Commercial world circuit cuts world trip time by days
H R Ekins set a record of eighteen days eight hours for a round the world trip last October. A new commercial timetable offers a similar loop in sixteen days, starting in two weeks, with a shorter route of 21 600 miles though Ekins covered 24 720 miles. The effort tightens the route while a faster wire record for a full circuit remains at a quarter second.

New Coronation Books Pile Up In Spring Reading List
Publishers rush to cover the Coronation with biographies and guides. Hector Bolitho’s Royal Progress 1837 1937 and Coronation Commentary by Geoffrey Dennis lead a diverse lineup. J G Noppen’s Royal Westminster and the Coronation offers abbey history while E V Lucas’s London Afresh guides readers new to the city. Weidman’s I Can Get It For You Wholesale gets a wary skip for its bodily reference motifs.
