FIFTEENTH BUS PUT ON ROAD

ADDITION TO MIDLAND MOTORWAYS FLEET

Delivery was taken yesterday by Midland Motorways of its fifteenth passenger bus. The new vehicle has a completely locally-built body on a Bedford bus chassis, altered to the requirements of the firm. It seats 31 passengers, and is attractively finished in green leather, with sponge rubber seats and backs. The installation of flush roof lighting, an improvement in design suggested by Motorways, has enabled two inches to be saved in the over-all height. There are several interesting features about the new bus which follows in general design five similar buses in use by the firm. To obviate cracking at the point where the bonnet joins the bodywork, a leather strip has been inserted to take up play. Along the sides of the bus at the windows overlapping sheets have been welded to permit of “weaving” without damaging the paintwork, and guards have been eliminated over the rear the body being flush. Altogether, it is an attractive complement to the five buses of similar type that the firm is operating.

PREVENT EXCESSIVE CYLINDER WEAR

Up to 90 per cent, of cylinder wear takes place during the first 10 minutes after a cold start. The one sure way of ensuring complete upper cylinder lubrication is to add Tefoll to your petrol. Tefoll enters the cylinder as a vapour in which is suspended ultra microscopic particles of Colloidal Graphite in the correct proportion, and these particles become part of the metal surfaces of the cylinder walls, piston rings, valve stems, and other wearing parts, giving them a slippery Kollag film which affords them complete protection against excessive wear. Consequently when your engine starts from cold with no oil film present on the cylinder walls, the Kollag film thus formed supplies the necessary lubricating qualities that protect it during the warming-up period and gives power combined with more miles per gallon. When you buy petrol always ask the attendant to add Tefoll —the perfect Upper Cylinder Lubricant.
