Public Notices, For highway, byway and crowded streets there is no safer, surer, more comfortable cyclecar than the HUMBERETTE RIMRBHMIIHMHBBnDianHMHM It provides the cheapest form of comfortable motoring, and is so simply controlled that the veriest novice can drive it after a few minutes instruction. WITH HOOD, SCREEN, HORN, HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LAMP, ALL COMPLETE £ 1 25. This little Car can be seen with the District Agents, is Em NOTT & co., LIMITED, High Streets and Ship Street, tt t a BRECON. Repr-inted from the "Motor News" June 7th, 1913 :— pROM time to time I have heard ■ doubt expressed as to whether the air-cooled engine fitted to the Humberette will overheat on long mountain passes. It may interest our readers to know that last Satur- day I climbed to the top of the Featherbed Mountain via Glendhu without any sign of heating what- ever. I called a halt at Glendhu Bridge and lifted the bonnet, and found that water dropped on the cylinder head only fizzled and did not flash into steam, as would happen if the engine were over- heated. This particular section of the climb is very trying. On very many occasions I have overheated here when driving cars with water- cooled engines, and I know many motorists who have had a similar experience. It is due to the length and severity of the climb and the sheltered nature of the valley. On the descent from the top of the Featherbed to Glencree I was greatly surprised at the smoothness with which the Humberette ran over the atrocious surface. I travelled faster than I ever did befoie over this sec- tion and with more comfort. The little car seemed to take the bumps and hollows softly and smoothly, the springing certainly being excellent."
