a newly designed motor vehicle for
passenger lines is described by Consul
General John i. Grifiths of London:
The police regulations for London
state that the motor omnibus best
adapted to the streets should weigh
less than the weight of the motor om-
nibuses now most generally used in
London, and they should not exceed %
feet in length.
a new form of motor omnibus. which
would comply with the police sugges- |
tfons, has just been built, after four
years experimentation. It's resemblance !
to touring car is due to the fact that |
wire wheels are used, with saving |
In weight of about 100 pounds on each |
wheel. but with an enormous gain in |
strength, S the solid rubber tires are |
directly on to the rims The |
new car is only 8 feet 10 inches in |
length, yet it will carry the same num- |
ber of passen gers s the present omni- |
bus, viz, Is inside and Is outside. On |
account of bridges and other obstacles |
the total height of a motor omnibus |
in London, may not exceed II feet
inches. The proposed motor omnibus
Is inches lower. and yet it has SO per
cent more ground clearance than regu-
lations require. 1t provides the pas
sengers with inches more width in |
the back of the seats than the present |
rules prescribe, while the height from
The floor to the roof inside is inches
more than required.
