HELPFUL EQUIPMENT
Armrests provide additional comfort for the driver and passengers. In addition the occupants of the rear seat should be provided with footrests, which, in conjunction with the armrests, will save them from being thrown about, on a rough road. Even fcn apparently simple matter such as the disposition of the faeirf-board and its instruments is worthy of careful consideration. The driver should be able to glance momentarily at any essential dial without difficulty.
There is also to be considered the position and design of the doors and their handles. On far too many cars it requires excessive force to operate the locks, so that unless a door is given a slam almost severe enough to shake the body to pieces one cannot be sure that the catch is secure. Handles should be so placed that their inadvertent operation while the car is in motion is rendered unlikely.
