81] THE GLOBE LIGHT VAN. 181

Load. H.P. Drive, Price (a)

9 cwt. 8 Belt 125

(a) Chassis only with tires.

The single-cylinder van is shown at Olympia.

This exhibitor controls the sales in this country for the Glebe industrial vehicles. An interesting exampl,e of a nine-cwt. express delivery van is on view. The engine is an 8-10 h.p. single-cylinder watercooled Aster, provided with foot accelerator and hand-controlled ignition. The final drive is through a Coventry silent chain of ample strength. Two sets of brakes are, of course. provided : the foot brake taking effect on the countershaft, and the hand-controlled brake on pressed-steel drums bolted to the rear wheels. The road wheels are fitted with 700 mm. by 85 mm. heavy Continental square-tread

tires. The machine, we are informed, is particularly economical in petrol consumption, on an average :15 miles to a gallon being generally accomplished. The company also supplies a combined pleasure and trade vehicle, fitted with a body provided with a detachable rear portion. The sliding undercarriage on the Globe vans should be carefully inspected by the intending purchaser, if only by reason of the mechanical ingenuity.
