Automobile Notes
Of Won HamTl--Y Young Co.

truck in the United states for light |
work. This machine is double |
chain drive, two-cylinder, double |
opposed machine with starting crank |
and radiator in front, which is easy
of access. One of the greatest fea-
lures of this machine is the. installa-
ton of a governor which works on
the throttle, which may be set for
any speed and locked. This is some
thing new, and very reliable, as the
trouble with trucks has been that
they have been driven altogether too
fast, and with this locking device
the owner may set the governor and
the car cannot possibly be driven at
any greater speed, while at the same
time the throttle may be opened to
its full extent when it's utmost power
is required. Most governors have
previously been operated by the
water pump, which has not been
quick enough for the gasoline engine
to act upon, while this new feature
is operated from the crank shaft.
Many of the dealers in Honolulu are
contemplating the purchase of some
Buick light delivery trucks, as these
have proven themselves so very sue
cessful.
