Exhibit : Three Cabs, and Three Vans.
Humber, Limited, of Coventry and Beeston (Notts), shows examples of its commercial and public-service vehicles. Of these, two are cabs with seating accommodation for two persons, and on this type of vehicle the arrangement provides for placing the engine under a bonnet, as is the usual Humber practice, but the four-seated cab is fitted with a much more commodious body which, of course, necessitates a rearrangement of the driver's scat. On this particular vehicle, the driver is seated directly over the engine, which much improves the general appearance of the forward part of the cab, as is shown in the sketch which we reproduce herewith. It will be remembered that we published full details of this cab chassis in our issue of three weeks ago, and, as far as constructional details are concerned, there is nothingto add,
The two small vans are mounted on the to-12h.p. chassis, similar to that of the two-seated cab.
The larger van is fitted with a 2oh.p.,
four-cylinder, slow-running engine, which is fitted with the Eisemann system of high-tension ignition. The change-speed provides for four speeds. forward, and one reverse.
