As the metric system of measure- ment is practically universal on the Continent, automoblles intended for sale in this area should be equipped ‘with speedometers showing kilometers instead of miles, and this applies also to practically all the South American countries. The United Kingdom, Ire- land and the British colonies, how- ever, measure distance by miles, as in this country. Balloon Tires Favored.
