COXIMENTING on the national-fuel ‘..)reliability trial, recently organized by the Technical Commission of the French Automobile Club, our French contemporary, Le Paids Lourd, remarks that several vehicles ran nearly I(X) kilometres on illuminating gas but afterwards continued the journey on benzole. For vehicles used in towns, gas, as motor fuel, may present possibilities, but in other cases it does not seem that gas can compete with other fuels. With regard to motor vehicles fitted with gas producers, in view of the efforts that
have been made for some years to popularize this system in France, it is rather surprising to learn that interest in producer-gas vehicles is diminishing. Gas producers, are however, none the less interesting from the point of view of national defence, and several wellknown French concerns are continuing their manufacture, notably Panhard, Renault, Berliet and Rochet-Schneider, as regards complete vehicles, and Sagam and Imbert in the case of gas generators only, suitable for fitting to motor vehicles.
