way. • With a car costing £3OO to £4OO, one has a right to expect certain good features, but with a cheap car, which seems to offer a lot for the money, one has every right to be sceptical until the car's performance has convinced one favorably. . Thus I started out on the run, with the full determination to find out all the faults I could, but I have now no severe criticism to make. In the case of the MAXWELL the general design is both accessible and simple, the two qualities which are essential. The cylinders of the engine are cast in one, with the top half of the crank case and the heads separate, so that this casting can be easily removed together with the valves. Thermo-syphon cooling is used, and Simm's British high tension magneto. Adjustable Mixtures. The carburettor took my fancy, for the reason that the petrol supply can be 'altered while the engine is running and without taking anything to pieces. . ■■ . The horizontal jet is in the form of a tube, with four different sized holes in the circumference. By simply turning the tube round —and this can be done externally with finger and thumb —the mixture can be made richer or weaker as required. - I found the engine was good at picking up its speed under load, and pulled well at slow revolution rate. A cone clutoh lined with motobestos transmits the power to a separate 3-speed and reverse gear-box, whioh is of neat design. The rear axle_ contains a bevel drive and differential gear, and the engine lubrication is by means of splash, the big end bearings being fitted with scoops, which dip into troughs, and the oil is supplied to these by a plunger pump. The suspension of the car is by semi-elliptic springs both in front and behind, and both sets of brakes work on the rear wheel drums. Hand throttle and variable spark levers are placed under the steering wheel, and an accelerator pedal is also supplied. The surface of the road up to the Crystal Palace —in fact, most of the road to Tunbridge Wells —in about as bad as it could be just now, ana the car was not spared in any w>ay. Four people were carried, averaging over 12st'. This load, together with the fact that the road surface was heavy, made the hill-climbing performances more praiseworthy. But to return to the suspension, I was quit© satisfied with this, both from the rear seats and also the front, and no jarring or swinging was experienced even when running over the worst portions of road. On the level, with full load, the car is capable of a speed of about 40 miles an hour, and from the back seats is quiet and smooth in running at any speed.

Titsey and Westerham, I was qutte surprised with the way the car tackled the hills. On the outward journey the first part of the Crystal Palace hill required second speed, since it was not possible to rush it, while the last part, which IB the steeper, "was done on top. The stiff winding hill into Bromley from Shortlands only required a change of gear for the last fifteen yards, and the hill into Sevenoaks was defeated on the high gear. The steering control is good, be jag very light and steady, and the brakes are smooth and powerful in operation. The body appeared good ralue, and the general appearance of the car la neat and does not look cheap. The gear changes, both up and doown, can be easily and quietly made, and tho usual good American practice of supplying a lever to "shut," "cold," or "hot" tho air is employed. The slope up to the Cryst-ai Palace n the return journey was done on top speed. . . One of these cars was shown at the Dunedin Winter Show, and attracted Great Attention, coming in for a considerable • amount of praise, surprise being- expressed at the Wonderful Value Offered for the Money: £260 for the Five Passenger and £250 for the Two Passenger Car. A Test was made in Dunedin with four big people on board, the car going right from bottom to the top of High streetwithout once having to use the low gear. _ Several Orders were Booked, and it is_ certainly a compliment to the car that an experienced motorist such 'as Mr W. Lory, of Dalgety and Co., has booked an order for one of the f-st to arrive in Oamaru, which is due shortly. ■ a THE LOCAL. AGINT,
