THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT is taken from a letter published in the English Journal named *‘The Motor,” dated January 8, 1912:WEIGHT OF CARS. ‘‘ln a recent issue of your journal I notice a letter from Mr. S. P. . Edge, in which ho seems to doubt ‘Colonial’s’ statement that there is an American 20 h.p. car weighing 13cwt. to 15cwt., and asks for the name. As lam an amateur of only 10 years’ experience I feel rather diffident aliout offedng information to such a well-known motorist as Mr. Edge; still, I can tell him of one firm who turn out about 200 20 h.p. cars per day which weigh between 13owt. and 15 cwt. I refer to the Ford Co. I am fortunate enough to have one of these cars, and after 5000 miles running on Irish roads, it is as quiet as ever, although m3’ friends predicted that it would shako it* self to pieces in no time. My car is a four-seater, and I..have had as many as six on board, it weighs, in running order a-0., with hoods, screen, lamps, petrol, water, and spares—exactly 13:?cwt. In consequence of its light weight, it docs 27 miles to the gallon, "tyres aro liMit and cheap to buv, 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 tho 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 tho shaft of an ocean liner. lam not connected with the motor trade in any way.” E.
