For the benefit of a number of readers who have written asking us for information respecting the lighter types of goods-carrying-units, we would particularly draw their attention to a number of important articles, introductory to the Light-van and Parcelcar Series, which are still current in our columns. The first instalment appeared in our issue dated 19th February, 1914.
The outstanding points considered in these articles were :—No. 1, Overloading. Underloaciing. Varying loads and axle weights. Cost and harness. No. 2, The tradesmen who can still use cycle delivery and those who cannot. No. 3, The attempt to supersede the horsed cart. The need for low. priced motor units. The work capacity of a horse. 1\l'o. 4, Some suggestions as to desirable capadity, power and type of construction. No. 5, The cost of running the 7-cwt. fourwheeler.
