Amongst the exhibits on this stand is to be noted one example of tractor construction, the Peterboro', which is made by Peter Brotherhood, Ltd. This is a four-wheeled machine, designed for general purposes, and it embodies an engine, specially designed by M. Ricardo, and capable of running most efficiently on paraffin as fuel. Instead of there being a direct connecting-rod coupling between piston and big-end, a crosshead intervenes, sliding in speeially prepared guides. This construction enables provision to be made for leading away any escaping paraffin, preventing its access to the crankcase, thus avoiding a common trouble with paraffinconsuming engines.
