BIGGER CARS IN DEMAND

One of the many satisfactory signs of the times is a r&newed demand for the bigger and more costly types of car which has been experieneed by several famous British concerns during the last few months (says Motor). Another is the steady incraase in export trade. It cannot be douhted that the success of the British motor induistry during a most difficult period has heen in no small measure due to the activity with' which teehnical dsvelopments hav'a been pressed forward, particu- ! larly in respect of the transmission. No other country can yet show models in production which embody mechanical innovations so important and farreaching as, say, the self-changing gear-box and fluid flywheel. Nevertheless (continues Motor), it , will behov'e our engineers to maintain the pace already set if they are to continue to lival their competitors. The American cars displayed at the New York show embodied more novelties than lever before, and Contintental designers have been actively developing improved sparking systems of fun- ! damental importance. All of which goas to show that motor car design is still far from reaching finality.
