A reader tells us that he lived in a row of houses where all rubbish (wet and dry) was thrown into a brick " ashpit " to which the only access was a small door, approached by steps, whilst there was a large
circular opening into a narrow hack lane for emptying purposes. As both these were a good 6 ft. from the ground, the dust and flies disturbed when refuse was cast in or shovelled out to be thrown into an open cart can be imagined.
Weight Cutting by WHILST weight cutting is Undue Flywheel Lightvv desirable in that it enhances ening is Undesirable efficiency, it is not without dis advantages. For example, a heavy lump of metal that tempts the wielder of the axe is the flywheel. Lightening this impairs the ability of the power unit to start the vehicle up a hill from rest. A spinning flywheel can alone move the machine a few feet; without it there is Only the engine torque. For this reason some big-capacity machines in the 30 m.p.h; class are bad starters on steep up-grades. It is a point to watch.
