CONSUL BERGH REPORTS.
Tells manufacturer What to Send to
Sweden.

Rohs It s. s. Bergh, United States
consul ar Gothenburg, Sweden, has is
suef1 = hint to americans in a report on
his station # Will, not specially inter-
est his friends I'M ,Grailo Forks and the
Northwest generally. but 1t SHOWS that
Mr.. Bergh is wide-aWs,ke and does not
propose to let American interests suf-
fer while he is around to poij1t the way.
Calling attention to the neglect shown
by American automobile manufacture
ers and electrical companies, he re-
ports as follows:
MANY business men here think that
the import of motor carriages into
Sweden, if once properly started, would
be considerable, provided they can be
made durable, neat in appearance, safe
and easy to handle, and not too eX-
pensive. Cab owners, especially in
Stockholm. are considering the advisa-
bility of purchasing motor carriages,
and short time ago they sent experts
to Berlin to study and examine motor
cabs manufactured in Germany. The
report they made on their return was
not altogether favorable. They said
that automobiles which, in catalogues,
seemed to be ideals of perfection, in re-
atty did not come up to expectations.
"1he chief objection to motor cabs,
with accumulators or storage batteries.
was that they could not make sharp
enough turns. The cabs We're built
with the batteries placed close to the
back wheels. The steering power OF
the front wheels was so small that the
carriages could turn only in very large
curves. II aking them unfit for use on
narrow streets Another inconvenience
was that as soon as the carriages got
on road covered with a layer OF sand
an inch thick, they stopped helplessly.
eat present there is only petroleum
motor carriage and light motorcycle
in Gothenburg, both of French manu-
facture. I believe there is IN American
motor carriage in Stockholm: but
American manufacturers ought to pay
attention. also, to the markets III the
other cities Of this kingdom. especially
Gothenburg and Malmo. 1t would be
of great advantage for American firms
to be represented here at once.
"Another thing Of Importance is cleo
trical machinery in general. which will
be in great demand as soon as the peo-
pie have fully learned the value Of
their numerous waterfalls. A large
electric power plant will soon be built
at Trollhattan; electric railways and
tramways are being planned in Goth
enburg, Lund. Bjerrod Jonkopin. In
this line, as in everything else, the
Germans are always watchful; they
nav close attention to details, and, if
necessary, send experts here to study
plans. etc. whereby they greatly in
crease their chances to introduce ma
chinery. If it is not practical for
Americans to do likewise. they could,
possibly, employ active agents to repre-
sent them here.
"Electric motor carriages are prefer
red for city traffic. Those with ben
zine motors are said to be noisy and to
emit offensive gases"
