(International Nawiroet) Sleeping Births A d Everything In Big Motor Eases Of California Kitchens, Meals In Room And Other Conveniences Of New Bos Line. October will see the inauguration, between Cos Angeles and San Fran-, cisco, of the first sleeping coach service yet offered by the automo tive industry. At the present time motor busses engaged in night runs do not pro vide Pullman-lihe accomodations— passengers must sleep sitting up— but a California stage system has developed the world's pioneer pass enger auto sleeping coach. As more of these cars are completed they will be put into service between other Pacific coast cities and, event ually, In trans-continental travel. The **nitccoach” as it is call'd, has sleeping quarters for 26 peo ple or seats for 44 day passengers. Of distinctive design, it contains 13 compartments, a lavatory, over hanging deck, and offers dining ser vice and other unusual . features, every bit of space is utilized. There Is no hood because the driver's compartment is buxjt di rectly over the motor. The ingen uity of the builders enables* the upper and lower decks to undcr lock so that the height of the car Is actually only a few inches above the ordinary large passenger bus. This is accomplished by having the' center aisle located halfway between the floor of the upper and lower decks. Yet the aisle headroom is seven feet and width 22 inches. By drawing curtains, each com partment becomes a private state room, with a three-paneled window extending its full length. These windows ore moveable and have both shades and drawn curtains lor privacy. In each compartment there is a built-in thermos Jug. mirror and wash basin with running water. Two sliding drawers, measuring 14 by 17 inches, are for clothing and per sonal effects. Suitcases and lug gage are stored elsewhere. Every compartment has an adjoining dressing room which, being feet four inches high, allows occu pants to stand upright while dress ing. In a compact kitchenette in front of the car a steward prepax fs hot meals to order. These arc served on trays to passengers in their com partments. Ventilation is assured by portholes around the car aided by electric fans. The “nitecoach is ol odd. con- j struction because it has no chassis; as the word is generally understood.; the frame and body being built a a unit. A heavy steel I-beam ex tends around the outside edge oi the car to serve as a protective barrier for passengers on the lower deck. The coach measures 34 fee?, four inches in length, is eight feet wide and 10 feet three inches high. It weighs only 14.000 pounds, dub to the generous use of duralium. The 110 horsepower motor is of in terest because by loosening a few bolts and disconnecting oil, gas and electric lines it can be removed from the car in short order. The completed car represents an ex penditure of about $30,000.
