Training School For Cab Drivers In UK

Many of Britain's ex-Servicemen, anxious for a job combining an open-air life with plenty of move- ment and excitement, are now in training at the British Legion Taxi School. Posibly the most difficult part of the course consists of acquir- ing knowledge of London, the biggest and most bewildering elly in the world. Trainees spend three out of every four days cycling about the streets of the Metropolis, learning not only the street names but also the names and localities of depart- ment stores, restaurants, theatres, clubs and the many other likely "destinations" of their future fores.

While at the British Legion School the trainces receive Ministry of Labour grants of £3 a week for a single man, £3.10. for a married mun, and. £3.18 for a married man with children.

When he has anally passed and obtained his taxi the fully fledged driver is assured of a reasonable living. Although many buy their byn cabs, the majority find it more 'économical to work for a taxi com- pany thus avoiding the many over~~ hood charges of the owner-driver.

Reducing the size of essential components to a fruction of their standard dimensions was one of the mujor problems which Inced Britain's radio designers during World War II.
