"I find that *Bisurated' Magnesia taken after most of my meals is the only thing that keeps me free from pain and discomfort, and I take it regularly. I often prescribe it for my patients, and have had very good results**

(Signed) Dr. H, GM.., M.R C.S.. L.R.C.P.

THE English doctor is the most conservative medical

man in the world, and when he not duly recommends but personally uses a remedy there can be no more con- viacing proof of its efficacy. This doctor is bat one of many who constantly advise the use of Bisurated Magnesia In all cases of indigestion. Most stomach trouble is caused by acidity, and the reason why : Bisurated Magnesio gives quick relief is that it in ently pantralises excess acid and soothes, heals and strengthens the inflamed stomach lining. Nothing could besimpler, safer or surer. If you suffer with indigestion

or stomach disorder of any kind put your faith in Europesa science and make an end of your troubles by taking Bisurated' Magnesis after eating or whenever pain is felt.

OIL-ENGINE DEVELOPMENTS

There were some particularly interesting designs of compression Ignition engines exhibited, and it worth noting that there is a tendency to combine the principles of direct and indirect Injection. The Perkins Diesei engines, for instance. employ the patented "Aeroflow" system of combustion, which is in effect a combination of the ante-chamber and the dir- ect injection type of combustion arrangement. It results in parti-

Despite the fit- ting of extra electrical equipment, the weight of this chassis has been reduced sufficiently to enable all 74-seater body to be mounted, li required. An important develop- ment is the use of batteries for manoeuvring the chassis indepen- dently of the overhead equipment. BRAKING SYSTEMS A teature of some trolley bus chassis is what is termed rege- nerative braking. This is a de- vice whereby, as the brake ly applied; the motor, which nor-. mally drives the vehicle, is con- verted into a dynamo and restores current to the electrical generat- Ing system, which current is used again subsequently for driving the vehicle.

Regenerative and rheostatic braking is provided by Ransomes' patent system of control in the feet of 50 vehicles which the Ip- swich arm are supplying to Cape-" town. Regenerative braking is obtained compulsorily. na the same foot brake pedal as applies the air brakes; the change-over from regenerative to rheostatic braking takes place automatically at a set speed.

AN INGENIOUS DESIGN An, outstanding example of ca- pacious passenger accommodation was afforded by the new Dennis Lancet 11 chassis in which a body space of 24ft. is obtained with a wheelbase of 17ft. 5in. This chassis can be fitted with either the Den- Diesel nia-Lanova low-pressure engine or a new 4-cyander petrol- unit; in either case the length of the power unit is said to be only Sit. 6in

On the same stand was an ex- aniple of the 80 b.p. streamiine fire engine, which was built by the Gutidford firm to "the design of the Chief Officer of the London Fire Brigade." Two transversa seats accommodate officers and men in the enclosed body and there is a cabinet with 5 sets af self-contained breathing apparat us. A turbine pump, suction hose and telescopic ladder complete the equitment.

SPECIALISED EXHIBITS"

The largest exhibit at Olympis was the 85ft. Hardy railcar which embodies the experience gained from the performance of 7 rail- cars put into service by the Great Western Hallway, which have now covered 250,000 miles.

Two A.E.C.-Ricardo 6-cylinder 130 h.p. oll engines are mounted on an independent sub-frame at dir- ectly opposite points of the chas-" als. They enable the rulicar to be driven at 75-80 mm.p.h.

In the municipal section-a new departure for this show-an im- posing exhibit was, a 100ft. Ley- Tand-Metz turntable escape for the Airmingham Fire Brigade. This machine is almost human in its reactions, for it can be elevat- ed, extended and rotated simul- taneously, but if in the process the ladder should strike an obsta- cle, the mechanism stope at/once. Similarly, automatic stoppage prevents the safety limits for ex- tension at any degree or inclina- tion being exceeded. .

"The only portable gas producer plant was shown on a Latil Trau Her, which is driven, steered and braked on all 4 wheels and which is capable of hauling large capa- city loads at good road speeds,

Another Trauller, shown was the timber. haulage type, which.' has a folding spud adhesion device for operation in soft ground, the specially constructed, timber trai- ler being mounted on giant preu- matics.
