Show Place for Extinguisher on the Running Board Where to put the extinguisher Is an open question. Under the dash is the customary place. But almost every motor car fire endangers this spot Flames sometimes envelop the extinguisher extin-guisher before the driver has a chance to unhook it. The most logical place, from the fire standpoint, is to place it on the running board, but this not only spoils the car's looks, but tempts children chil-dren to meddle with it. For roadsters, especially, the extinguisher can be carried car-ried on brackets at the base of the driver's seat In this position It is very handy. For touring cars a good place is the back of the front seat Here it is accessible, that Is the main thing. It would be less conspicious if painted black. And in winter It would be covered cov-ered by the robes. In this respect, however, use your own judgment. Motor Life. |
