trade throughout the world, and have thereby, over a series of years, added to the extent and prestige of British industry. This yeai's Annual, having regard to our growing total of correspondents and other supporters throughout the Empire as well as in many foreign countries, cannot be any exception. It must irresistibly carry forward the banner of the utility vehicle to points and places which hitherto have been virgin ground for the movement which we:foster.

After production, transport comes, and comes very closely. In many parts of the world, there cannot be production until transport has furnished the means—has overcome natural and physical obstacles, and has rendered feasible the conveyance of the means of production, in the shape of power plant, machinery and process equipment, in a manner and at a cost which cannot be achieved by any .system other than self-propelled traffic.

The uses of commercial motors, as our Annual for the year 1913 will once more impress, are indeed multitudinous. Their range is exemplified in the contents of this extra number, and here we may appropriately indicate to new readers the fact that a thin-paper edition of THE COMMERCIAL MOTOR is published weekly, for mailing to the Dominions and Colonies of the Empire, or to any other postal address across the seas.

The contents of the present Annual appeal to the farmer or the planter on one hand, to the trader and merchant on another, and to every branch of the transport industries on yet another. We give some particulars, according .to the space at our disposal for the purpose, of the commercial motor in its varied applications. Textual references, for which the Editorial staff of this journal is wholly responsible, do not, however, solely constitute the announcements which should be perused by everybody into whose bands this Annual may come. The business announcements of all the manufacturers, and other particulars which are closely allied to them in Our numerous advertisement pages, deserve to be scanned and studied with care, and with every account taken of the frequent proofs therein. presented of success with commercial motors in undeveloped or partly-developed countries.

In closing this brief general introduction, we seriously invite the co-operation of our many engineering friends—members either of the Institution of Civil Engineers or of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers—who will receive copies by reason of their important appointments and vocations. Some of these gentlemen, we know, whilst not averse to being kept informed of any up-to-date practice and progress in the Old Country, will not have immediate reasons for preferring inquiries, or for recommending purchases. In those cases, we a.sk that they will pass their copies of the Annual to pm:sous or parties who do possess immediate or prospective intentions thereanent.

Tun Eerrott.
