In the centre, at right angles to the axle, is a "well" about 18 in. deep, used for carrying parcels or small luggage and covered with a lid which is usually furnished with a cushion. The well provides a low back to each of the two seats, which are in the form of wings placed over each wheel, with foot boards hanging outside the wheel on hinges, so that when not in use they can be turned up over the seats, thus reducing the width of the car and protecting the seats from the weather. The passengers on each side sit with their backs to each other, with the "well" between them. The driver sits on a dicky. ©© Published under Creative Commons in the Metapolisz DVD line.
