Hot tubes

Sir,

I note that in your report of the Brighton run last year you state that “it is nice to record that more engines seem to be on tube ignition these days”.

I would be very interested indeed to hear of any car anywhere in the world on tube ignition (running on it, and with no alternative form of ignition), excepting my own 1897 Daimler.

Apart from this, you have a couple of Leon Bolées—not cars, and that, I think you will find, is the lot!

[If anyone has a veteran car running in the “Brighton” or similar events on hot-tube ignition, will they please stake a claim now or forever hold their peace?—Ed.]
