High-jump Model
An mifxiKHHwl test of the stamina of a light British motor-cycle was recently provided by a German pilot. He dropped a bomb alongside a U.S.A. that had been propped against a wall, and when the owner returned all he could find at first nns a bomb-crater. Tlie cycle, a .V)f> c.c. model, was eventually found in a field I*2o yards away, having been blown clean over a house. Apparently it had landed squarely on its wheels, which were badly buckled, but apart from the loss ot the gearbox, the machine remained intact and neither the forks nor the tranie was broken although the forks themselves were L-shaped.
