Abstract: An air conditioner for vehicles in which the probability of executing pre-air conditioning is increased so that it may be prevented that the inside of the vehicle cannot be often in a comfortable state before the driver gets into the vehicle. The air conditioner performs air conditioning of a vehicle having a traveling motor and an engine as drive sources and comprises a pre-air conditioning main switch. The crew permits operation of pre-air conditioning by turning the switch on. When the pre-air conditioning main switch is set on, an engine control section performs charge preference control where battery charge takes precedence of engine fuel consumption and performs normal control where engine fuel consumption takes precedence when the pre-air conditioning main switch is set off.

Abstract: A signal interference prevention wiring is disposed between two wirings which are arranged in parallel for transmitting a signal, and the signal interference prevention wiring is held at a constant potential.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R represents hydrogen, alkyl or aralkyl, and R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 denote identical or different radicals hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, cycloalkenylalkyl, aralkyl or aryl, both being monosubstituted, disubstituted or trisubstituted in the aryl moiety by alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, halogen, nitro, methylenedioxy and/or cyano, or in which two of the radicals R.sup.1 to R.sup.6, together with the carbon atom(s) bearing them form a monocyclic or bicyclic ring system, and the remaining radicals are hydrogen, which process comprises converting, with an oxidizing agent in the presence of a silver salt, a pyrrolidine derivative of the formula II into a .DELTA..sup.1 -pyrroline derivative of the formula III, reacting the latter with hydrogen cyanide or a metal cyanide to form a nitrile of the formula IV, and subjecting the latter to solvolysis with a compound of the formula ROH.
