Our Belfast correspondent write regretting to draw our attention to the fact that his telegraphed report concerning the exhibits of the Belfast A,griculturat Show, to which we referred in our first page of the "Wheels of Industry " of last issue, had been badly mutilated in transmission, and that the following corrections are called for :—Amongst the manufacturers whose vehicles were on show must be included Clayton and Co. (Huddersfield), Ltd. With regard to the Leyland exhibit, the fire-engine for the Sandwich Fire Brigade ssae shown, as we said, with its engine running, but the back axle and gearbox which were also shown were separate exhibits. With reference to Mr. Stringer's exhibit, this consisted of a. l‘riaudslay 4-ton standard demonstration wagon. The telegram as received from our correspondent was badly mutilated at this particular part of the report, for it should have gone on to say that three !carrier vehicles were shown by Chambers Motors, Ltd., the Belfast agents. These consisted of the subsidy type 4-ton tipping wagon for R. A. Burke and Co., a 4-ton demonstration chassis after having travelled 4,000 miles on demonstration work, and a similar 4-ton chassis for Gracey Bros.
We regret the errors, for which, however, we should not be justified in holding ourselves .completely responsible. In addition to the vehicles referred to by us, an A.E.C. Chassis arrived after our report was sent away, being shown by 3. B. Ferguson, Ltd,
