FROM JOHN F. MOON TURIN, Tuesday. A IR suspension is a strong feature of the Turin Show, which opens tomorrow and closes on November 16. Pirelli Saga Elipress air springs are fitted at front and rear of two new Fiat passenger chassis. A representative of the company told me that there was a big demand for air suspension for buses, but his company did not intend yet to fit it to goods vehicles.
Fiat tonight announced big reductions in the prices of commercial vehicles—in some cases as much as £175.
One of the highlights of the Show is a new Isotta Fraschini underfloor-engined coach with air springs and an automatic gearbox. There is also a new Isotta Fraschini lorry.
Macchi are now offering German Bussing air springs, as seen at the Frankfurt Show last year.
Firestone air springs are combined with normal semi-elliptics, in which air bags act as the rear swinging shackles, in two new Bartoletti trailers.
Viberti have a new 4 x 4 dumper of about 8-cu.-yd. capacity. Not all the exhibits have yet arrived, but Viberti models with Ceat air springs are expected. Lancia also have a 4 x 4 with a horizontal petrol engine.
An outstanding O.M. model is a bus with a rear-mounted supercharged oil engine. The supercharger can be brought into use while the vehicle is moving.
The Show will be fully reported and illustrated in next week's issue.
