This firm has for long specialized in the sale of the Cletrac tractor, a machine of the chain-track type, particularly suitable for work in the hopsgrowing area of "Cent, .where the company's premises are situated. The Cletrac is now available in two sizes, the larger one being of 25 ii.p., and the smaller, the Junior, of 17 h.p. The former has a four-cylinder engine of 4 ins. by .5i ins. bore and stroke; the latter, also a four-cylinder, is 34 ins. by 4i ins. Both machines have gearboxes which afford one speed only, in each direction. The transmission is by cut gears throughout, and all the mechanism is totally enclosed. The special. features of this type of tractor are _the low pressure between track and ground, this being, in the larger model, only 4i ltb., the ample tractive adhesion at that tow pressure and the small size of the minimum turning circle.
