THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT is taken from a letter published in the English Journal named ‘‘The Motor,” dated January 3, 1912: WEIGHT OF CARS. “In a recent issue of your journal I notice a letter from Mr. S. F. Edge, in which he seems to doubt ‘Colonial’s’ statement that there is an American 20 h.p. car weighing ISoivt. to 15cwt., and asks for the name. As I am an amateur of only 10 years’ experience, I feel rather diffident about offering information to such a well-known motorist as Mr. Edge; still, I can tel! him of ono firm who turn out about 200 20 h.p. cars per day which weigh between 13owt. and 15 owt. I refer to the Ford Co. I am fortunate enough to have ono of these cars, and after 5000 miles running on Irish roads, it is as quiet as over, although my friends predicted that it would shake itself to pieces in no time,. My car is a four-seater, and I have had as many as six on board. Jt weighs, in running order ,i.e., with hoods, screen, lamps, petrol, water, and spares—exactly 133 cwt. In consequence of its light weight, it does 27 miles to the gallon, tyres are light and cheap to buy, and last a long time. It takes very steep hills on top speed, and can average 30 m.p.h. on hilly roads. Now that tlie Americans have shown us what can be done in the way of reducing weight, I hope English makers will follow suit, but . if they do the English buyer must not expect steering connections an inch thick and a back axle like the shaft of an ocean liner. lam not connected with the motor trade in any way.” E.
