Spiral Tube and Components Co., 61, Northdown Street, King's Cross, London, N.
1431 RADIATOR SUPPLIES. [143
Radiators are the principal feature on this stand. These are chiefly of the cast-tank type, and they embody the well-known spiral-tube construction. A great degree of efficiency is claimed for this class of construction, together with a much greater amount of strength than is obtained with the plain type of tube. Many of the leading motor manufacturing companies in the country fit this maker's tubes to their radiators, and prominent amongst these we may mention the L.G.O. and the National Steam Car Co. Coils of spiral tubing and radiators, together with a special type of radiator intended to withstand the effect of unusual vibration, are also attractively displayed on the stand.
J. Tylor and Sons, Ltd., Belle Isle, York Road, London, N.
117] ENGINES MU COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. 1147
The excellent examples of engines shown by this London company prove at once that the manufacturer has had long experience in commercial vehicle engine construction. Having built engines for the
trade since 1916,( it goes without saying that this concern holds a leading position in the industry. The company manufactures seven different types of engines, but only three are on view, These consist of ,I5-50 b.h.p., 35-40 b.b.p., and 18-20 b.h.p. models. The largest type has been adopted by the War Office, and a contract for no less than 100 engines is now going through the works. It is interesting to note that the company carries on its own foundry to ensure
obtaining the best quality of mixture in the castings. Tylor engines are fitted on the Karrier and DurhamChurchill cars at Olympia. We described and illustrated these models ia our issue dated 'Nth June, page 397.
R. Terrell and Co., 9, Regent Street, W.
DS] COMMERCIAL-VEHICLE LAMPS. [98 At this stand we found Mr. R. Terrell in attendance at an early hour. The special cast-aluminium E.C.L. lamp, which is made in three pieces-, is one of the exhibitS which visitors should first examine: It has no rivets, solder, or sweated joints, and is one of the few acetylene lamps which is guaranteed for two years, whether used on steel-tired or rubber-shod vehicles. The price is practically the ,same as that of any of the built-up lamps. Another speCial feature is a long range of E.C.L. generators varying in size from one suitable for lighting the largest type of omnibus to that for a small parcelear. These are enclosed in a strong metal case, and employ the wick system of gas generation. By this means, the maker -claims that just the required amount of gas is generated, no matter how many lamps are being supplied. This is a strong point in favour of the employment of the Terrell generators.
All the L. and N.W. Railway omnibuses are now fitted with E.C.L. lighting systems. Other note
worthy users are the L.C.O., which has over 700 in actual service; Tillings, Ltd., over 200, and other owners are Harrods,. Ltd.,Piekforsrs, Ltd., C. W; _Railway, and well-known firms of drapers.

12:?] RELIABLE BALL BEARINGS. [122
There is little new that we can say regarding the Torino products. Once again this manufacturer demonstrates in convincing manner the all-round effi, ciency of its self-aligning ball-bearings. At the same time, the attention of the chassis builder is called to the numerous types of load and thrust ball-beariugs whieh represent so great a part of the Tornio output. Great emphasis is placed by the maker upon the accurate testing methods employed in the production of these accessories. A further point made is the high quality of the materials employed, while, as regards price, the large output and the highlystandardized methods of jigs and gauges in force render these products a formidable competitor of other types of similar components.
