The author has attempted to construct a plant embodying these

essentials, and the working drawing and photographs shown will give the

reader a tolerable idea of his "Mark V" model.

The thing has, at the moment of writing, only been experimentally tested

in one of the London parks. These trials were, however, sufficiently

satisfactory to encourage a belief that the new plant will prove a very

considerable improvement on the old. It has now been despatched to a

site in Surrey, there to undergo the searching and very practical test

of being used for the building of a small-holder's house and homestead.
