- Summary
- COI synopsis: ‘Carrousel Britanico’ watches sleek new scooters being manufactured in a factory at Coventry in the English Midlands. These machines are similar to conventional models in appearance, but they are something of a technical revolution as all the gears are automatic. Riding out into Coventry, one is able to see this city of modern buildings and spacious streets, where a new cathedral has grown up from the bombed ruins of the old.
