NERACAR
"SAFETY
FIRST.
For safety, Roliability, Strength. Cleanliness and Economy the “NERACAR" stands unrivalled.
The "NERACAR" was not built for excessive speed: On plain level roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles, whilst on hills--such as the Chin Wan Hill-it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials.. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on 'evel roads ur 20 miles up hills, the "NERACAR has a reserve speed. which is quite ample.
A
The "NERACAR" was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced, light two-whooled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The "NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles 1

It was connected up with a small control panel on the left side of the compartment and con- cealed in the upholstery. This panel included a filament lighting switch, adjustable tuner arm to four studs, tuning condenser, and below there were plugs, in sockets for four telephones df 2.000 ohm's resistance.

Three-The ball is in play in this case, in fact, is always In play when the umpire is actually hit by a thrown ball."
FourIt is not necessary to inako an appeal in order to have the umpire call a balk. It is up to the umpire to render Immediate decision when he believes the pitcher has so off- ended.
