Racer Examining the Finish Line
Sir Malcolm Campbell, who will try to beat his own record of 272.108 m.p.h. speed over the measured mile beach course here, inspecting the suspended bullseye that hangs over the "finish line" of the measured mile to provide a mark at which he can shoot, as he hurtles in his lumbering seven-ton car, the Bluebird. In his first tuning-up of his car today, February 14, Campbell raced over the course at the respectable speed of about 200 m.p.h., but his tachometer was not registering, so no record of the time was made. He hopes to attain a speed of about 300 m.p.h. in his official shot at the record.
