Commer oil VT engine in London this week, Sir Reginald Rootes mentioned that it is to be built in the Tilling-Stevens works at Maidstone. New machine tools and assembly lines have been put down for large-scale production of the engine and all units are to be bench-tested in the Maidstone works.
Sir Reginald said the Commer oil engine was based on proved principles and combined the best characteristics of both the fourand two-stroke types. Illustrating its economy and efficiency. he said: "We can now operate a fullsized coach on a cheaper fuel and with a consumption no greater than that normally associated with a five-seater car."
