SPEED RECORD
PLANS FOR NEW CAR. United Press Association—By Electric Teleg. ..ph—Copyright). (Received this dav at 9. a.m.) LONDON, June 29. Jll a dramatic manner, seated in Coatalen’s Paris office, Kaye Don approved of the drawings of tho most powerful motor car in the world, with which lu* will attack the wordl’s land speed record. The drawings were immediately despatched to Wolverhampton, where the construction of a machine begins in a secret corner of the works. In addition to being the most powerful car it will be the costliest in the world, namely £23,000. It will be designed to travel nearly three hundred miles hourly. The biggest problem was wind pressure, but Coatalen believes lie will succeed in evolving a method of stream-lining to prevent the car trying to fly instead olf keeping to the ground. Don is one of Rritain’s most fearless and skilled drivers and the idol of Bmoklands race crowds.
