So the power of the !Golden Arrow is presumably greater than that of any other racing car in the extreme velocity class except the Triplex.

Because it is expected to go at a rate of 355 feet a second, Major Seagrave has an aiming device to keep the car on a straight course. There is a streamâ€"lined projection at the front of the car, joined by a black band along the top of the hood to the rear sight, which is immediately in front of Major Seagrave. This should be a tremendous help in keeping the car on a true course between the ocean on the one hand and the sand dunes on the other.

The new car is especially designed to meet the problems of aeroâ€"dynamics which face drivers who have ascended Into the new plans of extreme speed. They find strange equations introduced into the guidance and reactions of an extreme high velocity car.

These qualities make for high speed and stability. _ _Air tunnel tests have demonstrated that the Golden Arrow meets practiâ€" cally its greatest speed possibilities, while the safety margin against posâ€" sible fnstability is said to be even greater than that of Major Seagrave‘s huge mystery S, with which he drovei at a rate of 203.79 miles an hour in March, 1927.
