CHEWING GUM USEFUL.
Sometimes a leak may develop in the fuel line, radiator, or a hose connection, and the driver of the car is often at a loss to know how to effect a repair, since the tools and spares earried in the car rarely ever provide for such contingencies. Chewing gum is a very useful thing to have in the car, not only for stopping lealcs, but also for keeping back seat drivers quiet. In a recent race at Brooklands track a car developed a leak in the radiator, and an amusing sight was witnessed when the driver, mechanic, and pit staff were all s'een busily chewing gum in order to effect a repair.
