ANÆMIA OF THE BRAIN
It was a theory at an inquest at In lam, Manchester, that -a motor cyclist T met his death as the result of temporary blackness coming over his eyes while" travelling at high speed. Wit- , nesses stated that the cyclist—Oliver Talbot, aged twenty-one—was riding . at between sixty and seventy-five miles an hour, when he developed a wobble j and crashed. ■ ■, Mr John F. Leeming, of Northern , Air Lines Limited, called as an expert, asserted that in motor cycling, and in ‘ piloting an aeroplane, a temporary _ blackness came over the eyes when the ' head was bent while one was travelling „ at high speed. This caused momentary loss of sense of direction. He had beard it described as brairy anamiia, which temporarily dulled consciousness, and ~ ho thought it was quite possib' that it < occurred in this instance. The Coroner remarked that i. was a / reasonable hypothesis, and a verdict of t “Accidental death” was returned.
