Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

An exceptional exhibit for the Royal is the handsome singledecker steam bus recently built by this company; it is a 32-seater with a Hora body, and special attention has beels given.to the riding qualities, the spring-s being lighter and longer than in the usual chassis. The water radius is 40-45 miles and fuel ior 150 miles can be carried. Ventilation is afforded by swing-ii side' windows and small roof traps opening to the rear. The entrance is at the near-side back. 4,

So far as goods vehicles are concerned, there is a 6-ton Super-Sentinel three-way hydraulic tipper with a single central ram, and a 10-ton tractor-lorry with 'a short wheelbase chassis and a trailer portion carried at the front on a special turntable, itself supported at two points on the tractor frame. A -stout king-pin is employed, and this has a neat, simple and reliable means of locking.

We have already described the Super-Sentinel chassis in full in this journal, but would particularly refer our readers to the unusual but`practicable method of incorporating the .differential with the engine crankshaft, a friction devicdi. giving a certain amount of resistance to wheel slip, and th0 acting as a partial lock. for the differential. -i

The Super-Sentinel tractor is also on view. In this machine the standard engine and boiler are suitably mounted on a very short chassis, the chain drive being taken forward to the wheels instead of back. A power winch is embodiecl. We must not fail to refer to the new portable engine, in which practically the same units are employed in anothpr form, but this is slightly out of our present province.
