"TRANSIENT TROUBLES"
The Past Presidents, President and Hon. Secretary were unanim- ously elected to the nomination committee for the election of a new Board of Directors.
Taking as his subject. "Transient Troubles of Transportation," Ro- tarian Walker (Vice-President of the Club) sald⚫—
Traffic is a science, but transport is an art; since success depends. in these days of acute competition, on are psychological factors which often. difficult to determine. Thus it behoves transport companies to try to give the public what they want. Transportation companies have been epitomised as "Factories producing ton-mlies and" passen- ger-miles". As such they try to cell their wares at the highest possible prices... This is diametri cally opposed to the "something for nothing" principle and conse- quently legislative aid is invariably provided to preserve the balance.
SPEED
The whole question of speed bolls down to a consideration of four vital elements namely, distance, cost, comfort and frequency.
On account of the high speed. many optimistic utterances have been made with regard to the fu- ture of aerial transport Irrespec tive of route length.
STREAMLINING
The era of speed has resulted in. the general adoption of stream. lining. This vogue has caught on with the public to such an extent that it is perhaps impolitic to point out that the common garden slug is a beautiful example of real
the Etreamlining. From
rail- of View, stream- way point lining must be regarded from two aspects: Do the public want these trains secondly. Do the rallway want them? The answer is in both cases a conditional one.
The public want them if they cheapen the cost of transport and give facilities which are not other- wise available. There is another powerful factor "distinctiveness" or "novelty". This has been shown In America to be very important in buliding up patronage.
i
"TATPO BELLE" You will of course appreciate the between very great distinction streamlined railcars and stream- lined locomotives. The former are not so dependent on the speed factor. They appeal to the public from an aesthetic point of view. An example of a railcar so treated is our local "Taipo Belle", which has been augmented, recently by the "Canton Belle". One great. ad- vantage in this type of construc tion is the Increased stability achi eved by lowering the centre of gravity.
