RAILWAY CONTRACT
BRITISH FIRM SCORES. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 25. A Birmingham firm has obtained a contract for 50 coaches for the South African railways at a cost of £170,000. It is understood that the tender was successful on its merits only. There was keen competition from Continental firms, including Belgian and German manufacturers, but the British tender, while not the lowest, was considered to be technically the most favourable. —British Official Wireless.
