spaciousness. But we often forget that


other enemy— noise. This is a year-round problem, which is not yet fully recognised, but is growing all the time. After all, we live in a more crowded and mechanised world which adds up to very much more noise than our parents, let alone our grand­ parents, had to contend with. And as if this were not bad enough, living space generally i5 reduced.


PROTECTION


our neighbours and our houses probably, and flats almost certainly, have much thinner walls than those of a genera tion ago.


We all live much closer to With television sets, record


players, and motors revving away on anything from wash­ ing machines indoors to cars and planes outdoors— to say nothing of those everyday sounds of babies crying, youngsters singing, people talking, or the tap-tap of high heels in the upstair flat—it is not surprising that nowadays we need not only to protect ourselves, but tc give our neighbours some measure of . protection as well.


One of the simplest and


most satisfactory ways of achieving tills is to install a fitted carpet. It is a first- rate insulator against noise, in addition to giving the warmth and look of- luxury, and tlie feeling of extra space that is always achieved with wall-to-wall carpeting.

yo u r carpets T H E R E ’S nothing like


woven carpets for variety in design and colour, and ail that is best and newest in them will be on display in shops and stores during Ax-minster and Wilton fortnight which starts on


can be cut to fit so that no joins at all are needed.


Most rooms, however, par­


ticularly in old houses, have odd alcoves, recesses or a bow-window, and where the carpeting has to allow for a fireplace or built-in furni­ ture, it is best to choose 27in. or 36in. wide carpet. Many high quality Axminsters and Wlltons are made in these narrow widths only.


ECONOMICAL For an unevenly-shaped


room it is the most econo­ mical method of dose carpet­ ing. The lengths of carpet will have to be sewn together, but when this is done by experts it is surprising how- little one is aware of the seams even on a plain carpet. Where there is a pattern, the seams are hardly visible at all.


alise in woven carpets, and they will measure your room, make a floor plan, and have the carpet strips sewn together, allowing for all the awkward nooks and crannies in the room, to give a per­ fect wall-to-wall, draught- free and sound absorbing floor covering.


Good carpet retailers speci­ Fitted carpets are luxurious.


The pattern you choose may be a popular one, and


you may find it is made in broadloom as well as in nar­ row widths. I f this is so, then it may be economical to buy the carpeting in two dif­ ferent widths: broadloom for •the main floor area in a hall, for instance, and 27in. width fer the stairs or a recess. One of the great advan­


tages of the narrower- 27in. carpeting is that it usually


comes in a much greater- variety of patterns, and if


you are looking for something a little unusual, this is cer­ tainly the width for- you. The reason is that a manu­


your personal choice and set the scene with a beauti­ fully designed carpet which provides warmth and well being underfoot while it con­ veys a home atmosphere of


Saturday. So this is the time to make


style and elegance. Here are some carpet shop-


ping and care hints to have in mind:


Close-fitted carpet solves


the problems connected with bare, unfurnished and often draughty, hard-to-keep-clean floors. The prettiest designs and colours are available in Axmdnster and W i l t o n ranges because they are woven on looms which set no technical limit to the pattern variety a n d number o f colours that can be produced. Some of the most exclusive shades and unusual designs are made in 27in. and 36in. widths only. ,


facturer is more likely to experiment with a new design, which may or may not prove popular with the general car-pet buying public, in the economical 27in. rather than a broadloom width which would usually be given a fairly long run. So the newest, high fashion patterns are often to be found at first in the narrow widths.


* *' * Broadloom Axminsters and


Wiltons in standard widths ranging from 6ft. right up to I5ft„ in hundreds of modem and traditional designs, plain colours, textured or embossed effects, can be cut to any length requived. They give


the average room a nearfitted look without any joins.

N O T M U C H N E W T O S E E A T T H E


M O T O R S H O W S ir William Lyons has saved this year’s Motor Show


from being one o f the dullest for many years with his new X J 6 models.


Manufacturers started bring­


ing out their 1969 models as early as last January, so that little remains for the Motor Show in the way of really new cars.


What is new is confined to


tile up-grading ot models to give e x t r a performance; Interior and mechanical design changes to meet safety require­ ments. and new engine and body options so that the cus­ tomer has a wider choice.


However, any motorist who


is thinking of selecting his car from the models at Ole Show need not be deterred unless he has a fair amount of spare spending money. Next year’s cars will all be more expensive than their present equivalents at Earls Court. More powerful and using somewhat more pet­ rol as well.


Influence So forgetting about cars of


tomorrow many of ivhlch will be designed with export poten­ tial in mind, let’s look at the cars of today.


Practically every model shows


the influence of the United States safety laws. Rocker type switching is becoming univer­ sal, handles are recessed or are of plastic. Steering cloumns are energy absorbing and there is padding on the wheel.


To show the extent of the


changes one can cite that they total no less than twenty in tho new Jaguar XJ6s— and no experienced motorist would claim that the Jaguar was an 'unsafe” car before.


Thus they include hazard


warning systems, special fit­ tings and layout of the fuel system to prevent crash- leakage, car security exempli­ fied by ignition steering locks and anti-theft window-light controls.


M l this, no matter what car


they are carried in, and most •have a fairly full safety-plus specification, costs money. Jaguar put 'the cost to them as £250.000. an amount which must inevitably be passed on to the customer in the end. That is why prices or most of thc cars at Earls Court are up.


Result In some cases, pending the


arrival of a new generation of engines the present ones have been “tweaked” to produce additional power.


This has generally been done


by improving the movement of the fuel into and out of the engine and v a lv e timing changes to help this process. Tlie result gives some 10 per cent, or more improvement in power without materially affecting consumption.


The other and more funda­


mental method of “tweaking” comes from using petrol injec­ tion. which eleminates the car­ burettor, and measures more precisely what the engine needs at differing speeds.


Both British and German


manufacturers arc using this on an increasing scale and the result could speed its more general introduction by making


cosfe lower. At present it considerably more expensive


than carburetters, but ns they get more complicated their


costs are going up while fuel injection prices are going down. Another method of improving

both performance and economy could lie in turbocharging which has already been adopted for diesel engines in commer­ cial vehicles.


This approaches the ideal of


getting something for nothing, because the exhaust gases are used to help pack more fuel in­ to the engine and the turbine involved is relatively cheap.


Wider look

America seems most advanced


evident on the stands is found in wheels. Not only has the magnesium style been adopted wholeheartedly as a badge of greater power, but the lower profile tyres used give a wider look. They are also very prac­ tical in the extra degree of road holding they give. Radial tyres os against cross-ply are also fitted to more cars as standard this year to match their increased performance.


Specialises Since the passing of the A.40


Britain has not had a car which aimed to double as both an estate and private model, but suoh cars are becoming increasingly familiar among those coming to us from Europe.


in this type of car and as far as sales here are concerned, there is a steady increase of estate models due to the rising number of people who tour and camp.


Lighting is something often


taken fur granted, but -this year’s cars have considerably improved illumination, even -though halogen lamps are only fitted on the more expensive.


rectangular lamps are more efficient, butmuch of tfie-credit may be given to the general adoption of alternators which keep the battery fully charged


Claims are made that the Suspension systems have also


been improved or radically re­ designed in'some "cases. This means that not only is the comfort and ride of. the ,car; better, but -its'road holding-is' increased.- . '

which had its usual quota of antastic cars which are


exercises in virtuosity, but seldom seem to conic to fruition, talk was on the future of the manufacturers. The trend of tlie merger, it
