7PHE construction of urban motor
' ways may be highly desirable for the efficient operation of essential traffic, but American experience has shown that they often generate huge volumes of private-car traffic, so that they cease to function at maximum efficiency in peak periods and may even aggravate the traffic problem in central areas.
This is one of the main conclusions in a booklet, "Solving Traffic Problems" (P.E.P., 2s. 6d.), in which political and economic planning have drawn upon American experience of the main proposals for curing traffic congestion in Britain.
P.E.P. state that it may be necessary to make a distinction between "traffic of economic priority" and other traffic, and to preserve the capacity of the urban motorways for the former by regulation.
'Me booklet says that a proper balance must be achieved between public and. private transport. Public transport must be enabled to compete' in speed and comfort with the private car.
in metropolitan areas, all transport facilities must be planned and operated as parts of an integrated system. 1 ransport needs must be related to land use, and land use planning co-ordinated with the planning of transport facilities.
NEW SLIDING WINDOW ANEW type of slider-section window has been produced by Howard Clayton Wright, Ltd., Wellesbourne, Warwicks. Heavy and light rubber sections are available for fitting. The light section matches that employed for fixed windows. Cla.tonrite rigid channel is supplied formed to shape.
A part-section view of the eiectropneumatic valve unit employed in the C.A. V. electrical gear-change control, described in "The Commercial Motor" last week. There are five double valves. Each pair, when actuated by the plunger of an electrical solenoid, diverts compressed air from a common inlet gallery to one of five outlets, the union connections of which can be seen, Solenoid contra! is by a small lever and selector switch mounted beneath the steering wheel.
Gyro-bus Service Starts
in Belgium
ASERVICE worked by Swiss OerIikon gyro-buses has started in Belgium. The vehicles are similar to some which have been operating in the Belgian Congo for a year. For a 70seater, estimated current consumption is 2kW. hr. per kilometre.
In the Congo, where hydro-electric power is cheap, gyro-buses cost less to run than oil-engined buses.
