CARE OF BATTERY CABLE.
"Every few months it is well to trace the heavy cable from the but- tory to the startor-motor, making sure that it is not rubbing against the floor boards on any metal parts This precaution will save much trouble and expense.
MUST PRACTICE

Proved in the finest Testing Plant
in Europe
·UPERLATIVES are much-tried words in adver-
justice to the Morris Engine Testing Plant. For this plant is literally the finest of its kind in Europe. · Herc fifty-six electrical dynamotor machines operate seventeen hours per day making sure that every Morris engine is up to the high standard set for it. And in addition to the production test plant there is gathered daily a wealth of valuable data by the Engine Research Department of Morris Motors. The plant itself is of minor interest to the non- technical owner of a Morris. What does concern him is the very wonderful results obtained thereby, in the form of the world's outstanding small car value.
