Transport: King's Daimler
To the stable of stately Daimlers used by Britain's King-Emperor was added last week a new car, prescribed by his physicians as a precaution against colds on State drives in England's damp winter weather. The new, maroon-bodied limousine has expansive glass windows, a glass roof panel, so that, whether the King's subjects are cheering from the curb or hanging out of windows, they can see him and his family.
The new car will be first used next month when the King goes to Newcastle for the launching of the new 35,000-ton battleship King George V. Safety feature of the new Daimler: the glass is bulletproof.
