TO-DAY you can see the new Twin-

Ignition Eight by Nash - A motor car which brings the principle of eight cylinders in a straight line to a truly amazing now high point of perfection. This Nash straight eight starts where others leave off, to give its owners the finer things of motor- ing. Three years and more of in- tensive design and development by Nush engineers have gone into its efficient structure. The engine is u masterpiece of motordom, combining ยะ it does the principles of eight- cylinders-in-line, Twin-Ignition, high- compression, valves-in-head, 9-boar ing. integrally counter-weighted. hollow-crankpin crankshaft and aluminium pistons and connecting rods. This new motor car, with this now engine, will rank unmistakably as a distinctive expression of the Nash genius for motor car manufac- ture. See it drive it—to-day!

KAYE DON'S FIRST RUN AT DAYTONA.

The above picture shows the "Silver Bullett" as it shot over the Daytona Beach at 172 miles per hour. This was, Kaye Don's first trial run, when a broken petrol pipe stopped further attempts for the time being. Although other runs were made afterwards, the actual attempt to beat Sir Heury Segrave's record was abandoned for somewhat mysterious reasons. The beach was said to be too bumpy, while other reports hinted at friction between Kaye Don and others connected with the trials. Even on the run snapped above, the air- plane was quickly overtaken.
