SIX examples of Austin design are to be found on their stand. For road haulage there is the well-known Austin tractor titted with steel-disc' wheels, rubber tyres, and having three speeds. For municipalities there is the Austin Twenty model, with a body of the brougham-fronted type, built by Startin, Ltd., of Birmingham. This provides accommodation for two stretcher and four seated cases, and is a thoroughly well-appointed vehicle, particularly suit
able for the work owing to its long underslung springs, shock absorbers and large-section tyres, which afford the patients the maximum of comfort.
On a similar chassis is a van body by the same builders, constructed of well-seasoned ash framing. This is particularly suitable for fast delivery work. A slightly smaller van, also for rapid delivery, is shown on the Austin Twelve chassis, whilst the smallest van is a 2i-cwt. model in which use is made
of the popular Austin Seven, a most reliable little chassis.
Travellers are catered for by a sample car on the Austin Twelve. This is a two-seater vehicle which provides every comfort for long continuous journeys. The sample compartment is at the rear and has two doors and the necessary shelving for carrying samples of large size.
