The seating is arranged for eight passengers and electric lights are fitted, also a small electric fan.

The commercial motor vehicle has achieved a triumph in the recent trials organised by the Royal Automobile Club. The trials were of the most exacting nature, and bave proved on- ́o'asively the efficiency of the now mode of road haulage.
