Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

mITE 2-ton class has become one of

the most important of all sizes of goods vehicle, and for that reason interest in the Dodge Brothers stand centres on the new four-cylinder 2-tonner which is exhibited for the first time. This machine has a side-valve fourcylindered engine of Treasury rating 21.03 h.p., a four-speed gearbox and full floating rear axle. The tyres are 20-in. by 6-in, pneumatics (twin rear). The chassis is one of simple layout and adequately strong build.

One example with a wheelbase of 11 ft. 4 ins, is being shown equipped with hand-operated end-tipping gear and a lorry body, and the price with coat of primer is /273. The vehicle is, however, seen in the completely finished state, the appearance being excellent.

Another example with wheelbase of 13 ft. 9 ins, is seen with a Luton van body, the price in this instance being /342.

A 30-cwt. drop-side lorry having the same type of engine but a wheelbase of 11 ft. 4 ins., 20-in. by 6.00-in, front tyres and 32-in. by 6-in, rear tyres, is shown at /250.

A similar chassis is shown equipped with a van liody and selling at £259.

A high-powered 15-cwt. express van having the same size of engine, a wheelbase of 9 ft. 1 in. and 5.50-in. by 19-in. tyres is shown, this being listed at 1205.

The company's 21-tonner has a sixcylindererl engine of treasury rating

27,34 h.p. and a wheelbase of 11 ft. 8 ins., and is shown mounted on 32-in. by 6-in. tyres (twin rear), with threeway hand-tipping body of smart appearance and sturdy build, at /483.

Of the heavier chassis of this make a 3-tonner is shown, this having a sixcylindered engine of 31.54 h.p. and a wheelbase of 13 ft. 9 ins., a feature being that the frame is slightly arched. The chassis costs /635.

Another model equipped with this size of engine is the 4-tonner of 16-ft. 3-in. wheelbase. This is mounted on 34-in. by 7-in. tyres (twin rear), and ;the chassis price is 1799. Dodge Brothers' vehicles have behind them a long-standing reputation, which is acknowledged in most parts of the world, for straightforwardness of layout and a due regard for the importance of making bearings, shafts, etc., of ample dimensions commensurate with moderate weight. The stand offers a good display of the various popular models.—Dodge Brothers (Britain), Ltd.. Kew Gardens, Surrey.
