PETROL FROM COAL
PROGRESS IN BRITAIN USE BY AIR FORCE (British Official Wireless.) Roc 10 a.m. RUGBY, March 21. In view of the Government policy of assisting the production of petrol from coal, interest attached to a statement by Sir Philip Sassoon, in the House of Commons, that nine squadrons of the Royal Air Force are now Hying entirely, and with satisfactory results, on spirit derived by the low temperature carbonisation of British coal.
Sir Philip Sassoon also referred to the progress being made with British compression ignition engines, and drew attention to the fact that the world record altitude for an aeroplane fitted with a heavy oil engine was established by a British machine last May, with a height of 28,000 ft.
