A 3-TONNER SUBSIDY TYPE LORRY

stood upon, all that is apparent is one slight crack in one ol 
the glasses, which docs not -interfere with my vision and, 
owing to the compound construction of the glass, cannot 
admit either wind or rain. Not only that, but one need 
never be afraid of losing one's sight by an accidental blow or 
an3^hing which may strike the goggles wliile they are in use. 
For aeroplane work they are very popular among the pilots 
and observers. 
The composition of Triplex, composed as it is of -alter- 
nating layers of glass and celluloid, makes it possible for a 
window to be dealt a heavy blow and for practically 
every bit of the glass to be " starred," and yet the window is 
still watertight and windproof. These very decided advan- 
tages are so obvious that a very large percentage of the cars 
now on order for motor transport work at the front have 
been fitted with Triplex exclusively, and it is quite a common 
thing nowadays to see staff cars running about fitted with 
this material. One of the headquarters' drivers told me 
that he had three wind-screens broken in as many weeks, and 
that a passenger had been so badly cut about the hands and 
face in the last smash that he had decided to do without a 
wind-screen altogether. However, the next time I saw him he 
was using the new glass, and seemed perfectly satisfied with it. 
There are innumerable other details which one could 
write about in connection with motor cars and accessories at 
the front, and their behaviour under this most strenuous 
test of all- — modern warfare — but space, unfortunately, does 
not permit. It is sufficient to say that the most important 
branch of the land service is the motor transport, and that 
the motor transport has done everything — and much more 
tiian was expected of it — that British motor manufacturers 
can turn round and say to the next man : " Our work is 
good ; it has ]iroved itself."
