ALTERATIONS TO “BLUEBIRD” Preparing Famous Car For Record Attempt.

SIX WHEELER SUGGESTED

Sir Malcolm Campbell's famous} "Blue Bird" car is now being" re- designed in preparation for his next attempt on the land-speed record, and there have been many conjec tures about what will be the radical alterations carried out with a view to raising the record to 300 m.p.h. In all previous reports, emphasis has been placed on the problem created by insufficient track adhe ision with the rear-wheel drive which has been used, and it is com monly acknowledged that there is no good prospect of his breaking his own record, unless a new drive is adopted.

Mr. R. A. Railton, who designed the "Blue Bird", recently gave an address, before the Institute of Automotive Engineers, London, in which he expressed the opinion that the limits of tracks adhesion with two-wheel drive were reached last year by Sir Malcolm Campbell on Daytona Beach. He explained that on that occasion the influence of wheel-spin on hard, damp sand) raised the revolutions of the driving wheels to 3300 r.p.m., whereas the normal revolutions at a speed of 270 m.ph. with the 37-inch tyres used would be only 2400 r.p.m. That meant that there was a rate of alip
