Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: main portion of the body, or the whole seating may be arranged without any division at all, in which case there is usually a single entrance each side only. These bodies may be subdivided under the heads mentioned under No. 14. The term " pullman," " saloon," and so on, is also used indiscriminately in connection with these bodies, as with large limousines.

The above varieties will be found to include all modern cars. The sociable, barouche, four-in-hand coach, canoe landau, Stanhope phaeton, and other horse-drawn carriage types, have been adopted to motor traction in a few instances, but not in sufficient numbers to b...
