PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS

Few practical suggestions are needed by the motorist in East Anglia--a district not presenting many difficulties. Those which are deemed necessary are here prefixed to the whole body of the text.

ABBREVIATIONS

R. signifies that there is a garage capable of doing
moderate repairs.

R. A. signifies that the facilities for repair are
abundant.

P. signifies that petrol can be purchased, but it has
not been considered needful to state this where the
existence of a garage renders a supply of petrol
certain.
