THE EFFECTIVE BRAKE.
A witness giving evidence in the Magistrate’s Court to-day was very emphatic that a certain motortruck was capable of high speeds. The witness said: “It’s a very fast truck, your Worship. It’s been followed by a car at sixty miles an hour. It’s available now for a try-out, and you can appoint any driver you like. A lower gear ratio has been put into it, and it can still do fifty-five miles an hour.” Mr E. Jy. Mosley, SJVI.: Yet, I’ll guarantee it would not do more than thirty miles per hour if it came before me. There was much laughter.
