Section Title: How Time Flies!
Researcher Comments: Commentary: How Time Flies! With war-time and petrol rationing again, here’s a car that doesn’t need gas at all. It runs on juice. And how it can run! Round and round and round ... OK driver, we come out here. [/2] The design of this all-electric is as modern as tomorrow. And won’t women drivers go for it in a big way? Look how easy it is to park. There’s only one front wheel, and it can be swung into a close-fitting kerb in less than no time. And that front wheel is a driving wheel. [Tram] Built to meet essential services such as tradesman’s transport, this sixty-mile-an-hour electric bus was designed by the man who created the Iron Lung for the treatment of paralysis. He’s tackled two vital problems, [Car to] and he’s solved them ... BOTH.
