New Motorcycle Ambulance.

A motorcycle ambulance, illustrated
in Popular Mechanics Magazine, has
been built for use abroad, and en-
bodies many new refinements of de-
sign. The sidecar will carry two dis
abled men on stretchers, one above the
other, and is equipped with rounded
top, hinged to one side of the steel
framework so that it can be turned
back for loading and unloading. A
canvas covering, which attaches to the
sides, bowed top and ends like a side
curtain, affords complete protection
against the weather for the men on
the stretchers.
