Our readers are already fairly familiar with the construction of the Girling parcelcar. This model has rendered a, good -account of itself during the last two years, in London service particularly. The company has now been consider ably enlarged, and it is proposed to turn out these machines in a much larger quantity than before.
A Somewhat radical departure in construction has been made, however, and the improved machines will first be on public view at Olympia in July. It will be seen from the illustrations herewith that the air-cooled engine has now been changed for one of the water-cooled variety. An ample-sized radiator has been adopted, the circulation being by pump, chain-driven from the camshaft. Vertical have now replaced the horizontal-type valves, these being the only alterations carried out in the chassis design.
The engine is still of the same capacity-5-6 lip. Our readers may possibly remember the clever design of the rear wheel suspension on this model ; by the removal of a single nut, and the moving aside of the spring, the wheel can readily be detached. The illustrations show the new front " lines " and the new
engine and its connections. K. T. tire suits the driving wheel.
