SUCCESSFUL TESTS
PETROL DISTILLED FROM COAL. RUGBY, Thursday. Only small quantities of petrol extracted from coal were used by the Royal Air Force for tests and experiments prior to last year, when one Home defence squadron flew solely on such fuel. The Under-Secretary for Air, Sir Philip Sassoon, stated in the House of Commons that, in view of the very satisfactory results of this trial, a contract has now been placed to cover the requirements of seven squadrons. — (British Wireless.)
