Australian engineering seeks world speed mark with rebuilt Silver Arrow
Rumors say Norman Smitt has secured a British Schweiger Cup engine via the Federal Government to power an Australian designed car by Gedney engineering. The 2000 hp unit, if accurate, could challenge Segrave’s 241.06 mph record on the Ninety Mile Beach in New Zealand next February.

Tyres and tubes imports fell in 1928 while exports rose, yielding a strong export surplus of 4.2 million pounds. Crude rubber consumption more than doubled, placing the UK behind the US in absorption and prompting calls for closer factory coordination, research, and standardized grades.

New Centrifugal Method for Sands Promises Oil Boom
The Edmondsen Journal reports a new centrifugal separation method to process bituminous sands along the Athabasca region.Chunks of sands enter the machine producing water, clean sand, and a black hydrocarbon stream including naphtha, fuel oil, kerosene, and asphalt. Estimated production cost near 50 cents per barrel suggests potential commercial oil supply.

Copper reserves questioned in historic mine survey
Engineers in 1908 and again in 1924 debated the copper content of a large mire, estimating 72 million tons initially and later noting substantial remaining ore. Despite early overestimates, the survey highlighted that workable copper increased over time as extraction lagged behind the ore growth.
