An Illustrated Account a a Stand-to-Stand Inspection of the Second North of England Motor Show.
The growing importance of the commercial-vehicle section of the exhibits at the Manchester Show, of which a detailed report of the second annual display follows herewith, is the feature which will, in all probability, be most evident to our readers after a general survey of the progress that has been made. There are no fewer than 45 petrol-driven industrial vehicles shown, whilst the steamers number 4.
It is clear that most of the big makers are giving more and more attention to motor chars-h-bancs, and their appreciation of the demand for this class of machine is evidenced by the fact that its examples number 6 at Rusholme. The Dennis and the Leyland fire-engines make a brave spectacular display. There is little to choose between the best examples of different makes which are shown. From ambulance to fire-engine, and from "Black Maria" to char-h-bancs, a large field of industrial-motor requirements is satisfactorily covered by the collection at Manchester this year. Users of all kinds are finding much to interest them, both on the stands of makers of complete vehicles, and in connection with the smaller exhibits of the accessory, tire and generalsupply merchants, which are grouped all round the outer circuit of the hall.
