Stroke Is Oxford's

Chief Problem

As yet there is no ready-made stroke at either university for this year's Centenary Boat Race, but, as was the case in 1953, one will no doubt be discovered both at Oxford and Cambridge before April 3 (writes Hylton Cleaver).

The Oxford A and B crews, who are still being kept in training, were stroked by Australiaha J. McLeod anti E.B. Vine respectively on their last outing.

SHELL ICA Development

TWO-TANKFUL TEST

Here is a challenges after using two tankfuls of SHELL with I.C.A, you will notice your engine running smoother and performing better than it ever did since the car was new or the engine overhauled and tuned. Smoother running means less engine damage. Better performance can mean more miles per gallon:

Shell I.C.A. enables motor manufacturers to use higher- performance engines of high compression ratios, and leads the way to cheaper motoring.

REMEMBER I.C.A, containing tricresyl phosphate, is exclusive to SHELL..

IGNITION CONTROL ADDITIVE exclusive to SHELL

Shell Gasoline now contains I.C.A. (Ignition Control Additive). This Shell-discovered additive, incorporat- ing tricresyl phosphate, puts an end to the major cause of power loss... pre-ignition and the short-circuiting of spark plugs by combustion chamber deposits. Prove this for yourself by the Two-Tankful Test.

خورد

Pre-ignition and spark plug fouling are the greatest barriers to the full use of engine power. Now there's something you can do about it! The reason why engines become rough and lose power is that deposits accumulate in the combustion chambers and on the spark plugs. In the combustion chamber those deposits become red hot and cause the fuel/air mixture to ignite prematurely, This is called pre-ignition. It results in a severe noise which engineers call '"wild ping". You have probably heard it, especially during acceleration and hill climbing. Pre-ignition can damage your engine.

You may also have noticed that your engine develops an unexplained misfire when

you are driving on the open road. That is because the same deposits "build up” où

your spark plugs and short-circuit them. This wastes fuel and robs you of power.

Determined to abolish the greatest cause of power and fuel waste,

Shell research technicians discovered a unique fuel additive, I.C.A. Shell Gasoline with I.C.A. accomplishes what no other fuel ever did before. First, by "fireproofing" the deposit it stops pre-ignition. Second, by changing the character of the deposits it eliminates the sliért-circuiting of spark plugs.

Those deposits are robbing you of fuel and power. By making them harmless, Shell Gasoline with IC.A. enables new and overhauled engines to retain their "new car" performance longer. Older engines take on new life. From today you can start using all the cylinders all the time by changing to Shell with LC.A.
