| (2) We understand that such fittings can be bought. The squab-bing of the driving seat should not be too luxurious, and both seats should have toe space underneath them for the rear passengers, as shewn in the sketch. The windscreen top glass is a common danger to humanity, and a disgrace to any car. One would have thought that by now we should have known what is the best windscreen, and at least fitted it to all the cars which pass through our hands. The type of clamp holding the glass open which is about 9" from the side of the screen along the top tube is useless. We have previously complained of a similar screen on 6.Goshawk which we have here. Of all the fixings this seems to be the worst. What is the objection to the "Auster" type which we liked?
