While these two agencies will make, every attempt to -have the course in perfect condition, they cannot influence thearlving of the car. - It will be up to Major Segrave to keep It in a straight course. At 240 miles an hour the car is trav eling S52 feet a second. Suppose the car should deviate only three degrees from a straight" course while speeding along at its maxi mum speed. In one second, it would be 18.442 feet off the course. If it were to veer ten de grees it would be 61.42 feet off the coarse In one second. On one side as the ear hortlas down the beach Is the soft sand of the shore side.' on the other the water of the ocean. Farther than that, a car speed lag along at upward of 200 miles an hoar cannot be brought back into a straight course at once.
