PACEMAKER.- Ferrari is in many
ways responsible for the increased
pressure of development in racing and
this was made very obvious as long ago
as Monza 1951 when this prototype

MANS CLASS WINNER.-
The R.1 Jowett Jupiter, competition
version of the production Jupiter sports
two-seater, in 1951 form. The dif-
ference in headlamp position and details
of front cowling between this and the
1952 R.1 can be seen by comparing
this picture with that on page 119.
Interesting technical features are the
protruding valve cover, thus ensuring
that it is in the air-stream, and the
exhaust pipe running round the front
of the car. Jowett's technicians claim
that straight-through exhaust pipes
merely result in a loss of power.

ANOTHER UNCONFIRMED RECORD?-According to Douglas
F. Long of Mather & Crowther, Ltd., film actress Jill Melford claims
to have been the first person in Britain to fill up with branded petrol
in the "Second Branded Petrol Era." If, as stated, Miss Melford really
drove in this car clad as the handout picture shows her, and waited an
hour for the pump (conveniently caught by the cameraman-what was
he waiting for?) to be unlocked at midnight, she is now probably down
with pneumonia. What interests us is that the car is an Alldays out-
side a certain Weybridge garage. We note, too, that it is described as
1903, bears a 1904 V.C.C. plaque, is said to be Miss Melford's own, and
to be
one of the oldest cars in Britain." [Curtains-ED.]

RARE PICTURE of the early steam
car owned by Ivan Carr's father and
referred to in his "Cars I Have Owned"
article last December-see accompany-
ing letter from Mr. John C. Barlow.
We are told that it was raining and
cold when this picture was taken and,
knowing how difficult it is to get ladies
into open cars in such conditions, we
look and marvel!
