The work is carried out by men of long experience, each a specialist at his own craft, and the resources of the Company’s various other Depts.—comprising the finest plant in the Country devoted to Automobile Repairs—are available as required, i.e., Cylinder Grinding, Crankshaft Grinding, Welding, etc., etc.

The actual B.H.P. developed at vadous speeds is recorded and no engine is passed off the test bench until its performance is satisfactory in all respects.
The foregoing are a few of the reasons why the car owner, having entrusted this important work to Laystall, can look forward with absolute confidence to results.
