Mr. Charles E. Esse, who has been associated with our staff from " No. 1," becomes a sub-editor of this journal from to-day. We have much pleasure in announcing the conclusion of a definite agreement with Mr. Esse, who is Me courteous and able secretary of the Society of Motor Omnibus Engineers and a member of the General Committee of the Motor Union. He possesses Me qualifications of a trained mechanical engineer, combined with the results of several years " afro' the mill" as a user of connnercial molars, lie was engineer-it:charge at the Blackburn depot of the Road Carrying Company, Limited, during the years 1903 and 1904. Numerous steam li',agons were found amongst the plant which he then had to operate under all the trying circumstances attending the old 3-ton tare limit. His subsequent practice has embraced the repairing and driving of various machines fitted with -internal combustion engines, which training he undertook voluntarily, though working and serving as a mechanic in several instances, in order to add to his store of running-shed and roadside experience. This fund of knowledge is, happily, coupled with a striking ability to convey dry facts and descriptions of intricate mechanical systems in phraseology at once simple in directness, whilst not lacking in either force or beauty of expression.
