ST 1 |72 We can be sure that much attention will be paid to safety and comfort factors in car design, inclyding elimination of blind spots and reflections in wind- shield mounting and location; to more efficlent trans- missions, and to greater accessibility for radiator and battery servicing. The experts appear to be largely of the opinion that horsepower in excess of 100 is not required and that engine design for speeds above sixty miles an hour is not an essential for the average automobile, provided good acceleration and per- formance in the lower speed ranges can be assured.
