THE Baico chassis is too well known to necessitate any detailed description. Suffice it to say that the universally-known Ford mechanism is fitted
into the Baicctrchassis, whichVsupplies all that, portion which actually carries the load.

The 1922 passenger type-of chassis, on which the GO-seater saloon coach is mounted, has 50 in. semi-elliptic springs as compared with the 40 in. standard, longer chains and torque arms, _an 11 ft. 2 in. wheelbase as compared with 10 ft. 8 in. standard. The seats, which are well sprung, and have wide back rests, are arranged transversely in the body, and are upholstered in good quality leather cloth. • The doors each side of the driver's seat are fitted with drop -windows, in addition to the sliding side windows, which are fixed on rubber rollers, and are noiselessly adjustable for
