A plastics self-coloured mudguard known as the Featherwing Supreme produced by Boydell and Jacks is claimed to be an improvement on the company's original type of thermoplastics mudguard. It is said to be exceptionally tough and to be highly resistant to fatigue and the action of corrosives, and to be approximately half the weight of a conventional mudguard.
The mudguard is available in sections suitable for single and tandem axles, a trimmable straight section being included in the tandem type. A normal type of bracket provides adequate support without bracing. Standard units are supplied with black impregnation but any colour may be specified if a quantity is ordered.
Made by: Boydell and Jacks Ltd, 77 Union Rd, Bolton, Lancs. A low-cost lightweight 3in. portable pumping outfit which is claimed to be able to do the work of three 2in. pumps has been developed by Warwick Pump and Engineering Co Ltd. The unit is called the 3in. Super Spitfire and with a weight of 67Ib is lighter than many 2in. pumps.
The pump is of the self-priming centrifugal type with a 3in. bore outlet. It has a maximum throughput of over 18,000gal an hour or 10,000 gal at 50ft head. Construction is of heavyduty steel designed to give a long working life and the impeller, which is screwed directly on the engine crankshaft, is made of bronze.
Water is drawn in by the impeller through the suction inlet from a maximum vertical depth of 25ft and the pump can
