Equally effective in stopping a car, and far more serious in its after-effects, is a sudden shortage of water. On seeing dense clouds of steam issue from the radiator, to the accompaniment of an eerie bubbling noise, it is advisable to halt and let the vehicle simmer down, even if it makes one late for tea with an affluent aunt in Dulwich. Denied a regular water-supply, car engines get red hot and fall out on the road in a molten mass, quite pretty to look at but useless for propulsive purposes. The car-owner who likes to prepare for all contingencies, therefore, is urged to carry an auxiliary water-tank from which the radiator can be refilled as necessary by means of a piston operated from and by the driving-seat, as illustrated. Apart from its value as an anti-calamity influence, this device is a boon to footballers and others who wish to develop their calf muscles.
