The inventor, W.G.St.J. Martingale, at the controls; his faithful assistant, Stuggins, manning the tender; the Bishop of Mortshire and family as passengers. The 'Taur couple in the background are identified only as ' old Noddy & His Mare'.

Martingale's meteoric career will be examined at length (I hope) in an upcoming issue of "Herd Mentality" (shameless plug) 7@=e
