POWER
FOR FARMERS
Behind the design of this new British tractor is a; wealth of practleal experience accumulated over the years by the operation of machines of varying horse power in all parts of the world.
The new tractor -- the David Brown "900" has more power than previous models. This has been achieved by Incorporating the latest develop. ments in fuel pump and injection equipment. The development of the rotary type distributor pump has enabled this firm to increase the working speed of the engine and at the same time oblain a higher thermal efficiency.
By ensuring that the full engine power can be utilised at the drawbar, the David Brown company is providing a high powered tractor which can give results in terms of extra power to the farmer. This means, for example, that a 4-furcow plough can be handled in many conditions or, alternatively, that 3- furrow ploughing can be carried out at a faster rate.—CIO.

STEAM RAISING UNITS
Heat is extracted from the nuclear reactor by a coolant pas,
carbon dioxide, circulated throughout the system under a pressure of 150 lb, per sq. in Gas passes upwards through the fuel channels in the reactor core, becomes heated, and is led away to the steam raising units where it gives up its heat to water with the formation of
steam.
Eight units are radially dis posed
In parts round each re- actor. They contain banks of steel tubes through which the water and steam flow; as with the fuel cans, the steam raising unit tubes are finned to provido an extended surface and thus improve the efficiency of heat
transfer
The 16 units for the complete station contain about 300 miles of tubing.
