"Music and the Speed of Jowetts"

Post by Tony Fearn »

Now isn't that a wonderful title?

There was a Jowett Cars Limited advert for the new 'Curlew' in a 'Light Car' magazine of 1935 that I found in the loft the other day whilst I was looking for brake-lining-thickness-difference references in pre-war cars for I.P..

The full page advert mentioned a 1935 catalogue titled:-

'Music and the Speed of Jowetts'

and it "tells of the cars, automatic clutch and free-wheel"

Now I've never heard or seen such a publication. Have any of you?

Tony.

No, but the reference to automatic clutch and freewheel strikes a 'chord' with me Re: the Humprey Sandburg gizmo in my Long Four.

Lets see what comes out of the ether . . .
The devil is in the detail!
