AFTER being held for the past two years at Cambridge, the Royal Show this year moves to Newcastle. upon Tyne. The Royal has already been held at Newcastle more times than at any other place—this is its eighth visit —but the 1962 Show is likely to be the last in the North of England, for the Royal Agricultural Society plan to establish a permanent site in the Midlands.

Equipment Among the wide range of equipment and accessories which Simms Motor Units, Ltd., are showing on Stand C.53 is a new alternator, displayed for the first time. This is a 1,750-watt, 24-volt A.C. generating unit weighing only 40 lb. —some 50 lb. lighter than an equivalent D.C. dynamo. It has built-in diodes and has the advantage that it will produce 60-70 amps even when the driving unit is only ticking over. Its ability to give maximum charge for long periods when the engine is idling is especially valuable for vehicles engaged, for example, on bulk milk collection. The new generator is available' with a new, completely transistorized output control system.
