During the next outward stroke the piston ex-pels the spent gases through the exhaust valve, which isthen open. It will thus be seen that in the Steinbekerengine the pressure created by the partial explosion inthe ignition chamber takes the place of the high pressureproduced by the air compressor in the ordinary Dieselengine.

Front seats are also made detachablein some cases thus rendering more accessible parts located under thefloorboards. Folding backs facilitate access to rear seats. By M. W. Bourdon FOR many years, even prior to the war, there hasbeen evident a growing demand among Britishmotorists for a means of adjusting the front seatsso as to afford the most comfortable position for driversof various leg lengths. This demand is now being metby an increasing number of makers, some content tomake the two seats at the front an adjustable unit,others providing separate seats independently ad-justable. The la
