Sir Charles said he confidently anticipated the R. 100 would have a speed of at least 80 miles an hour and would lift 62 or 63 tons, where- as the contract calls for 70 miles an hour and a lift of 60 tons, "It is too early yet to make any announce- ment regarding the date of trials," Sir Charles added. "We are pro- ceeding with machinery trials, and hope soon to fix up the trials in the air," Commander Burney said the R. 100 was designed for Egyptian routes, not the Atlantic route to Canada. The vessel is suitable for trial flights across the Atlantic but it was never intended for regular service on that Route, he said, The suggestion the R, 100 is al- ready obsolete is decidedly at var- iance with the statement of Com- mander Hugo Eckener, who said af- ter conclusion of his recent world flight in the. Graf Zeppelin that he proposed. to build a new ship to ap- [aximately the same shape as the 100, which is fatter 'than the zep- pelin. He proposed to incorporate passenger quarters with the hull of the ship and fit two engines in cach car, both of which features are prominent in the R, 100, Frantic Efforts to Reach| Premier Opens Bowmanville Boys' Training School Fair S500 CLAIM AGAINST BRIDE (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont., Sept, 25--Irving E.
