THE French Govern-
ment has adopted for
the use of the army a side-
car ambulance, which, in
many respects, is superior
to the other types here-
tofore used. It is built of
light material and is large
enough to accommodate
but one stretcher. Win-
dows with removable cur-
tains are provided to en-
able the patient to look out
while lying on the cot or
stretcher. The cot can also
be so arranged that the
patient may sit up. An electric bell con-
nects him with the driver of the motor-
cycle, who also acts as nurse.
One considerable advantage of this
type of ambulance is that patients may
be transported in it- while sitting -or -re-
clining and that they can obtain not only
all the sunlight and fresh air they desire,
but also an unobstructed view of the
country “through which they pass on
their way to the rear. No extra attendant
is necessary except in cases where the
patient needs close attention.
It is hardly practicable’ to
It is hardly practicable’ to
employ one am-
bulance driver for
one wounded man,
as a-rule. Hence
it may be assumed
that the vehicle is
used only for ex-
ceptional cases.
