A separate lead is also taken toa point over the timing chain, which is rendered adjust-able by mounting the magneto on a slotted bracket be-hind the timing case on the left side and this providingmeans to take up slack. In addition to the drivingsprocket at the front end of the crankshaft there is aworm wheel engaging below it a worm gear on a trans- April 7, 1921 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTHE AUTOMOBILE 743. Upper deck with seats for 28 on the new S type London om-nibus verse shaft. This drives through a flexible coupling, thelighting dynamo which supplies current for interior andexterior illumination. The grouping of the engine accessories and valves isentirely on the left side of the engine, so as to makethese accessible upon raising that side of the hood, for,as in the K type bus, the drivers position is slightlyabove and alongside the engine on the right. Thus wefind the exhaust manifold carried higher than the inletbranch on the left. The two are separate units and theinlet branch is completely water jacketed almost downto the carbureter flange. The carbureter is a Zenithwithout hot air supply, the jacketing of the branch be-ing alone depended upon for vaporization of the filler and oil level rod are also on the left. The mag-neto is entirely inclosed by a cast aluminum cover, whichnot only protects the magneto from water, but pre
