Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

considerable space to the then proposed extension of Messrs. G. Scarnmell and Nephew's premises in Fashion Street, Spitalfields. From time to time, since that date, we have given space to these developments as they havebeen put in hand.

We are now able to reproduce an illustration showing the last opened shop, which is largely devoted to the repair and maintenance of Commer Cars, for which vehicles Messrs. Seammell and Nephew are the sole official repairers in London and district. A large stock of spares for these machines is kept in hand, and additional plant has been put down to cope with the upkeep and maintenance of this maker's vehicles. A well-equipped erecting and fitting shop, in which Commer Cars can be overhauled from the radiator cap to the back axle, is now in full working order. . This adjoins the last built extension, in which upwards of 20 machines can be housed.

Our readers are aware that Messrs. Scarnmell and Nephew do a considerable amount of repair work to Ffallford machines, and here again a large stock of this maker's spares is carried in order that work can be carried out with out unnecessary delay.

For some years this enterprising company has been the London and district agents for Foden steamers, and, in order that the heaviest work may be handled in an efficient and rapid manner, a complete plant for boiler repair work has been installed. Adjustments to these machines are carried out by trained men, who have been specially sent down from the Sandbach factory. Nothing but Foden material is built into the Foden machines ; this is a point which should weigh considerably with the London user of these steamers. It is of interest to note that two of the largest hydraulic presses in the country, for handling wheel repairs, have been installed in the Fashion Street works.

While chatting the matter over with Mr. Allen H. Scammel, we

were informed that the " composite wheel for steam wagons, which has now been in service in many varying climates for a period of upwards of four years, has given the greatest satisfaction to its users, not a single complaint as to its wearing qualities and life having been received.

Quite recently Messrs. Scammell and Nephew have sold two five-ton steam wagons to a well-known New York haulier, and it is believed that these will be the first Paden wagons in daily service in the capital city of the 'U.S.A.
