HUGE MOTOR PURCHASES
OLYMPIA STIMULUS FIRMS TO EXTEND WORKS British Wireless —Press Assn.—Copyright RUGBY, Sunday. In the eight days ended yesterday on which the motor show at Olympia was open, more than 275,000 persons paid for admission. Manufacturers and agents say they include a much higher percentage of purchasers than in the past. It is stated tfrat as a result the show was the most successful in the history of the motor industry. Leading British firms are reported to have contracted for the disposal of their whole output for 1928. The effects of this will be that their works will have to be extended, and work will be found for about 90,000 unemployed persons. There has been also a brisk demand for cars of foreign make. It is anticipated that about 200,000 more cars will be in use in the coming year in Britain, the majority being low-powered vehicles of British make. —A. and N.Z.
DROPS OF OIL RESTORE PEP A six had a peculiar trouble. The engine had no life until the car was run up to 25 m.p.h. in second gear, when it could be slipped into high and would run nicely. Compression, valves, plugs, pointy and coil were O.K. The automatic advance weights were examined and found to be sticking, due to lack of oil, and so a few drops of oil proved the remedy.
