AN agreement has been signed under the terms of which F. Perkins, Ltd., may manufacture NSU-Wankel rotary engines under licence in the United Kingdom. The agreemerit was reached with the patent holders, NSU Motorenwerke, A.G. and Wankel G.m.b.H., and enables Perkins to manufacture petrol marine engines and diesel units. A Perkins spokesman said earlier this week, "Asthe company plans to undertake extensive development work on these motors it is unlikely that they will be marketed for some time."
No Wankel engines are at present being built on a production basis in Europe as yet, although Curtiss-Wright of America are manufacturing large units embodying the Wankel principle. Several experimental engines have, however, been giving satisfactory results in private cars.
Traffic Level Dangerously Low
PROPOSALS for increased fares, estimated to bring in revenue of .C137,341, were granted to the North Western Road Car Co., Ltd., and their joint operators at Stockport on Tuesday. The principal reason for the increases was to offset expenditure amounting to £163,722, 1109,770 of which had resulted from the recent wage award to the staff.
Mr. D. L. Fytche, traffic manager of the company. said that since their last fares increase in July, 1960, the number of passengers had decreased, and stage carriage traffic was now being carried at a dangerously low level. Revenue of £150,000 had been expected from the last fares increase but it had only brought in £120,000.
Tipper Granted
In-A T Carlisle on Monday, the deputy Northern Licensing Authority granted an additional tipper on A licence to J. A. Pickthall and Sons, of Cleator Moor. Mr. H. Pickthall, a partner, said: "This vehicle will be fully employed. I've spent £18,000 on hired haulage."
The deputy Authority, Mr. G. W. Duncan, said: "The figures produced have shown a tremendous increase in business. I don't see why an old established firm like this, carrying a wide variety of goods, should be restricted.
EXCESS FUEL REGULATIONS WHEN the new Regulations dealing WV with the excess fuel device on diesel engines comes into force at the beginning of next year, controls on existing vehicles will have to be removed from the cab by the following July.
Announcing this in the Commons last week, the Minister of Transport said that from the beginning of 1962 it would be illegal for a driver to use the excess fuel device while the vehicle was in motion, or for the device's control to be placed in the cab of new vehicles.
