Tubes, Ltd, Head Office and Works : Birmingham.
The increase of live-axle-driven machines has afforded this tube specialist its opportunity, and some very excellent. examples of swaged tubes for including the differential propeller and torque shafts can be attributed to the company.
The composition of the sleeves is of such a nature as to afford efficient and long service in parts subjected to either load bearing or torque, and this company's high-grade nickelsteel weldless coverings are being ordered by most of the leading chassis builders of the day.

The advantages which welded-steel tanks, barrels, drums stud other receptacles, for holding petrol, oils, chemical pro(Mots, etc., possess over the older form of riveted types are
now well recognized. This comnany has for many years specialized in the manufacture of electrically-welded steel barrels and tanks, both for storage and distribution of all classes of spirit and oils.
The high-class quality. of its productions is evidenced by the fact that, to date, over 150 storage plants have been supplied.
All receptacles are evaporation proof and absolutely free from leakage; the company's measuring tanks are stamped as correct by the Weights and Measures Authority, and wear and tear has no effect upon their accuracy. Steel Barrel Co.'s productions have proved highly satisfactory for the transporting of highly inflammable liquids and chemical products which are exceedingly difficult to deal with.
Tanksfor motorboats are also supplied fully approved of by he Admiralty, Board of Trade and Lloyd's.
R. Terrell and Co.

Specializing in the manufacture of lighting outfits solely for the commercial vehicle, this maker is consequently in a position to supply lighting outfits for the business machine suitable for all conditions of working, both at home and Overseas. A feature of the E.C.L. installation is that the body of the projector is constructed of cast aluminium, and no sweated jOnts, rivets or solder are used in the manufacture. Kach lamp is fitted with a Mangin lens mirror.
The generator itself is quite automatic in action, and it is claimed that a greater percentage of gas is obtained from the earbide used than with many generators on the market, the reason being that a comparatively-dry gas is produced by using a minimum amount of water, the supply of the liquid being regulated by the pressure of the gas itself.
Two sizes of E.C.L. generator are made. No. 1 is suitablo for motorbuses, eleers-a-banes, mail vans, etc., and will generate 20 cubic ft. of gas and maintain the lighting of a motorbus for 28 hours.
No. 2 size is suitable for any type of goods-carrying vehicle, :old one sole generator and 10 cubic ft. of gas will maintain three lights for eight hours.
No fewer than 750 E.O.L. lighting sets have been supplied to the L.G.O.C. This fact in itself affords ample evidence of the satisfactory working of Terrell productions. A Terrell cast lamp. Stringer and Co. (Sheffield), Ltd.

In the matter Of the construction of crankshafts it is gener ally recognized that such important components are often well left, to the manufacture of the specialist, This particular company has had many years' experience in the design and construction of crankshafts suitable for all branches of the engineering and steam inastries, and single, internal-combustion, two-throw, four-throw, and, six-throw crankshafts are constructed either of high-tensile or nickel steel.
C. A, Vandervell and Co.
OfficWe a,nd Works : Warple Way, Acton Vale, London, The constantly increasing demand for electric lighting ano starting sets, as adapted to both the industrial and pleasurt classes of vehicle, has caused many reliable outfits to be mar keted.
The types introduced by this old-established electrical engineering concern are of proved merit, having met with a considerable amount of favour both in Ilipaland and on the Contin emit.
In particular, attention is directed to the company's latest type of C.A.Y. electric starter. This unit has been designed to keep the electrical discharge down well within the safe limits of the storage battery for momentary discharge, and by means of suitable reduction gear to utilize a high-speed motor. Consequently the equipment develops an immense starting effort without risk of damaging the battery.
A distinct feature of C.A.V. starters is that they can be fitted without alteration to either engine or chassis.
' This is an advantage which chassis builders much appreciate, and many well-known makers fit them.
