Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

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. (16) Wagonettes.?:The
essential feature of a wagonette is that the seats, in the main
portion of the body, shall be arranged longitudinally. A hind
entrance is usually adopted, although in some shooting brakes side
entrances may also be provided. Lons- dale wagonettes have a
folding head working in the same way as a landau (see No. 11), and
the end view is therefore practically the same as a side view of
that type of body, while the side elevation corresponds to the back
or front view of a landau. By this means one obtains the advantages
of a landau on a short wheel-base. (17) Omnibuses.?A wagonette with
a fixed or removed top fitted to it becomes an omnibus. The lights
may be made to slide, hinge, or drop according to the design.
Wagonettes and omnibuses, having hind entrances, do not find much
favour as private vehicles. (18) Dog-eart Phaetons.?Although
largely used during the first two or three years of motoring, the
Jackson car is about the only modern instance where a body with
bent sides, or other characteristics of the countless varieties of
two and four-wheeled dogcarts, having both seats facing generally
forwards, and not back-to- back, is used. 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...
