Unique equipment is provided on this Erskjne six introduced in Britain. It provides all the comforts of home while on tour. Equipment includes bookcases, writing desk, talking machine, radio, two settees, and dining facilities for six per sons. A galley contains a sink, elaborate electric stove, and refrigerator. The bath affords running water and even a built-in shower.
But it was the English aviator, inventor, publisher, and Member of Parliament Noel Pemberton Billing who recaptured the spirit of this fictional design in his Road Yacht.
