111 One of the first luxury-bodied Seddon 'ermine IV chassis to be delivered to an Terator was demonstrated on Tuesday. Hie vehicle belongs to Hanworth Acorn -2.oaches and is powered by a Perkins 6.354 [20 hp six-cylinder diesel engine. It has an i'aton Yale and Towne five-speed direct-top ;earbox and an Eaton two-speed axle.

One of the most outstanding features of he vehicle was the low noise level in the aloon, writes Ron Cater. It was possible o converse in normal tones with other )assengers particularly easily.

The vehicle has the engine mounted ongitudinally between the main frames at he front. It is slung low down and by laving four steps at the entrance to the ;Moon, a level floor through the whole ength of the body is achieved. There is no wotrusion of the engine into the floor space, he access hatch being a section of the floor.

The vehicle appeared to have favourable icceleration in the demonstrated condition

when it carried about 15 'passengers, and as the model can be equipped with the Perkins V8 510 engine—which gives 170 bhp—as an option it should be capable of fulfilling almost any type of service.
