MOTOR CARS ON A COUNTRY ROAD IN HEREFORDSHIRE. No other class of machinery has witnessed such extraordinary improvement and development within the last few years as that designed for self-propelled traction on ordinary roads. Despite the short time since motor cars were introduced, it has been estimated that the value of those now running in the United Kingdom is not less than fifteen millions sterling.

Many experiments have been made to overcome this difficulty, but the dust problem still remains unsolved. (Page 5.)
