The cars were tested on the ordinary flway track running from Saint- rnoult to Coltainville, near Paris. No noise could be heard when the car started and the feeling was that of a plane traveling in calm weather. The acceleration was great. In less than | 200 yards a speed of 60 miles an hour | was 'attained. The bends were taken 8t 60 miles an hour without the slightest discomfort and on straight lines over | 70 miles was acbieved. Seated in comfortable armchairs, pas. sengers conversed with ease. There was no shock and one could not detect where the rails joined. Brakes took hold within 110 yards and the cars | stopped as easily as motor coaches. Level crossings were passed at a low speed. The fuel consumption was low.
