MIND you, COMMERCIAL MOTOR has been Backing Britain in its own way for quite a long time. I have just had a postcard
from Moscow acknowledging regular receipt of the journal and hoping that "we shall continue this kind of co-operation beneficial to our two organizations".
The letter comes from the Institute of Scientific Information, USSR Academy of Sciences. We are not supplying politically or industrially suspect material, but simply spreading the good word about costing, vehicle design improvements and the effects of competition in a competitive society. You don't believe me? Then how about a few extracts, such as:— YAK 656.13.003

Among a hundred cuttings from the Soviet publications, I choose a final more appropriate one:—
