Examples of Sturdily-constructed Chassis from Salisbury.

The two chassis exhibited on this maker's stand consist of a twotanner and a three-tonner. Readers will remember, from our recent article on Scout motors, that this company specializes in chars-hbanes and country-carriers' vehicles. Upon inspection, the machines give evidence of careful thought in design, and also of highclass workinanship throughout. The vertical engine presents an engineering job. The cylinders are east separately, and the engine unit and gearbox are bolted to a sub.

frame, making a particularly stout job. The final drive is by Coventry silent chain, the chains themselves being enclosed in a particularlyneat form of aluminium case. The original design of the clutch calls for special mention, in that, instead of the usual form of cone leather, the female portion of the corns ponent is accommodated with cork blocks, which act as a very soft taper for the drive. The clutch, of course, is run dry. Further evidence of the high-class nature of this production is the fact that all road wheels are mounted on Hoff' mann ball hearings; the wheels themselves are stoutly built up of wood and steel and shod with Avoii tires, singles on the front and twins cm the rear, the sizes being 900 mm. by 120 mm. On the two-tontier the sizes are 820 mm. by 100 mm. Tho chassis price of the three-tonner is £585, and the two-tonner £530.
