Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

IWO very fine International six. cylinder passenger chassis are shown this stand, each carrying a singleck saloon body built by Strachan and .own. The most imposing, perhaps, the one which is fitted with a deDuntable top and permanent rear querr ; this is very attractively finished on e outside in grained mahogany. Enance is by means of near-side donrs the front and rear ends of the body, .e seats being arranged in pairs on the

f side of the gangway and with a ngle row on the near side. The in• rior of the body is very handsomely ?pointed, including, of course, features ich as drop lights in metal frames, ash alys, rug rails, and electric lighting iroughont. The chassis is of the new Iw-loading type (model 15), which has eon specially evolved for fast passener-carrying work, and is fitted with a nique system of auxiliary springs, rhich give very comfortable riding. The ther single-decker exhibited is also a 0-seater and has a permanent top.

In addition to these passenger vehicles two four-wheel tractors are exhibited,

each capable of hauling 8 to 10 tons under average conditions. New features to notice on the tractors are a spring drawbar hitch, which serves to absorb the shock when starting away with a heavy load, and a device at the front which enables the tractor to be used to push the trailer into position when this manmuvre is required in a confined space.

The coupling device at the front simply consists of a sturdy built-up construction of girders secured to the frame and projecting in front of the radiator, to which a bracket and cross-pin are attached. At the rear end the frame is prolonged backwards and carries a flat vertical casting, to which is secured a smaller casting carrying a hook and taking the pull of the trailer against a set of six stiff coil springs. The cabs of these tractors provide really comfortable accommodation for the driver. The exhibit is completed by the new International 21-ton six-cylinder goods chassis, intended for high-speed work.
