Pullman, 18-seater Coach.
STAND No. 62.
tHE most interesting vehicle en this stand is the Wallace-Pullman 18ter coach, which is a very successful empt to solve the problem of an allether type of vehicle in which passens shall be able to travel long distances with the maximum of comfort. Very light—aeroplane practice has been employed in its construction—the high canopy is fixed permanently in position, sliding curtains are provided behind the side pillars, which can be drawn in in. clement weather, and in the winter season closed windows can be substituted if desired. An excellent feature of this body is the semi-isolation of the driver and the provision made for curtaining off' the back of the driver's seat, so that he shall not be inconvenienced by the in.: tenor lighting at night. The open sides and large rear window, combined with the large amount of headroom, certainly minimize the effects of a fixed canopy
when employed for summer season work.
The seats are staggered and independent and are bolted directly to the floor, and the interior lighting is wellarranged.
Another passenger-carrying vehicle on this staed is a very comfortable 19seater char-a.bancs of the usual type. also fitted with a fixed canopy, which this concern believe to be preferable to the ordinary type of Cape-cart hood. Spacious luggage lockers are provided on the off side, and this coach, like the Wallace-Pullman, is mounted on giant pneumatic tyres.
The stripped chassis enables the mechanical construction to be seen.
