publishing these specifications is to present, in bandy form, a summary of data concerning passenger-carrying chassis only, and to include no other particulars than those that are generally needed when selecting, from amongst all the available chassis on the market, a make or model for a specific purpose.
Prior to making a final decision, to wade through a wealth of detail is waste of time, and serves only to confuse; once the choice of vehicle has been reduced to a handful of models, fuller and more detailed specifications may be studied. Here can be sought and found, in the minimum space of time, those chassis which, in the main, most nearly conform with the exact require ments of the prospective buyer. Under each heading are given the maker's designation, the seating capacity, the position of control, the type and size of engine, the chassis length, width and weight, the wheelbase, the available body space, motor particulars in the case a trolley-buses, and the price, where this is definitely fixed, With regard to the last item, however, it should be remembered that prices are liable to variation.
It should be borne in mind, also, that manufacturers are, in many cases, willing to diverge from standard specifications and to incorporate modifications of various descriptions to meet customers' special requirements. A list of abbreviations is given at the top of the next page.
