Keep Your Tyres THE vital importance of
at the Correct maintaining the correct Pressure pre,ssure in pneumatic tyres is not always fully appreciated by operators. The variation of only a few pounds, particularly with a low-pressure tyre, may make all the difference between economic and uneconomic running, apart from such considerations as comfort, freedom from rolling, etc. It does not do to rely solely upon gauges in the air line or on the air tower or compressor, because in the latter two cases the space holding the air is considerably increased.
An \Aid for the Impor'MEMBERSHIP of the Institant Work of the I VI tute of Export is increasing Exporter rapidly, and now stands at 350, although the 'body was inaugurated only ten months ago. It shows the need for an organization devoted solely to the interests of the export trade and those engaged in it. It has long been realized that there is, in many quarters, an c18 appalling ignorance of the overseas markets and of the problems which the exporter has to elucidate. To facilitate the work, the education department of the Institute, in collaboration with leading educationalists, has drawn up special courses of instruction in export subjects, so that recruits to the trade can enter it with recognized qualifications.
A London View of IT was an excellent idea of the Scottish Show 'Duple concern to stage a pre
Exhibits view of Scottish Show exhibits for which it has built the• bodies in the new and capacious shop recently added to its factory at Hendon. London, and the company's enterprise was well rewarded by an attendance of several hundred passenger-vehicle operators. Invitations to inspect the exhibits were sent only to those interested south of Birmingham. The Duple shops are certainly a .hive of activity these days, and bear witness to the flourishing state of the coaching .industry, despite railway efforts at strangulation.
A SIM p le Mord to DE-HAULAGE was a word Describe Traffic "coined by a witness at Transference . . . Leicester traffic court to
,describe traffic handed by one-operator to another who served an area not covered by the first. The witness concerned was analysing accounts he had prepared to support an application for a further vehicle by a Leicester parcels-express firm. Mr. J. H. Stirk, the Licensing Authority, remarked that the word was very apt to describe transfers of goods carried, as apart from hiring arrangements.
A Novel Scheme A NOVEL scheme to assist
to Facilitate Hireoperators to obtain their purchase vehicles on the hire-purchase system has been arranged by Dennis Contracts, Ltd. It is often comparatively easy to meet fairly heavy monthly payments while a machine is in new condition, but difficulties may arise when bills for tyre replacements, overhauls, etc„ have to be met. The scheme covers 30 months, after 10 of which the payments are halved for the rest of the period. Another development is an agreement for 20 months with the option that when the first 10 payments have been made the contract can be extended to the full 30 months, thus halving the payments. The scheme of course, applies only to Dennis vehicles.
Fares Reach Lowest
Ebb on American UNRESTRICTED camped
tion in America has resulted travel enormous distances by coach at absurdly small cost. Competing with the railways, some operators include free meals en route and some of the fares quoted make one wonder how it is possible for coach concerns to keep their businesses going. Examples we saw recently showed that one can travel by coach from New York to Chicago, 827 miles, for 22 12s.; or to Miami, 1,405 miles, for 23 12s. The trip to Los Angeles, right across the continent and a distance of 3,094 miles, was quoted at £7 12s.
