As announced in our last issue, we are prepared to present a service pocket-wallet of tools to the sender of the best answer to the following question :— If you were in charge of a steam wagon or tractor on active service, and it became necessary for you to abandon it at a few moments' notice, how would yeu proceed to put it out of action as most effectively to render it useless as an enemy's capture ? The best solution will be that which suggests a B22
means to prevent the vehicle or tractor being either driven or towed by the enemy captor, while at the same time enabling it to. be recovered more or less intact by our own troops. The use of firearms or explosives, or the setting fire to the machine, to ensure destruction of or damage to any part of the chassis, will not be -considered as an effective solution. Letters, marked "DISABLEMENT,' must be received _ before Wednesday, the 7th October.
