Having considered oil OF the

The bus was an ACF safety type
bus. This particular type Of vehi-
Gle does not have an engine under
a hood projecting from the front
end OF the machine. The front
end of the machine Is almost
level across and Is tipped back
from the base, and In the center
there Is q grill for radiation. Ths
engine In this bus Is a six-cylin-
der Hall-Scott gasoline motor, laid
on its side so that the top Of the
cylinders Is toward the outside OF
the bus on the left. or drivers,
side with the crankcase about IN
the center of the bus. The fuel
tank for the bus Is at about the
same position on the right side OF
the bus. The bus is equipped with
safety glass all around and the
metal comprising the sides Of the
bus is of an aluminium alloy
which is very strong and yet light.
The principal weight Of the bus Is
at the floor and below so as to
give the bus q ground clinging
tendency. The bus proceeded east
erly along its regular course
making its first stops to let pas
sengers alight from Mad River on,
and when It reached the Marion
road It was on schedule time. Be-
tween the point where the Marion
road crosses the Cheshire road
and the bridges at the foot OF the
hill there Is O curve to the right.
The bus did not make q stop at
the Marion road but continued
