Speed and the Engineer 101 



It seems hardly worth while recording 

 the speeds attained by such craft as Miss 

 England, by aircraft or by the racing motor 

 car. 



To write confidently of the record to- 

 day means that before the printer can get 

 to the setting up of his type a higher figure 

 has been reached, one alters it in the proof 

 and again before the printer can make the 

 correction the record is obsolete. 



And so it goes on always the triumph 

 of speed. There is no apparent limit and 

 too often has the prophet been hopelessly 

 out of it in these matters.
