Competition
Number 2
The
mystery "petals" against a ruler
These are "petal"
shaped pieces made from a soft Lead alloy. There are each about 2
cm long. There are 20 plus of these on a 1934 Standard and they
are all identically shaped. I have no reason to doubt that they
are probably on every Standard or indeed most cars of the era.
They are normally invisible in everyday use but you would be in no
doubt that they are there. What are they and what do they do?
Again I will allow over two weeks
for your answers and there will be two prizes for the winner, due
to a rollover from the last competition.
Send your answer to webmaster@standardmotorclub.org.uk.
Good luck!
Ideas for further competitions
are welcomed.
I am aware that there are other cars
and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
have material and photographs, please let me know. Please send me, Phil Homer, a
message at: Phil Homer
