Saving the big car - the little one's job - Douglas Alderson - 20-05-2020
The Autocar July 1928 cover, unfortunately I do not have Tony's skills to improve the image.

That's a lovely cover. If send me a high-resolution scan - 1200 d.p.i. or larger if possible - I'll have a go for you. As files like that are often too large to send by email, use smash.com It's simple to use and very effective. My e-mail is tony@lathes.co.uk

I have a reasonable printout of the centre section of that Autocar cover- at the time I assumed it was a Rootes Brothers advertisement.
Unfortunately I cannot find where I took it from

Can anyone spot it? Tip: if you don't have a graphics program to save it to, left-click the picture to fully enlarge it. Unfortunately, it will then be far too large to see the details; to make it smaller, hold down the control key and roll the mouse wheel backwards.

If he has greased the steering box recently it will be the end of those white slacks. Black moly grease had not been invented but terminal anyway.

I appear to have almost cured my car of squirting grease out of top of the steering column by fulling it with SAE 140 oil. It doesn't try to ruin my trousers nearly as much now.
