As a result of the improvements and additions effected within recent years to our system of roads, existing maps, even those published only a few years ago, have become out of date, and to meet the demand of present-day users, a new road map of England and Wales has been expressly designed and is being produced by George Philip and Son, Ltd., 32, Fleet Street, London, E.C.4,
with the active co-operation of the Royal Automobile Club.
Al! roads with their official numbers as classified by the Ministry of Transport under headings A and R roads are marked on the map, the former being shown by red lines and the latter by green lines. Main through routes recommended by the touring department of the R.A.C. are indicated by broader
lines, whilst a large number of roads outside the classification but suitable for use by motor vehicles, has been inserted for those who prefer not to utilize the more crowded main thoroughfares. The scale is 1 4) 201),000, or approximately three miles to the inch, and there are 10 sheets, of which eight are available. Each sheet is sold at 3s. 6d. net, cloth folded, or 5s. 6d. net, cloth dissected.
