NON-STOP RECORD.
A unique test, proving the wonderful endurance and. reliability of the modern motor cycle, ended recently at Melbourne Motordrome when 'an Aerial machine, with sidecar and passenger, was stopped after running continuously day and night for 15 days, and covering a distance of 10,590 miles, establishing a world's nonstop record test and also a non-engine stop record of 6612 miles—two outstanding performances. An interesting point In connection with the trial is that this same machine was started on. its gruelling test after finishing the recent 24 hours "Sun News-Pictorial" contest with full points for time, without having the engine overhauled. 'Eight different riders were engaged to pilot the machine, changing about, every 125 laps. The 10,000 odd miles were covered at an average speed of 35 miles per hour.
