Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Our illustration shows one of two similar motor vehicles recently sent to Burmah by Messrs. Brown Bros., Ltd., of Great Eastern Street, E.C. This motor brake or wagonette seats 12 passengers quite comfortably, and it is fitted with detachable canopy top and curtains, forming an excellent protection against sun or rain.

The chassis is an excellent piece of work. For such a vehicle as this certain parts naturally have to bear very heavy strains, and these have been made exceptionally strong. The engine is a 1211.p. double-cylinder with kin. bore and

sin. stroke, with magneto ignition fitted. The transmission is through a coned clutch of large diameter and Brampton's roller chains. One lever actuates the three forward speeds and reverse, giving s, 10, and 16 miles per hour. A particular feature of this brake is the way the lubrication has been attended to, resulting in a very efficient system, The brake on the counter shaft is operated by a foot pedal, whilst those on the rear wheels are actuated by a side hand lever. The wheels are 34in. in diameter, and are fitted with Sirdar solid rubber tyres.
