NEW BILL WILL CHEAPEN BRITAIN'S MILK

Monopoly Distribution

To Be Tried

Proposals to revolutionise milk distribution in this country are to come before Parliament this session.

The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W. S. Morrison, is preparing a new Milk Bill intended to

Rationalise deliveries;

Cut out waste;

Reduce the price to consumers.

Avoid overlapping;

The main provision will be a new Milk Commission, independent of the Milk Marketing Board.

The Commission will carry block delivery experiments in three or four provincial areas.

And if these experiments are ac- cessful the scheme will be introduced throughout the country, gradually. MONOPOLY IN EACH AREA

This includes a down-draught carburettor incorporating an acceleration pump, which provides a rich mixture momentarily on the sudden opening of the throttle. At part throttle openings the depression in the inlet pipe acts upon a spring loaded disc valve which admits additional air to the jets. A thermostat-controlled valve in the exhaust manifold supplies additional heat to the mixture, having started from cold, for rapid warming up and complete vapourisation.

The car was fitted with the usual carburation system standard on this car.

In addition, a diaphragm, actuated by the inlet pipe depression, automatically adjusts the timing to suit the conditions of load. Sparking plug gaps of the order of .037 in. to .040 in. are used, in conjunction with a suitably wound induction coil.

The ignition timing is varied by the usual centrifugal governor.

Description of Trial.--The trial was held upon the Club's Six Standard Routes, which consist of out-and home runs, from London, on Roads A.40 (Cheltenham Road), A.30, B.3400 and A.303 (Exeter Road), A. (Great North Road), A.41 and A422 (Stratford-on-Avon Road), A4 (Bath Road), and A.5 and A.45 (Coventry Road). With the exception of one day, the weather during the trial was fine. The car did not coast when descending hills. brands of "No. 1" grade fuel were used, purchased at random on the road.

Fuel Consumption.-Fuel consumption was at the rate of 43.40 miles per gallon (equivalent to 45,0 ton-miles per gallon). Engine Starting.——

On the last five days The engine started from cold (after standing overnight), in an average time of three seconds; of the trial, when cold, the strangler stuck in the "closed" position, through fouling the air-cleaner, which had shifted. This was remedied on each occasion in an average time of 45 sec. When warm, the engine started at orice on all occasions.

Until three months ago this did not trouble him, but he then came home, said he had been to Sheffield In- Armory, and burst suddenly into tears.
