An English effort seeks to influence Britain to release more rubber under Stevenson restrictions to lower motor and cycle prices. Australia’s Melbourne to Adelaide to Port Darwin motor truck expedition, by W Dunkerley, demonstrated central Australia transport potential with a 6 ton Dunlop truck on a 6200 mile route. Royal Automobile Club of Victoria sets March 11 to 20 for a 1350 mile Al Dine Reliability Motor Car Contest in two sections. English driver G M Campbell set a 152.4 mph world record on Pendine Sands in a Sunbeam, with averages around 150 mph.
