APPL1CATION forms are now available from the Passenger Vehicle Operators' Association for carnets de bord for British coaches travelling in France. All coaches entering France must now have a carnet, and the current ones expire on December 31.

New carnets for 1953 are being issued by the P.V.O.A. on behalf of the French Government and no carnet is valid unless the front page has been completed by the P.V.O.A. An application form must be filled in for each vehicle for which a carnet is necessary and a fee of 5s. is charged for each one.

ARGENTINE ENGINEERS AT LEYLAND

SV< senior members of the technical engineering staff of the Argentine Ministry of Transport in Buenos Aires have begun a four-week course at the headquarters factories of Leyland Motors, Ltd. They are studying methods employed in the manufacture and assembly of the 900 underfloorengined buses ordered by their department last year.

Before returning, the engineers will spend a few weeks at the Birmingham and Addlestone factories of Metropolitan-Cammell-Weymann, Ltd., joint maker with Leyland of the Olympic chassisless bus, and at the fuel-pump factory of CA.V., Ltd. Early in the New Year, another party of Argentine Ministry of Transport engineers will visit this country on a similar mission.

GOODYEAR FINED /60 FOR STEEL

DEAL

AFINE of £60, with £26 5s. costs, was imposed on the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Co. (Great Britain), Ltd., by Wolverhampton magistrates, last week, for buying steel at a price greater than the maximum. The chief buyer and the engineering buyer were also fined.

The company pleaded guilty to buying 13 tons 16 cwt. 1 qr. of steel at £729 10s. 9d., when the maximum controlled price was £454 les. 3d.

The stipendiary said that the company had obviously found itself in desperate straits at a time of difficulty. He was satisfied that there was no deliberate attempt to defraud. The concern had been motivated by patriotism.

ABOLISH CONCESSION FARES A LL concession fares, except those for children, should be abolished, it was decided at a brains trust held by the Midland branch of the Omnibus Society in Birmingham, last week. Abolition of workmen's fares would reduce peak loads without depleting the overall traffic volume, because numbers of women shoppers enjoyed the concession, thereby adding to the congestion at a time when vehicles were werking to full capacity.
