SPEED RECORD ON WATER
VITAL DISCOVERIES IN BOAT DESIGN STATEMENT BY MALCOLM CAMPBELL London; August 20. Sir Malcolm Campbell revealed that his world water speed record of 141.74 miles an hour which he established yesterday on Coniston Water, resulted in most important discoveries vitally affecting the design of high speed naval craft.
“There is ho need to improve on the new speed,” he declared. “I have dropped on discoveries far more important than merely installing a new engine aind slightly raising the record. Obviously I am not going to hand them on a plate to either Italy or Germany.”
