| Description: | GEARLESS CAR DESCRIBED. Various shots of a new gearless car being driven by the two engineers that developed it: Professor Lee of Sheffield University and Commandant Piero Salerni of Italy. Professor Lee stands beside the open hood and explains how the car works, and shows us there are just two pedals inside and a stick for reversing purposes. High angle shot from the back of a moving vehicle of the engineers driving some other men along a road in the car. This is probably the first 'automatic' car. | |
